New, heavy loss against Norway.
Now Janne Andersson is properly sawn – and one detail in particular is highlighted.
“It’s not great,” writes the TV profile Ola Wenström.
Sweden would enter this summer’s Nations League game with a new game system, and with a bit of a generational change. Janne Andersson has – at least during this one together – abandoned his classic 4-4-2 system, for a 4-3-3, which on paper would suit the star players better.
Three straight losses
But it has not been a smash hit, right away. It was true that there was a win against Slovenia in the first group game round, but not even then was it a convincing and dazzling game. Since then, it has been lead-heavy, both in terms of play and results.
There was a loss against Norway at home at Friends Arena, and another against Serbia just days later. Yesterday there was a chance for revenge against Norway, then away, but it was another slap in the face for Janne’s “new” national team. Norway won 3-2, and afterwards the criticism is not gracious to the national team captain and the Swedish national team.
Point out the detail
In the TV broadcast, for example, Viasat expert Bojan Djordjic was really upset.
– Denmark is over, Norway is also starting to catch up. What happens next? Should Finland also start coming? These are the questions I ask myself. I know we are a small country but we must be able to ask for more and the requirements must be higher if we are to play a championship again, he says.
But it was not just Bojan who criticized. Lasse Lagerbäck was on the same track – and on Twitter, the TV profile Ola Wenström pointed out a flattering detail to say the least.
”17 international matches in one year. Eight losses. Norway and Norway, Serbia, Poland, Spain, Georgia, Greece, Ukraine… for a national team management that at least until the last week prioritized results before development, it is not great “, he writes.
