Kåmark: "Tommy had hinted at us that we were better than we were"

Sweden met Brazil after a cross against Cameroon and a victory against Russia.

- It is clear that I remember it, while being in its own bubble. There was some nervousness, but at the same time we had played together for a long time so it was a safety in the group. It was really inspiring to go out, a fantastic feeling, ”says Kåmark.

Kåmark, who then played in IFK Gothenburg, remembers that he was impressed by the Brazilian press play.

- You can't relax for a second. What you forget about Brazil is that it is not only their offensive, but also their defensive. You have no time with the ball as the middle back or outer back either. It's really hard out there actually.

He also testifies to a strong belief that success could be achieved.

- It was at that time that both IFK Gothenburg and Malmö had met out in Europe. There was a respect for the opponents, but no exaggeration. We had faith in ourselves and we knew we were good. Tommy had hinted at us that we were better than we were, so we had a good confidence. 

After the cross against Brazil, an eighth quarter final awaited Saudi Arabia.
