On Tuesday, the back star received the Diamond Ball as Sweden's best football player on the women's side.
How does she feel three days later?
Still joy and pride, but:
- It's quite nice that all the commotion is over.
I may not be very comfortable with getting individual prices or being at the center.
It was the first time I won an individual prize, so now I have felt it, but I think it's more fun to win with the team, says Eriksson.
During the year, she has been involved in playing Sweden for the European Championships and led Chelsea to the league title in England.
Despite that, she was not among the nominations for the world's best player that Fifa released on Wednesday, something that made the national team captain Peter Gerhardsson react.
Magdalena Eriksson herself does not care much.
- It's not something I've been thinking about.
I'm very happy that Peter thinks as he thinks, but such lists are very subjective and often in the offensive players' favor.
It is beyond one's control so there is absolutely nothing you attach any greater importance to, she says.
Playing the European Championships in England in 2022 - the country where she lives and works - will be something extra.
- I'm really looking forward to it.
A European Championship in England can be incredibly good.
I really believe in this team, I hope we can continue to build on what we did in the World Cup.
We can reach any distance if we just decide for it and do it together, says Eriksson.
But first, an insignificant European Championship qualifier away against Slovakia awaits on Tuesday.
Another opportunity to play the team together, says Eriksson.
- It is about continuing to raise the bar for yourself and the team you play for all the time and continue to develop.
That is why the Slovakia match is very important to us.
Not to take it for granted or believe that there will be a walk over, but to continue to constantly want to develop.
