There were blue-yellow players looking ahead in the mixed zone last night, knowing that they had done their job properly against Malta. In addition to Emil Forsberg behind two of the goals, he was involved in most of the offensive route.
- I have good self-confidence and want to put my teammates in good positions. I think it felt good today, ”says the offensive midfielder.
Tougher match awaits now - how do you see it?
- Sure it's a really tough match. The important thing for us is to recharge the batteries now, have a really good rehab and take care of the bodies, Forsberg says when it is only 70 hours between the matches.
Some who did not do their job properly were Spain. Joshua King acknowledged the penalty for Norway and thus missed the world nation the chance to secure his European place.
- Hard to answer how it affects them. They are so experienced and know what applies, says Forsberg and continues:
- But it is clear that it is difficult to get such a point loss and know that Sweden is waiting away. Everyone knows it's a tough match. We will make as good a match as possible and we will see how far it goes.
Do you think Spain will be hungry by their point loss, Robin Olsen?
- Perhaps perhaps. But we are also hungry. We also need the point, says the goalkeeper.
