Which club it was that Lindahl chose between she does not want to reveal, more than in what league it was.

- It was in Spain.

In the Spanish league there are from this season Sofia Jakobsson and Kosovare Asllani, both star signings for Real Madrid's women's team CD Tacón. But it was the will to continue playing at the very highest level that made the decision for Lindahl.

- We were considering some alternatives within the family and it was the sports league that decided. Wolfsburg has a chance to play in a Champions League final within a year. I think I can help on that journey with my experience and my knowledge, Lindahl tells SVT Sport.

Now the debut is over. Wolfsburg won 1-0 against SC Sand after Pernille Harder scored the game's only goal on penalty.

- It felt good, a little tough match. We had a lot of control but failed to score more than one goal on penalty. It can be a bit difficult for a goalkeeper when you don't have much to do.

"Has come to an even better team than Chelsea"

The everyday life of the German masters is often so. Wolfsburg dominates against most teams in the league, which is uneven than the English she just left. Still, she keeps her new employer higher than the previous one.

- It feels like I've come to an even better team than Chelsea. We lost to Wolfsburg every time we met them in double meets. It is evident in the mentality of the girls here, they have a very professional attitude.

There is no doubt that 36-year-old Lindahl does not see time in Germany as a chance to unwind in the company of some of the world's best players.

- It feels really honored to be able to join this gang. It is important for me to maintain a high level, I really want to come in and deliver at the level they are at.

Shelters the injured goalkeeper

Lindahl was recruited to fill the gap behind injured Alma Schult. Lindahl is not late in paying tribute to his colleague.

- Schult is an incredibly good goalkeeper and this is her home. I'm coming in right now to help the club, when she comes back I hope I can contribute but different profile and goalkeeper type.

Sweden's national team captain has played two training matches before the league premiere against SC Sand and has kept zero in all.

It must be nice not to have let in a single goal?

- Yes, but at the same time it is what they are used to here.
