When Erik Hamrén at noon announced the Swedish starting line-up for tonight’s European Championship qualifier drama here in Chisinau against Moldova so it was expected after the recent injury troubles.

Substitute for vicar

At first regular center-back, FCK: s Mikael Antonsson damaged, then had to substitute Pontus Jansson throw in the towel and now Malmo FF’s Erik Johansson jump in as the substitute’s substitute beside Andreas Granqvist.

Malmo FF center-back has made a rocket career on the field the last year. A year ago, he was not even given in Malmo FF.

– Then we had extremely good central defenders in the MFF with Pontus (Jansson) and Filip (Helander) which is included here now too. It is an unlikely desired. I’ve played a lot of midfielders over the years. Central defender I’ve really only been playing seriously in the last three years, says Johansson.

Incredible Tale

Kiese Thelin plays pleased Zlatan. Earlier this week, Ibrahimovic:

– I am sympathetic to play with him. He’s strong and work hard in the close control, then I can save power for what I am better at. If I do not have to put as much energy into duels, it will resolve itself.

Now Kiese Thelin, who just over a year ago were not considered to have any future in IFK Norrkoping, helping to keep the EM dream at life for Sweden.

Opens surfaces

– I’m quite variable, can open space for others. It will be much coverage on Zlatan. If I get to play maybe I can run a little bit and open for him, said Kiese Thelin earlier this week.

– There will probably be fine. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a fantastic player. It’s always fun to play with such great players.

Even on the few remaining places in the starting line where there has been a question mark, it will be the anticipated elections.
