On Wednesday, the European Championships started and now it's time for Sweden to enter the tournament.
In the premiere, they face the reigning champion Netherlands.
SVT Sports expert Markus Johannesson thinks it will be a tough match.
- My opinion is that the general picture is that Sweden should go through the group without problems.
I can like it, but it is a really good football team that Sweden meets.
We know this since the European Championships 2017 (then European Championship champions) and the World Cup 2019 (silver medalist) at the latest.
- It will take intensity and a lot of physique to win the championship.
If we look at Germany's effort against Denmark yesterday, it is a real pace and many maximum runs.
Will Sweden be able to stand up to such nations?
Blue and yellow have not met that type of opposition before the championship, and the other top nations have done so to pick up the pace.
Is Sweden ready?
Maybe they are, we'll see.
"Hard to keep track of"
He lifts two players in the Netherlands.
- Of course the striker Vivianne Miedema who is a key player in the offensive.
She is difficult to keep track of, especially in the offensive penalty area.
She is skilled and big and strong.
Another is Lieke Martens.
It remains to be seen with her as she did not play that much in the club team (then in Barcelona) last season and she has honestly not looked great.
But it is a player who can really shine during the European Championships.
And in the Swedish starting eleven, Johannesson hopes to see a certain player.
- It is difficult to get away from Johanna Rytting Kaneryd.
If she can perform at the level she has done for a long period, it is difficult to bench her.
I think she should play.
If you have a player who is so fit for form, she should play.
She should get the chance and the trust.
How it goes?
- Sweden has an enormous amount of backwardness and a good basic game.
Defensively, it will hold up well.
I think it will be a cross.
