Sweden have strongly denied media reports on Monday that suggested a rift within their camp ahead of their crucial Group B game against Paraguay on Thursday.
The Swedish media reported that a bust-up took place between skipper Olof Mellberg and midfielder Freddie Ljungberg in the dressing room after 10-man Trinidad and Tobago held them to a surprise scoreless draw on Saturday.
It was also alleged that coach Lars Lagerback and his assistant, Roland Andersson, disagreed over the timing of the substitutions during the game.
"There are no problems in our camp, none at all. It's just you guys trying to find something wrong," Lagerback told reporters on Monday.
Ljungberg confirmed that the players had a "discussion" after the game, but that it was "normal".
"We are very passionate and want Sweden to do our best. We didn't win and we just discussed how we can do better next time," the Arsenal player said.
"There was no fight and I have great respect for Olof. He is a great captain."
Mellberg and Ljungberg fought during a training session ahead of the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan after a rough tackle on Ljungberg by Mellberg.
