After ten Allsvenskan goals, Pauline Hammarlund is on track to lead Kopparbergs / Göteborg FC to Swedish Championship gold. Will he also get a chance to lead Sweden to the European Championship in England in 2022?
With two goals and torn ahead of Latvia, she made the team selection ahead of Tuesday’s game against Iceland, which will likely decide Euro qualifying group F, even more interesting.
– Pauline has always taken into account this type of resistance. You want that kind of player, good in the head and ruthless in the area, said Peter Gerhardsson.
Does she also fit well against Iceland?
“We’ll see then,” said the captain of the national team without developing the reasoning further.
The southern Stockholm striker himself, who ended up in Gothenburg through Tyresö, Linköping and Piteå, is enjoying being back after several years of injury.
– I’ve finally had a full season without injury issues and I’m starting to get back to the way I was, said Hammarlund, who nodded at 5-0 after a corner kick just before the break and 6-0 at the second half after Anna Anvegård’s pass.
The Swedish attacking duo were fast and mobile, even though the rival in the name of honesty was one of the weakest the national team faced.
– In this I am involved, said Hammarlund, who expects a completely different opposition to Iceland.
Even Olivia Schough He made his first match from the start in a long time and showed that his own training has served him well. Djurgårdaren told of the scarce resources in the club’s team and that he has hired his own physical trainer in order to regain his place in the national team.
At times he has doubted that he would be successful.
– I decided last season that I just have to improve. I’ve gotten stronger, faster, and built faith in myself, Schough said.
It was an obedient victory against Latvia, giving some who had been duped and some newcomers a chance to shine.
Göteborg FC’s Filippa Curmark replaced team captain Caroline Seger in the second half and had to score on her national team debut. Perhaps she will be the one to eventually carry the mantle of the veteran on the national team.
– Great feeling of debuting and also scoring a goal. It must be something you dreamed of, said Curmark, who volleyed into the net after a corner return.
Peter Gerhardsson was impressed.
– Filippa has done a very good training and has shown that she wants to compete at this level, said the captain of the team.
