Head coach of Sweden Janne Andersson commented on the victory of his team over Italy in the first playoff knockout for entering the World Cup 2018.

On the eve of the Swedes in the home arena beat the Italians with a minimum score of 1: 0.

There was a lot of struggle, and we won the majority of martial arts, but the judge did not support us ".

"In the second leg, you need to do the same amount of work as today. Victory inspired us. Now it is necessary to recover and think about proper nutrition, in order to approach the return fight in a good physical state ".

"We are waiting for another 90 minutes," concluded Janne.
