SVT profile: "They must have resolved the situation"

The national team captain Jon Dahl Tomasson and midfielder Hugo Larsson must reasonably have talked to each other and resolved the conflict they had at the national team's last gathering. That's what SVT's football expert Daniel Nannskog believes. Anything else would be stupid. It just can't happen. They must have straightened out the situation, he says.

The former elite player and national team player only sees losers in the controversy. He criticizes both parties, but also shows understanding for both Tomasson's and Larsson's actions.

I'm a bit for handling things internally. If you say what Jon Dahl does and it gets out to the whole Swedish people, it becomes about sitting and watching extremely closely if he (Larsson) plays that sideways ball or plays forward.

It puts a damn pressure on you to maybe have to hit those straight balls all the time.

It's enough to go out in the media and say that Hugo needs to work on certain things they've talked about, and maybe not say exactly what it is, even though we in the media love it when he's clear, says Nannskog.

"Should be able to tolerate"

But it's rarely just one person's fault when two argue.

Somewhere I can also think that as a player, you should be able to tolerate that.

Are you surprised by how outspoken Larsson was?

Somewhere you can appreciate the cockiness. He thinks he's good, that he should play. You have to appreciate that.

Do you think the injury was the only reason he left the gathering?

Now it's just speculation, but you wonder if he had gotten tired and received signals that he wouldn't start against Estonia. Somewhere it might have broken for him.

Who has taken the most damage, "JDT" or Larsson?

For Tomasson, it's a stain on his leadership of the national team, that he can't get everyone to pull in the same direction. For Larsson, it's that he gets the reputation of only looking out for himself. No one comes out as a winner.

Larsson is too interesting not to be included. Therefore, I hope for a solution. But it can't be on the condition that he has to play. That's not how it works, neither in a club nor the national team.

"Extremely exciting"

Do you think Larsson will be in the squad against Slovakia and Estonia?

It's going to be extremely interesting to see. Extremely exciting. It all depends on whether they've had a talk. It feels strange if they haven't. It just can't happen.

Tomasson releases the squad on Wednesday.

Then we'll get the answer if the talk has gone well or if it's gone badly. If Larsson is included, they've probably smoked the old peace pipe, says Daniel Nannskog.
