Reaction after Sweden beat Denmark 2-1 in the first leg of the sides' Euro 2016 play-off on Saturday (14th November).

SOUNDBITE: (English) Erik Hamren, Sweden head coach (on not wanting to substitute Zlatan Ibrahimovic):

"Yes, of course. I didn't want to change if I could avoid it, because he's important when we win the ball. You saw that even when he was really tired, he made some problems for them. But he's also important for all of those set pieces, as he's so strong in the air. So, of course, I wanted to have him on the pitch.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Erik Hamren, Sweden head coach (looking ahead to second leg):

"No, we won the first game and we know it's only half-time, as you say. We have two more 45 minutes, and it's going to be exciting on Tuesday."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Morten Olsen, Denmark head coach (on the second leg):

"You have to be confident. I think that we have the players to decide in Copenhagen. It will be a different game and we will try to find the way we want to play football. How we started the game was okay. But it always depend on your opponent, of course."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Morten Olsen, Denmark head coach (on conceding two goals):

"No, I was not surprised, Sweden are a good team. A team with a lot of good individuals, but also a good collective team, so we were not surprised."
