When the Swedish starting line-up for tonight’s European Championship qualifier against Liechtenstein presented at lunchtime there was a skrällfri lineup.

It is the same eleven that Sportbladet reported from Wednesday’s closed training at Stockholm Stadium.

Seb Larsson poked

Andreas Isaksson standing in goal with a back line consisting of Mikael Lustig, Andreas Granqvist, Mikael Antonsson and Martin Olsson.

This means that Sebastian Larsson, who started at right-back in the 1-4 defeat to Austria, poked in favor of Lustig.

– It is as it is. I think I’ll play, but we’ll see what Erik choose, said Larsson yesterday.

In midfield player Jimmy Durmaz, Albin Ekdal, Kim Kallstrom and Erkan Zengin. There is only change that Durmaz takes injured Emil Forsberg’s location on one edge.

At the front play Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcus Berg.

No U21 players

This also means that none of this summer’s European Champion from U21 takes place in the starting line-up.

– You ask me how old a player is, I have difficulty answering it. It is not crucial for me, it’s how you perform. It’s not about the man called U21 nd or something else. The ones I think are the best get to play, said Erik Hamrén earlier in the week.

A review Sportbladet show that Hamrén is the coach in the 2000s that gave expectant U21 champion second least playing time in his A -landslag after won the U21 European Championships.

– With patience, all the. We have Isaac (Kiese Thelin), Abbeville (Khalili) and Oscar (Lewicki) here now. They just need a little playtime and feel of the situation and grow into the role, says Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

On paper Liechtenstein an easy opponent for Sweden. Blue and yellow have not dropped points against a blueberry nation then 1-1 away to Luxembourg in European Championship qualifiers in 1979. Since then, Sweden has 29 straight wins and 96-5 in goal difference.

Liechtenstein dancing badly

– I have respect for Liechtenstein, for all teams. They conceded a lot of goals against Russia (0-7), but it required a penalty for the Russians, and a red card for Liechtenstein for it to come off, says Erik Hamrén.

What is important in your offensive game?

– We must be patient. We have the quality and then discipline when we lose the ball we win this match. We need to have great movement, said Hamrén, is silent for a moment and then says:

– Liechtenstein as a woman to dance with, but who do not like to dance. You have to work hard with the footwork to gain momentum at the dance, said the Swedish coach.
