“We are sad and have tears in our eyes.” This was said by the coach of the Swedish national team, Janne Andersson, in a press conference after the suspended match against Belgium, due to the terrorist attack in Brussels, where two Swedish fans were killed.
“In the first half we heard this unbelievable news. All the players did not want to continue,” he explained. “What kind of world do we live in? Even in Sweden there have been many victims of gun violence recently.”
According to reports in Belgian media, Brussels police on Tuesday morning neutralized the suspected attacker who yesterday killed two Swedish fans who had arrived in the Belgian capital to watch the match against the local national team.
After a shootout, the aggressor was taken to the hospital, where he is in intensive care, after receiving a bullet in the chest.
