– It’s really special. We’ve met each other in the Nations League twice already, that’s one thing. But a European Championship is kind of… There’s a bit more at stake, it’s a bit bigger. It’s not an optimal situation, Sweden’s Magdalena Eriksson told NRK before the match against Denmark.

On the opposite side of the field in their first European Championship match on Friday night was their partner Pernille Harder. However, there were no duels between the two, as Eriksson remained on the bench for the entire match.

COMPETITIVE SAMBOERS: Magdalena Eriksson and Pernille Harder had a chat out on the grass after the European Championship meeting.

Sweden’s Filippa Angeldahl scored the only goal of the game ten minutes into the second half, giving the yellow and blue team a good start to the championship.

– It’s simply fair, there’s a fairly massive sustained pressure from Sweden. The Danes can’t resist it, and the Swedes are deservedly leading, commented NRK’s football expert Bengt Eriksen.

After eight minutes of play, VAR was used to see if Denmark should be awarded a penalty kick, but after the referee himself took a look at the situation, a free kick was awarded the other way instead.

Denmark’s Harder was just off the mark when she fired home after 81 minutes, but it was only a near miss for the captain.

NEAR: Pernille Harder shot into the crossbar.

– Just want it done

Then they are no longer friends, then they are bitter enemies who both want to achieve success for their own country in this summer’s championship.

– We didn’t want to be in the same group. But when we’re on the field, it’s probably like a normal game. It’s mostly what happens before kick-off that’s a little different. But when we go out on the field there, we’re two players who just want to win, and want to win for our country. In a way, I just want that game to be over, she says.

– It was easy in the World Cup when Denmark wasn’t there. But maybe if we don’t advance, and Sweden gets to the final. But I won’t do it if it’s a quarter-final or semi-final, she says in the interview with Aftonbladet.

– I’m not talking about our tactics, and she’s not talking about their tactics, but we know each other pretty well, and so do the countries. It’s hard for our families – they get really nervous about us playing each other, they want the best for both of us. That’s the hard part. You want the best for each other, but not at that moment, says Harder.

HUGE: Mead embraces Miedema after a victory with Arsenal, for whom they both play.

Mead and Miedema also reacted with disappointment when the European Championship draw was announced.

– It was inevitable. When the draw was made, we both sat there and said, “Of course it had to happen,” says Mead, according to the BBC.

Nor do the two talk tactics when the match approaches.

– We keep in touch, but when it comes to our games, we don’t talk about football at all. Obviously we want the other person to do well, but not against each other.

– Not sharing everything

Magdalena Eriksson tells NRK that she and Pernille Harder are very aware of what they are talking about before meeting each other on the pitch in a very important European Championship match.
