Pierre Bengtsson poked: "Great surprise"

Today, the national team captain Janne Andersson took the squad to this summer's European Championships, which starts on 11 June.

But left-back Pierre Bengtsson, who has been given in the national team, was poked in favor of Martin Olsson.

- Pierre and Martin Olsson compete for the same place and I think they are very even.

What weighed in for Martin is that he can play in slightly different roles in the team.

Somewhere there was perhaps the little that trumped over in Martin's favor.

It was very hard and it hurt me, Janne Andersson motivated at the press conference.

Bengtsson, who received the message last night, was disappointed with the decision.

- The message came as a big surprise because I have been all the way in the qualifiers and the Nations League as number one and two in the position.

Now after the last gathering in March, I have had a very strong spring in Denmark, he writes in a text message to SVT Sport.
