Larsson: We must have an open dialogue about the starting eleven for the World Cup opener against Tunisia

The process of shaping the starting eleven for the World Cup opener against Tunisia is ongoing. "Graham has an idea, without it being nailed down in any way," says assistant national team captain Sebastian Larsson.

The former national team star is involved when a starting eleven is picked at the camp in Dallas.

With a week left until the match, a lot can happen. It's important not to get stuck, he says.

Larsson points out that coach Potter wants to hear other people's opinions.

We talk very openly. When he makes his decision, that's what counts. Then we support it one hundred percent.

Have you and Potter had different opinions?

It can happen. That's the way it has to be. In my opinion, the rest of us wouldn't be doing our jobs if we just sat around and agreed.

He wants us to be honest. It's good if we are united in the end, but we have to have an open dialogue. Otherwise, what's the point of having leaders around him?
