The Swedish national football team is home after the Olympic silver in Tokyo.

The journey has been long and the players have barely slept after the heavy loss against Canada in yesterday's final.

- It has been 24 eventful hours.

I probably feel the same as yesterday with a few hours distance, it's still bitter and you get angry.

"People say we should be happy"

Asllani finds it difficult to be satisfied and happy about the feat, which she believes many believe the national team should be.

- With more distance, we will be.

When you are such a winner, you always want the gold, it still takes time to process it.

The Olympic trip ended with a nervous penalty decision, where Canada pulled the longest straw.

- It's like everyone punishes, it's a lottery.

It is the same for everyone and it is just a matter of taking responsibility and punishing their country.

Positive for the future

She praises the team and says that the group is incredibly strong.

At the same time, she emphasizes that faith in the team has been the key to success.

The national team, with more foreign professionals and a larger national team routine, faces a bright future, according to the star

- Next year we have the European Championships in England and you can not say otherwise are most likely gold favorites.

Then there are many national teams that are at the top.

- It will be tough but we aim for gold.

Now a week and a half of waiting for Asllani awaits before she will reunite with her club team, Real Madrid.

- It will be very much needed.
