Belgium Women head coach Ives Serneels believes that Sweden Women head coach Peter Gerhardsson could be nervous ahead of their quarter-final at Euro 2022. Gerhardsson has been reluctant to talk to the press to avoid giving out any information that will help his side lose any advantage. The winner of the game will set a date with England in the semi-finals after their win over Spain. Sweden is the highest ranked team in the competition but has been hit with Covid absentees.
“For me not the point. It is his idea to say what he wants, but I know what we are going to do tomorrow and that is the most important,” Belgium Women head coach Ives Serneels said about his compatriot, Sweden head coach Peter Gerhardsson. “I don’t know the information, I’m not afraid of information going to the other side. It is football. It is a quarter-final of the European Championship. Maybe it shows a bit of nervousness of the other side. For me, I don’t see any problem.”
We are going to try to be ready from the first minute. Sweden has very good physical aspects in their game, so we will try to have a good plan,” he added. “They played a good first round and every girl in that team has strong individual qualities.”
“You can talk about a national team, you can talk about a league (club) team. The more days you have together the more you get like a league team,” Sweden Women head coach Peter Gerhardsson said. Belgium, of the four teams we have met so far, I think is the most like a league team. They are the best organized both in defense and offense. They look like a league team with quality players.”
