– How do you feel about the fact that people are happy that you won the so-called dream lottery?
– I absolutely believe that Ukraine and Denmark were the two easiest teams I had to play against. I think that it would be difficult to play away from home against Italy and Turkey. Ukraine? This is a good team.
– How did it feel to be Swedish but neutral in the draw?
– I was neutral, but, of course, I supported Sweden. It was completely normal.
