Sweden visits Denmark tonight in an international training match that has been marked in advance by the great chaos that reigns in the Danish team. A total of 16 players, plus national team captain Kasper Hjulmand and assistant national team captain Morten Wieghorst, will miss the match at the Danish camp. In Sweden, the captain of the national team, Janne Andersson, also tested positive for covid-19. More then? Five Swedish players, who play in England and Scotland on a daily basis, are not included due to quarantine rules.
Many have asked the question: why should the game be played?
– It is not something that is absolutely necessary in these times, but as long as we can play the games that we have the commitment to do, we will. But it happens after a close and good dialogue with infection control experts, authorities and in this case also with the Danish Football Association, which is the organizer of this match, says the general secretary of the Swedish Football Federation Håkan Sjöstrand to C More.
When asked if there are other financial reasons besides financial ones, he answers:
– See you tonight, personally I think it is very interesting to see some new players who have the opportunity to show off. Of course, in this there are also economic reasons, precisely linked to the commitments we have.
How much money is it?
– It’s a lot of money, of course. But the prerequisite for us to be able to play the match is that it can be carried out in a controlled way. There is no industry or business that is more controlled than this, by those I know. From that perspective, we feel very safe. But if we are informed that this match cannot take place, we will of course follow it.
The match between Denmark and Sweden starts at 7.30pm and is broadcast on C More Football and TV12, but it is also broadcast live on cmore.se.
