The Swedish women's national football team is gathered in Båstad and charging for the European Football Championship in England.
After the Olympic silver in Tokyo, expectations of the national team have risen, and the national team captain believes that they have a good chance in the European Championships as well
- I never talk about performance targets.
It's not worth anything.
The feeling is that we can go very far.
If we have done it during the World Cup and the Olympics, we can go all the way to a European Championship gold.
But then we have to do everything flawlessly and perfectly, says Peter Gerhardsson to SVT Sport.
"You have to perform first to be a favorite and we have done that now"
The league captain is happy with high expectations of the team.
- I have not liked being an underdog, then you have not done anything.
But you have to perform first to be a favorite and we have done that now.
Then it will be a nice feeling.
- We represent Sweden and have the chance and feel that we can go all the way.
Then it is fantastic to be a Swedish supporter.
I sit myself and watch Duplantis and Ståhl in athletics and when you feel that Sweden can win, it feels fantastic.
We want the Swedish people to feel this.
The idea of European Championship gold is there, but I have great respect for all matches and training, he says.
