22-year-old Aiham Ousou made his debut for the Swedish A national team on Saturday.
The centre-back was substituted in the 2-0 win against Algeria.
- I am very happy and take this home with me and celebrate with the family.
For me, it was just a matter of resetting and going out and doing the job.
There are so many emotions, you have to repress some to be able to focus on the match, he tells SVT Sport.
How do you feel about joining and competing for a starting spot?
- As a footballer, you have to take advantage of every chance you get.
Like today, I felt that I did quite well and it is also a receipt for myself and for Janne that I can play here.
You were quite calm in your game today, tell me?
- I am a fairly calm person, but still quite connected.
I try to help the team and keep a cool head.
