Finally time for the European Championship premiere and for Kosovare Asllani, the match against Denmark can become extraordinary. At playing time in Friday’s premiere match, the national team captain makes its 200th A-international match in Geneva.
Preparations for the European Championship premiere have been good and after a three-hour bus ride from Cham to Geneva it was first lunch and then expected training at Stade de Geneva. But before that, “Kosse” told about her thoughts before the third meeting with Denmark in a short time and how she feels about her international match 200.
– It’s incredibly big. There is nothing I planned for when I joined the national team, you never know how a career goes no matter how good you are. Because it is so much about choices you make. And that you have coaches who believe in one, says Asllani.
For the Swedish team captain awaits the fifth European Championships and this will be her eleventh championship. At playing time in the match against Denmark, Kosovare Asllani also becomes the third player in Swedish football history who reaches 200 international matches, in the company of Caroline Seger (240) and Therese Sjögran (214).
– It will be powerful!
The last Sweden was set against Denmark in Stockholm in early June, they ran over the neighboring country after victory with 6-1. But experienced “Kosse” does not pull it off it, but emphasizes that it will be a whole new match this time. She also has big dreams for the upcoming championship in Switzerland.
– What is missing is a gold medal. That’s the only thing missing.
Kick off Friday, July 4 at 6 pm. The match is broadcast on SVT2, SVT Play and Viaplay.
