The Swedish media did not beat the beaten Janne Andersson after the 1-3 loss to Austria. The head coach was treated exceptionally kindly, as there are currently no good replacements available.
On Tuesday, the Swedish national football team lost the qualifying match to Austria 1–3 and got stuck in third place in Group F with no further dreams. Sweden is about to be left out of the European Championships to be played in Germany next summer, which has been driven by the head coach Janne Andersson cramped. Sweden’s difficulties in the qualifiers have been a favorite topic of conversation in the Swedish press, so Tuesday’s nightmare did not attract much criticism for Andersson. The Swedish media does not beat the beaten head coach.
The situation was different in the qualifying window in June, when Andersson got into an argument with the studio expert after the match and the team got a good beating from the Swedish media.
Swedish public broadcasting company SVT described the team’s defeat as a nightmare, after which a place in the European Championship looks out of reach. The Austrian attacker was a thorn in the Swedes’ side Marko Arnautovicwho scored two goals in the home team’s net.
After Tuesday, the Swedish Football Association again announced its unwavering support for its head coach. However, at the press conference after the match, the Swedish coach was clearly irritated and unsure. When asked about Andersson’s position, the coach told reporters “Should I resign now?”
Swedish newspaper Expressin according to Andersson lost his temper after the match when the answers at the press conference were interpreted into German. However, the coach got into a joke and answered the question asked in German briefly in the same language.
Andersson’s replacement has been rumored, among other things Graham Potterwho previously coached Brighton and Chelsea in the English Premier League. Dagens Nyheteterin Johan Esk urges the president of the Swedish Football Association Fredrik Reinfeldt to call Potter. Aftonbladet Simon Bank instead, knock out the dreams of an English coach. According to Bank, there are currently no good alternatives for the national team pilot.
– Whoever the future coach of the national team is, he has talented players and a good attack, but a vulnerable defense, in his hands, wrote Bank.
Despite the poor results, Bank sympathizes with Andersson, whose sky at the helm of the Swedish national team has been plagued by injuries.
Sweden’s moderns are less than one percent, Huuhkaj’s as much as 55 percent
With Tuesday’s loss, Sweden’s chances for the European Championships withered to non-existent. Two teams advance from the group and Sweden is third in Group F with six points. At the top of the group are Belgium and Austria, each with 13 points. Sweden’s place in the next round would require a complete meltdown of Belgium or Austria, and at the same time Sweden would have to take the available points from their remaining three qualifying matches. The back door to the Games also exists through the Nations League, but since Sweden finished last in its group in the B-League, that route is closed to the team.
After the qualifying games in September, Sweden’s chances of a place in the competition are less than one percent. Correspondingly, Huuhkajie’s chances for the games are closer to 55 percent.
