Asllani believes that communication will be a key factor in the newly composed midfield as the national team now meets Slovakia.
- It's about having a lot of communication and trying to be available. You know yourself from when you were younger that it takes a while before it sits completely. I think it can still be good, ”she says
Alternatives on the inside center field are, for example, Nathalie Björn, Julia Karlernäs and Julia Zigiotti Olme. Federal Captain Peter Gerhardsson does not see Segers and Rubensson's absence as a major problem.
- There are others who speculate. We know a lot more than many others so there has been nothing in terms of training and we have had pretty clear to us who wants to replace. You become very constructive and spend very little effort and time on players who cannot be involved, he says.
According to Asllani, Slovakia is better than recent qualifiers Latvia and Hungary, but the match picture may be similar.
- They will not be as low as Latvia who were eleven in their own box, but not far from there. They have some sharp players up there who can make it difficult for us if we are not in the transition game. It is important that we have a good balance in the team, ”she says.
Kick off is 18.45 at Gamla Ullevi in Gothenburg.
