STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden captain Victor Lindelof said his side were aiming to be a lot more positive when they meet Spain in their Group B World Cup qualifier after an ultra-defensive performance in June got them a scoreless draw at Euro 2020.

The Swedes won their Euro group over the Spaniards but they were criticised by some in the Spain camp following a dour display that did not win them any new fans. Lindelof, though, was not bothered.
