Felicia Schröder has not scored a goal for the Swedish national team, though she assisted Monica Jusu Bah's first national team goal. She is expected to be sold in the summer, with her club Häcken aiming for a record transfer fee that could make her the most expensive transfer in women's football history. Schröder scored 30 goals in the Allsvenskan last season and has previously scored three goals in the Champions League and four in the Europa Cup.
She has been a regular starter for the national team since Tony Gustavsson took over as coach, and had her best national team match so far against Denmark. Sweden will play Serbia in a crucial World Cup qualifier on Saturday. In that match against Denmark, Stina Blackstenius and Rebecka Blomqvist also did not score.
It's frustrating.
According to Sportbladet, Felicia Schröder described her goal drought as frustrating, saying she wants to contribute more with points and goals. According to Sportbladet, Monica Jusu Bah described Schröder's goal as likely coming soon, noting she got into positions. According to Sportbladet, Tony Gustavsson described Schröder as needing patience and emphasized she will continue to be an important player.
Schröder is 19 years old and a teammate of Monica Jusu Bah at Häcken.
I think it's about us needing to be more precise when we enter the final third. Put the ball in the goal.
Of course I want to score my first goal. It would have been nice to do it at home too. It's a frustration, I feel like I want more. I want to be out there contributing with points and goals.
Really fun, I'm just happy that she gets to score her debut goal. She really deserves it. Fun that I get to be on the field with her.
The goal will come. She got into positions. My time was today, hers might come in the next match.
Maybe an assist in the next match?
It's just about patience so that it doesn't get mentally locked for her. She will continue to play and be an important player for us for a long time to come.
The goals will come. She is so good. You saw that now, you saw that against Serbia where she was our best player. If you had seen all our trainings this week you would have seen that she has consistently been our best player.
That's how football is, you lose and you learn from it. You become even stronger mentally when you lose and learn from it. For me, it's just to continue and do my best. I want to show what I can do.
I would say Monica (Jusu Bah). I talk a lot with her. We are there for each other and have each other.
