He saw double, he had to go to the hospital. Calzona was angry: I have never experienced such a thing before

STOCKHOLM. “This is something we have to improve on in the next games,” coach Francesco Calzona said at a press conference after the game.

It meant Swedish goals. Both fell in the early fifties. Thanks to them, the Northerners won in the crucial match for progression over Slokas 2:1.

They got a place in the B division of the League of Nations. Coach Calzona praised the incredible duel until the last moment. “The team played a very good game. He did well, which made me happy,” he said.

The Swedes preferred paper before the game. They proved it on the field. However, Slovakian football players gave a good performance.

Calzona: Swedes are probably among the best in the world

“Let’s not forget the strong opposition we played against,” said Calzona. “He has the fourteenth most valuable team in the world. The Swedish team has the potential to be among the top fifteen in the world,” he said.

The meeting with Sweden ended prematurely for a pair of players on the Slovakian side.

In the first half, striker Denis Vavro left the field on a stretcher. “He was hit in the head,” Calzona said.

Defendant slipped first on the unsuitable ground. As soon as he got up from the lawn, he was knocked down by the Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres.

He had never experienced anything like it in thirty years

“He has all the signs of a concussion,” explained the Italian coach. “He saw double, he was sick. He is going to the hospital.”

He was angered by the attitude of the match referees: “I am surprised that the four referees did not see this situation and did not stop the match. The player has been hit in the head, he is still lying down and the game continues.”

“It’s unbelievable to me. The game should be stopped. We didn’t lose because of the performance of the referees, but I will be crucial. I have not experienced anything like this in thirty years,” he admitted at a press conference.

At the beginning of the duel, Calzon did not like that the main referee was letting the fights go. He didn’t block the game, he let it flow.

They were surprised by the poor condition of the lawn

“It’s terrible to see a friend being carried away on a stretcher,” goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka admitted to journalists.
