“"I feel like the body just wants to rest and it’s not really allowed to rest so much."”

“"I feel like we’ve inspired the next generation in Sweden, not only girls, but also boys."”

“"Every game is important"”

“"I do what feels best for me and not what is expected from me."”

“"We will go into every game with the biggest respect for our opponent and that’s what you need to do if you want to win."”

“"If we have more players spending time playing football without having to have a part-time job, the final product can only get better. "”

“"All of this matters because if we can give better resources to young girls, allow them to focus only on football and not on finding a job to live. A lot of players today still have jobs beside their careers because we are far from equal football."”

“"We need to keep investing. Make it more equal, with equal pay, equal prizes, equal pitches, equal staff…"”

“" It will only keep growing as long as people will invest in it. The more girls can train, have a career in football and make a living out of it, the better the sport will develop."”

“"For me, football has no gender and we need to keep investing in women’s football to allow it to grow."”

“"It’s all about having people that believe in the product and that includes us. "”
