In the near memory there is the criminal defense against Canada. At no time during the championship did Sweden feel any worse off than during the Canadian press in the eighth finals. Sweden certainly led but the effort was a bit long from what was shown later in the playoffs. And then Canada got punishment.

- At that moment when I was standing there against Beckie, I felt so full of confidence. I felt so great, long and radiated energy, Lindahl says and continues:

- Plus I had done my homework and knew she would hit it in that corner. It was just one of those occasions where everything coincided. I think it felt in people and that's why I think people felt they needed to write to me and we "connected".

A loss probably meant failure headlines. Instead, it ended with bronze success - and the rescue became classic.

- There were discussions about the VAR rule, that the goalkeeper would remain, there were discussions about how big the goal would be, says Lindahl and continues:

- It was also me who showed that I could. There were many discussions that coincided plus it was a 1-0 win for us.

Doubted: "Can I no longer?"

The rescue was part of Lindahl's career lift from spring and into autumn. This spring, she felt in top form - but with Chelsea's slightly bizarre goalkeeping situation with four high-quality goalkeepers, the playing time did not go into the World Cup. Combined with an outgoing contract was the worst possible situation.

“For me, it was important not to lose faith. I've always had it with me in my career. I've always thought I was a good goalkeeper. The (faith) faltered a little while I was elected. "I'm too old", "can't I anymore?", And so on, she says and continues:

- To build up my self-confidence, I needed to be at work. It was hard when I did not get to test, but in the bottom of it you never lose faith.

In form top: "The total is probably the best"

On the other side of the World Cup, she has been recruited by the big club Wolfsburg and started strong. All four matches she guarded the goal have ended with victory. Maybe the 36-year-old is better than ever.

- It's a little tricky to answer that one. The game of football is so many different factors. When you are younger, you might be faster, she says, and continues:

- Right now I feel like dealing with a whole thing that I need to do: to organize his defense, to be calm, to have enough knowledge how to train on certain techniques, game understanding ... All these things coincide well right now I feel. Some stuff is not as good as they have been, but the total is probably the best.
