Trainer’s initiative on Hamréns tactics: “In Norway” – Aftonbladet

Erik Hamrén talked about offensive football.

But according Ståle Solbakken has coach let all – to become the predecessor Lars Lagerback.

– it was much more Lagerback than perhaps many would like to admit, says Solbakken in the pod Lundh.

Lars Lagerback had often criticized because he played too defensive football with the Swedish national team.

When instead Erik Hamrén was presented as the new Swedish national coach in November 2009 was one of his first promises that “the national team will play with an offensive orientation.”

“More Lagerback than you want to admit”

But according to FC Copenhagen coach Ståle Solbakken has Hamrén backed down completely.

instead, he believes that Hamréns tactics for the national team in recent matches rather gone against the predecessor Lars Lagerback used.

– If you look at Sweden’s two best internationals in the last two-three years, I would say that they played pretty much like Norway. They played simple, they got Zlatan Ibrahimovic to act first defender, they tried to play a purely zonförsvar and they beat Denmark in over two matches. It was much more Lagerback than perhaps many would recognize in Sweden last two internationals, said Solbakken podcast Lundh.

Sweden plays “Drillo-football”

Solbakken think that the Swedish National team went back to a simpler and more direct football and not as aggressive as promised.

instead, remind Hamréns “new” tactics of “Drillo-football” – long balls up to the strikers.

– Both Lagerback and Drillo want to play pretty straight and simple offensively. The main difference was that Drillo fielded 4-1-4-1 while Lagerback used to run 4-4-2 with Linderoth as defensive center along a more attacking midfielder and two edges that worked hard, says Solbakken.
