In an interview where Dennerby said, 'We know that Sweden is a strong team in Europe and everyone knows that its senior team has won a bronze medal in the World Cup this year. I am proud of the players of my team. We made some good chances of scoring goals. After creating a chance, we could not turn it into a goal in the last moments, we are working on it.'
