Swedish football aims to start allsvenskan and superetta on June 14. However, a majority of the clubs in Allsvenskan believe that it will be without an audience, according to a survey conducted by the Football Channel.
However, Helsingborg's Andreas Granqvist believes that the most important thing is that the All Swede gets started - with or without an audience.
- I want to play matches as soon as possible. I want it to start - preferably tomorrow. Of course I would prefer it to be public, but it is not my or our decision but it is above all the government and probably also the Swedish Football Association and Sef (Swedish elite football), he tells Sydsvenskan.
"Feels fresh and vibrant"The national captain admits that it would be special to play all Swedish football without an audience
- It is important to have an inner motivation in the group to be able to motivate themselves at the same level as when we receive the incredible support here at Olympia. It is important that we are mentally prepared if this is so.
Helsingborg hopes to step up training on the football field next week. Until then, there will continue to be a lot of gym training for 35-year-old Granqvist.
- I feel very, very fresh and moody. It's good that I can work hard in the gym to strengthen it, as it will be a lot of matches late and not much rest.
