The day after Dejan Kulusevski was confirmed infected with covid-19, and Mattias Svanberg was forced to leave in the middle of Sweden's training, national team captain Janne Andersson wanted to open the press conference by telling how satisfied he was with the morning.
- We had a theory review in a different way than we usually have, in smaller groups in a very large room.
(Peter) Wettergren (assistant league captain) had to pull the plug twice, and did so with the same enthusiasm and empathy as always.
Both times.
And a commitment to the player group that was great fun in the discussions that arose in connection with this.
So, a good day at work as a football coach, says national team captain Janne Andersson.
Yesterday, which contained the covid falls, was worse for Janne Andersson.
- Yesterday I thought about football for the first time at midnight.
I had a hard day.
I have been a leader for many years, the worst thing I have experienced is dealing with a death at a training camp in a hotel, one of the leadership staff died quickly in the evening.
When people die - it tops this off.
But otherwise it's probably the hardest day of my life as a leader yesterday.
These are things that I do not have enough knowledge about and even those who have knowledge about it do not know one hundred percent either.
If you do not have control over things, it will be very difficult, says the league captain.
