The threat against Sweden in the WC premiere: "He is very good"

On Thursday evening, Sweden steps into the world championship in handball.

They face Brazil and Swedish national team captain Glenn Solberg expects difficult opposition.

Not least from 28-year-old lineman Rogerio Moraes.

- A big and strong player, says Solberg.

"Can become dangerous"

Moraes - 204 centimeters tall - plays everyday in the German Bundesliga club Melsungen.

- A very good line player.

Brazil have several great players and can be dangerous.

Together with us, they are the best team in the group, says Solberg.

Sweden's group also includes Cape Verde and Uruguay.

The last time Sweden and Brazil met was in the 2016 Olympics. Then Sweden won 30–19.
