It is never 50-50 between two players. It is always at least 51-49. You reason your way to it.

So then you are sure?

Yes, or.. in some cases maybe you have 80-20 and then it is easier. But sometimes maybe you end up in 51-49. It is not like you draw lots.

The national team captain also means that he will not regret any choices – regardless of outcome.

One cannot regret things. Then if it becomes bad decisions you have to accept it. I do not believe in the word hindsight. You do not feel good if you are going to go around and think like that.

Gerhardsson did not inform the players who did not get selected before the squad was announced and now has a few tough phone calls ahead of him.

One never gets used to these calls. It is actually always just as tough. But it is good for the players and me. You should take the calls, but it is always tough to give negative messages to people who work so hard.
