Sweden not surprised by Japan's flawless World Cup display

Zecira Musovic, Sofia Jakobsson, and Jonna Andersson discuss facing the team of the tournament in Japan.

Transcript

00:00 I wouldn't say surprised but more like impressed. I think they have a really good balance between having a

00:05 good defense and then have a very creative but still disciplined offensive

00:11 play. So I think they have managed to change their

00:16 game plan

00:19 looking at the opponent. So I think they're a well-prepared team. You can see that they have been working

00:24 with their stuff for a very long time and

00:27 it will be a tough challenge for sure. Yeah, obviously two totally different teams.

00:32 US, we know it's always tough games between us. It's never a lot of goal scoring.

00:38 So

00:41 yeah, that was one game. But I think

00:43 against Japan, they have looked really good and playing like they always do. It looks easy and the game is

00:50 floating kind of.

00:53 Yeah, but I think with our physicality and our pace, I think we can

00:58 counter attack against them and hopefully create chances.

01:02 Yeah, hopefully we can have a lot of the ball, but we need to prepare that maybe we have to defend a lot

01:08 like we did against the US. So we need to be solid defensively, but also try to

01:14 relax and be calm when we have the ball and try to push them down to create situations.
