An upset loss to Kosovo 0-1! Lindelof: The fans can boo if they like. We can actually play well.

The Swedish team lost 0-1 to Kosovo. Swedish defender Lindelof was interviewed after the game and responded to the boos of the home fans, his own "sarcastic" gestures, the team's performance and support for coach Thomasson.

How would you evaluate the team's performance against Kosovo?

I think we are trying to do the right thing. There were a few times in the game where we lost the ball in places we shouldn't have, and made some simple passes that we shouldn't have missed. In the second half, I thought we came out with a calm mentality, worked hard to create opportunities, and played well. It's just that the last decisive thing is missing.

The team is currently in a difficult situation in the qualifiers, and coach Thomason is also facing pressure. What do you think?

I trust him completely. We are in the qualifying round. Obviously there's a lot of criticism in our industry when things don't go well, and that's completely understandable. If you look at the squad we have and look at the fact that we only got one point, there will definitely be criticism.

After the game, the home fans booed the team and you gave them a thumbs up gesture. Can you talk about it?

That was more of a sarcastic "like" for some people. They can boo if they want. I've been through a lot. But accordingly, I can also react in my own way. People can do whatever they want. I gave it a thumbs up, what other people think is their business.

It seems uncommon for the Swedish national team to be booed by fans at home?

Yes, we have never been booed like this before. People are very demanding and they want us to perform well. If they want to boo, then they can. As for whether doing this will make the situation better, they have to ask themselves.
