On Saturday, Sweden lost in the second group game against Spain.
To advance to the intermediate round, the team then needs a victory in the last group game against the Czech Republic.
And it is a revenge-hungry Sweden that comes into play tonight.
- We believe in ourselves and our players and our team.
So I hope and believe that we will win.
We are many who want revenge and we have the potential for that so we will give everything, says national team captain Glenn Solberg.
The Czech Republic, just like Sweden, has a victory so far in the group stage.
It came against Bosnia and Solberg believes in a tough match for the Swedish team.
- It is a physical team that fights and fights in its defense and is good in the second phase.
It is important that we are prepared there.
They have good right nines and a good goalkeeper so it will be a tough and exciting match.
Despite the loss, the Swedish national team views its chances of reaching far in the tournament positively.
- In the European Championships, anything can happen, everyone can beat everyone, the best thing would have been to win, But now we are going to beat the Czech Republic so we have good opportunities in the intermediate round so it is not over yet.
Do not try to think about the risk of infection
Before the match against Spain, Sweden lost a key player Max Darj, who did a positive covid test.
Darj will be able to be back in play on Thursday at the earliest in the first match in the intermediate round.
And today it was announced that Daniel Pettersson also tested positive.
- I try not to think about it, even though we test ourselves every day.
And we see that there will be more cases in other teams as well.
But I do not want to think so much about it but I am prepared for it to come.
