Women’s football team goalless in Sweden: record player Crnogorcevic irritated by new role

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

The Swiss Nations League match against Sweden does not change the brutal facts. Even against the number 1 in the world, no goal is scored. Coach Inka Grings’ team has been waiting for an own goal for nine hours and 26 minutes.

Grings after the setback in Sweden: “We are just frustrated at the moment.” The Swiss have improved considerably compared to the last matches.

This time the national team plays cheerfully in Gothenburg, at least in the first half against the third place in the World Cup. Even has an extra chance. The best chance: When Smilla Vallotto (19) hits the crossbar with a deflected shot.

Talents Vallotto and Pilgrim with a refreshing appearance

Grings: “That was really bitter, a goal would have been well deserved.” The Germans are trying to use a more offensive stance against their world-class opponents. The talented Vallotto and Alayah Pilgrim (20) get a chance in attack. And use them. There is special praise from Grings. “Smilla and Alayah played a damn good match. There were a number of encouraging activities that gave us encouragement for the future and also for the European Championships at home.”

However, who no longer has space in the offensive is record scorer and player Ana Maria Crnogorcevic (33). She is in the starting line-up for the comeback after she was not nominated at the start of the Nations League – but as a right back. In the SRF interview after the final whistle, Crnogorcevic cannot really hide that she is moderately enthusiastic about it.

Crnogorcevic has to go back to right back

But under Martina Voss-Tecklenburg, she almost always played right back between 2015 and 2019, including the 2017 European Championship. Gothenburg shows why: Crnogorcevic also dominates this position. Grings: «We tried it during training. And Ana did a very solid and good job.”

There are some bright spots. But there are no points in Gothenburg either. Despite Meriame Terchoun’s 28th birthday, the atmosphere in the evening at the Nati Hotel may not be exactly exuberant.

Rinast sings “Happy Birthday” to Terchoun

Terchoun gets a birthday serenade when she passes by. Live on SRF, where commentator Calvin Stettler asks expert Rachel Rinast: “Are you singing her birthday song?” Rinast immediately starts singing “Happy Birthday to you” before breaking off and saying, “No, otherwise it’ll be back tomorrow… Well, it’s no problem, just write it down. It’s something fun!” But please.

The background? Ex-Nati player Rinast, who has been singing professionally for years in various projects, already sang live during the international match against Morocco. Which of course Blick reported.
