Aston Villa goalkeeper Olsen furious: Really f***ing embarrassing

Aston Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen slammed Sweden after their dismal Euro qualifying defeat to Azerbaijan.

Janne Andersson will leave the Sweden job at the end of the campaign after missing Euros qualification.

Olsen said after the 3-0 defeat in Baku: "Really f***ing embarrassing."

Olsen admits he expressed his frustration and anger inside the locker room.

"I was angry. But what happened can stay in there.

"Believe me, I said something, but we keep it in there. We should be ashamed. I am ashamed. At the same time, it hurts like hell to stand here with a result like this. We do have one match left, but we wanted to give Janne a good finish with two victories. That it then looks like this... Not a single player is happy.

On Sunday, the last qualifying match will be played at home against Estonia.

"It is nothing other than that it must be a revenge against ourselves. Give Janne the best possible ending. I will make sure this never happens again."
