Sweden is just two games away from securing a spot in the World Cup, and for captain Victor Lindelof, this represents the ultimate opportunity to participate in the competition. The central defender believes that his presence in the national team four years from now would be a bad sign for the future of Swedish football. In Valencia, ahead of the playoff match against Ukraine, which will take place in the Spanish city, the former Benfica player and coach Graham Potter spoke to the media. The player, who was part of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, sees this moment as crucial for his international career. "I've mentioned it a few times, I don't think I'll have the opportunity to play in another World Cup, so I'm very anxious for tomorrow's game and I hope we can perform well and win," said the defender, emphasizing that qualification would mean "everything" to him. Despite viewing this as his last World Cup, Lindelof did not set a date for the end of his national team career. "I haven't made any decisions. The World Cup is absolutely my last opportunity. If I'm still in the national team in four years, it will be a very bad sign and something won't be right in Swedish football," he explained. Remember that Sweden faces Ukraine this Thursday at 19:45. In the event of a victory, the Swedish team will compete for the final World Cup spot against the winner of the match between Poland and Albania.
