It did not look good last night in the must-win match against the Czech Republic, where the opponent was a ball on the leg from getting a chance in the closing seconds.
If it had become a Czech destination there, Sweden would already have had to pack its bags.
- It has failed quite a lot.
It is not possible to recognize the Sweden I have seen in recent years.
The defensive game was not aggressive enough and we did not have a good goalkeeper game.
We only had three saves yesterday and it is an achievement to manage a cross then.
I miss the pressure in the attacking game and the edges have disappeared.
It has become too passive, says Grahn about the match yesterday mixed with reflections from the loss against Spain.
Grateful to avoid Denmark and France
- Even though Sweden has made less good efforts against Spain and the Czech Republic, there are opportunities to reach the semifinals from the main round, says Grahn and is grateful that Denmark and France are in the second group.
Do you still believe in a medal or what can we expect from Sweden?
- Sweden is like a computer that has hung itself.
You feel like you want to restart everything because I know there are resources in this team, as they have shown before.
I do not change my tip but think that Sweden will make it to the semifinals and play for the medals.
The next must-have match is already on Thursday against Russia.
Russia on Thursday is the most uncertain of the matches in the main round.
Russia is no longer stereotypical but has become a modern handball team, Grahn analyzes.
