Sverige-debutant ble rundingsbøye for Bobb: – Ikke bra nok
Eric Smith (29) kunne knapt fått en verre debut for Sveriges A-landslag. Han ble byttet av i pausen mot Norge etter en marerittomgang.
Da sto det 3-0 til Norge etter en første omgang der vertene hadde dominert kraftig i VM-oppkjøringskampen. Smith ble – i en uvant rolle som venstre midtstopper i en trebackslinje – kjørt kraftig av særlig den norske høyrevingen Oscar Bobb.
– Det var ikke en drømmedebut på noe vis. Vi vet alle at det ikke var bra nok. Jeg vet at det ikke var bra nok, sa Smith til svensk presse etter kampen.
St. Pauli-proffen har gang på gang måttet melde forfall til landslaget på grunn av skader. Derfor kom debuten først mandag for den VM-uttatte forsvarsspilleren.
– Jeg er bare veldig takknemlig over å få debuten. Og så er det opp til meg å løse oppgaven jeg blir tildelt. Og det klarte jeg ikke i dag, sa han etter 1-3-tapet på Ullevaal stadion.
Foruten Tunisia skal Sverige møte Nederland og Japan i VM-gruppespillet.
