Sure, you can dismiss 1-1 against the Czech Republic that it was a training match. Poor framing. The resistance was pretty good and managed to put pressure on Sweden. And coach Hamrén tested players.
Still, the feeling is not nearly as positive after the 1-2 against Turkey. Then there was an intensity and an energy that was missing now apart from the start of the match. For the way the national team lose this game does not impress.
Sweden needs to win this kind of match. They created enough chances to have 3-0 before the Czechs equalized. Unfortunately, only the Marcus Berg , which put its location to 1-0. Both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Emil Forsberg burned fine scoring opportunities
Instead, it was 1-1 after half an hour. And after that did not work much in the Swedish game. The worst thing was that it was Sweden’s weak defense game that offered the Czech equalizer, again on a fixed situation.
First Emil Salomonsson not with his players after a quick free kick and Czech can take down the ball in the penalty area. Then there was ball watching and Martin Olsson could not with his players who could nod the ball Andreas Isaksson .
Both Marcus Berg and Marcus Allbäck was liberating clear break in the interviews that it was too bad. Both Defence game at 1-1 and Sweden lost the initiative, play and self-confidence. Hardly the signal Hamrén needed to get.
To get took the leap and strengthened their EM equities. Rock definitely and also Nilsson Lindelof . Lewicki is right in the positions but the clearance gap was weak. Neither Durmaz , Larsson , Guidetti , Forsberg or Olsson convinced me.
of the given is Isaksson stable Granqvist good and Källström key to their passing game. Lustig will play even if he just jumped in. Otherwise, increased rather the question marks for Erik Hamrén than vice versa.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is undeniably in his best form, or at least up there, and was also available in match against Turkey. Then it had been wonderful to see him against Denmark in the autumn playoff. As he toiled, fought and led the team on the field.
Of course, it’s a whole different ball game and you get of course accept that he goes down a notch. Yet it is clear that Sweden needs him to Denmark to make any impression in the European Championship in France.
In the European Championship play-offs he ran and fought back and saw that the whole team worked together as a unit. It needs to if the defense game to run for Sweden, and it will be crucial against Ireland, Italy and Belgium.
Of course he gets the crap out of their opponents and it’s tough, but it would sure he keeps cool when it burns to. Now he ended up in a tough battle with the Czech captain, and it may end up in the wrong way when he takes a neck grip.
The complaint is usually that his gestures belong to his high level. To this one must live with. Have never understood it. Who will be better off to
get himself a hair dryer or get to see the gestures on the pitch? As it looked against the Czech Republic.
No, it is not the quality of the environment that the PSG but everyone knows it. It is hardly news. Therefore it is important to Hamrén and the others in the team get it. Zlatan is obviously crucial, and he is in the right phase of the European Championship so it may be good. Very good.
*****
Sweden-Norway in August 2013, 13 438, Sweden and Estonia in September 2014 took 15,421 and then we have Sweden-Czech Republic 18 475. It is obvious that Lagardère and SvFF have a lot to work with around the caps.
the campaigns man carries insufficient and 375 kronor for a place on the long side is apparently too expensive. Will never understand that one does not give away tickets to the youth team to get a worthy setting at the national stadium.
*****
Hasse Backe has got a nightmare start as Finnish coach: four losses and 0-11. Norway won 2-0 and then complained anyway Per Mathias Högmo on a bad Norwegian effort.
*****
Hope Erik Hamrén (read: Marcus Allbäck for the most he who check players) inventory even some of those outside the squad here. It is important to find the right in the 23 man taking out in May.
