Sebastian Larsson: We have shown that we are flexible

Janne Andersson announced today that Sebastian Larsson will also be the team captain in the meeting with Slovakia, which makes it clear that the AIK midfielder will play from the start tomorrow.

It is speculated that the starting eleven may be redone when the opposition looks different and Dejan Kulusevski is now available after the corona infection.

But if there will be any other role than the one on the right wing for Larsson, he does not want to say anything about it.

- You will see when the starting eleven is released, there I will not leak anything, says Sebasitian Larsson to SVT Sport.

The Swedish players were quite happy after the premiere despite being played out.

One point was saved.

- It was a boost within the group and a nice feeling when you get to fight so hard and manage to get something with you.

But now it has been set aside and one point is not enough, we have to work towards new ones, says Larsson, who is aware that it can be tricky to change the style of play from one match to another.

- We expect a different match picture.

But we have shown many times that we are flexible and can handle different types of matches depending on what we have to do to get a result and it is the hope that we will be able to do it tomorrow as well, says Larsson.

- It will hopefully be a match where we have significantly more ball than we had against Spain.

Janne will change

- It will be exciting and they did a good result against Poland.

They have a couple of individually skilled players.

I think we have a pretty good view of them.

Of course, I hope we can get more out of our own game than we did against Spain.

Here I hope that we will have more ball and thus be able to use more of our offensive qualities.

Will you make tactical changes?

- Yes, yes, it is a completely different resistance.

Now I expect that we will have to build the game a little more ourselves that they will not go as high on us and then there are other tools that must come out of the toolbox.

Dare more and take more initiative on the opponent's half of the field.

I hope we can do that.

Kulusevski with heart rate monitor

Andersson points out how satisfied they were with 0-0 against Spain but that there is no reason to sit back.

- It is a strong, strong point we take with us, but we must also manage it in a good way now, says Janne Andersson about the importance of continuing to take points against Slovakia.

Whether there will be a game for Dejan Kulusevski or not, the national team captain can not say.

- We'll see. You have to step up after covid so he drove with a heart rate monitor today. The doctors keep track of that and then I'll see what they say. He is fine and was training, but we will see what they say, Andersson says.
