When Sundhage presented his national team squad this week, it was only with players from the Brazilian league.

Of course a limitation, but she also sees it as an opportunity for new young players to take on.

- The team has several young players who have not been in the national team before.

Neither Formiga, Marta or Debinha are involved.

What is so good is that I have been asked that question only once: Where are the new players?

And it will be very exciting to see where it goes.

Sundhage says that the corona pandemic hit her team in a tragic way.

- Some have been hit very, very hard.

There is someone who has lost their parents and it is clear that it means an emotional roller coaster, she says.

Sportspegeln has visited Sundhage in her own neighborhood in her hometown of Rio de Janeiro.

It was a meeting with conversations about coronavirus, the generational change in Brazilian football and Pia's life in her new home country Brazil.
