– I probably won’t be traveling to Sweden for vacation now, Erling Braut Haaland told TV 2 after Norway’s 3-2 win against Sweden on Sunday night.

You can understand it well.

Haaland is not the most popular player in “söta bror” after knocking Sweden out almost alone for the second game in a row.

Now the mood is bad in Sweden, which has long been a proud football nation. In the last six months, they lost in the World Cup playoffs and got off to a bad start in the National League.

It does something for the mood.

– I’m cursed

Viaplay expert Bojan Djordjic, who has also been a guest on Norwegian TV several times, fell far behind after losing to Norway.

– I’m cursed that we lost two games in a row against a national team like Norway, he said in Sweden’s Viaplay studio after the game, according to Aftonbladet.

– The appearance of this national team meeting was not approved, added Djordjic in his broadcast.

He believes some of the reasons for Sweden’s difficulties are due to multiple injuries, which have received a lot of publicity.

Against Norway, defender Ludwig Augustinsson had to give up on the warm-up.

– I am waiting for the big evaluation in September, but the feeling is not good. I don’t see that we have to start achieving this with this new gaming system in such a short time, he believes.

Sweden can’t catch Norway in the group now. Solbakken’s men have 10 points with two games remaining, Sweden trailing by a poor three points after the first four games.

Sweden national team manager Janne Andersson had the better national team encounter.

– Norway is good, that is

After another defeat against Norway, Sweden’s third in four games in June, the Sweden boss opted to praise Norway for the opponents they met on Sunday.

– Norway has a proper and precise x-factor with Haaland, but also degaard and Sørloth. They have a number of players who are playing at a high level and leading there. They have an interesting team, and they have been recording this team for a year and a half now. They are good, that is. “This is a good football team,” Andersson told NRK after the game.

Andersson has led Sweden against Serbia and Norway, and one of those teams will be group winners.

But the Sweden boss will not evaluate the two teams against each other.

– This is just to congratulate Norway today, as they deservedly won, of course. But you can speculate for yourself about who wins the group, I’m not interested in that,” Andersson told NRK.

– You’ve met Erling Braut Haaland twice now. Have you ever been surprised by it?

– No, I have seen that he is a fantastic striker. Today we played with two midfielders who played at Allsvenskan and who didn’t play at the top level for many years. He’s probably used to playing against more experienced players. “At the same time, it is a lesson for our players to meet very skilled players, because you carry them with you until next time,” said the Swedish manager.

Andersson believes that Sweden’s decline was about lots and lots of talk about injury issues.

– I would never blame anything, but if you count the number of international games this team had, and how many minutes they played together before today… Maybe too many were inexperienced at the same time, and we were punished severely, Anderson said.

– We used to call them little brother

He had to endure harsh criticism in the Swedish media after the defeat against Norway.

Aftonbladet’s profiled writer, Erik Niva, believes the defeat shook the pride and identity of Swedish football.

– We used to call them little brother. Now we are falling heavily against a Norway that is bigger, worse and better, while we ourselves are trying to unite players into a national team that seems more and more fragile and crumbling with every game played, for every day that passes, he wrote in the comments after competition.

Niva was impressed by several players in Norway on Sunday, he wrote.

– Berge dominates the midfield, Sørloth attacks the new Gabriel Gudmundsson many times and Erling Braut Haaland is a predator who really only chooses which prey he should place his fangs on, says Aftonbladet’s profile.

Sweden Profile: – Life goes on

Tottenham’s Dejan Kulusevski, who was one of Sweden’s best players at Ullevaal, didn’t seem too accepting of the loss.

To NRK, he described the match as «ok».

– We lost, which isn’t great. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, life goes on. More of us have lost games than Norway won them. “They scored six of our mistakes,” Kulusevski said.

He only used one word to describe Erling Braut Haaland, and that was “fantastic”.

– Why can’t you stop it?

– We have to stop making mistakes, he answered simply.

– What do you think of Norway’s penalty kick?

– I asked Robin (Olsen) if it was a punishment, and he said it was a punishment, so it was a punishment, analyzing the profile of Sweden.

He also chose to describe the “National League as unimportant”.

Expressen commentator Noa Bachner believes the June collection has seen a major decline.

– Poor collection no matter how you look at it. Eight defeats in 13 games since Ukraine at the European Championships. The injury sabotages the point that the team should practice a new style of play, but the implementation is still lacking and the performance hasn’t given the impression of improvement. On the other hand. Tonight’s loss was the most troublesome, Bachner wrote on Expressen.

Solbakken: – Something happened

In the Norwegian camp, the atmosphere is much better. National team manager Ståle Solbakken also noticed that the atmosphere at Ullevaal was much better than usual on Sunday.

– It’s a bit about us being down. We haven’t played in the playoffs since I played, and that’s been a long time. This means that the audience may have some of the same feelings that we have. Something is going on, they have faith in the team here, Solbakken believes.

Erling Braut Haaland, who only posed for an interview with the licensee after the game, also believes that the tug-of-war in the Norwegian national team is stronger than in a long time.

– You saw it today. The positives we show on the pitch coincide with what happens in the stands. I feel there is something special here. We have won against Sweden away and Serbia away. We didn’t win against Slovenia at home, but we beat Sweden, so that’s good, the striker told TV 2.

Forsberg: – Norway is an ongoing team

Amid all the misery, the Swede also managed to praise Norway after the two neighbours’ duels.

– Norway is an ongoing team. They brought out good young players, and they now put out a good team. I think Norway is growing into a good national team. You have to respect that, and that’s good. “Unfortunately, they won two games against us, but I still think there are two very balanced teams,” Emil Forsberg told NRK.

There are now only two games left of the group matches in the National League. They play against Slovenia (away) and Serbia (home) 24 and 27 September.

After Serbia only managed 2-2 at home against Slovenia on Sunday night, Norway can secure a group win and promotion to level A in the National League is already their next game if Serbia give up points against Sweden.
