The conditions are hardly the best when the national team enters the Nations League meeting against Croatia on Saturday night.
- It is clear that it is not always easy for us and that we are affected by everything, says Emil Forsberg during Friday's press conference.
"We are affected by everything"
Just over a month has passed since the last 1-2 loss away to Croatia.
Still, it is with cautious optimism that goalkeeper Robin Olsen attaches importance to both looking and finding lessons in the past losses - four.
- We must become more careful, you will be punished more easily when you meet these nations, Olsen says.
"Applies to letting go of the shoulders"
The players speak plain text - Sweden needs to take points against Croatia.
And the offensive, Forsberg hopes will come of its own accord as soon as the compact, defensive game sits.
- It is important to let go of the shoulders and believe in oneself, so we can take home something nice, he says.
Whether they will be joined by Covid-infected defender Carl Starfelt remains to be seen, as he is isolated in his hotel room awaiting a new test result.
But Covid-infected Janne Andersson is already shining in her absence.
- We have not had any sausage with bread so far, so it shows, says Forsberg.
