shout. Small and big gestures, balancing the queen of beautiful drama, attitude, brutality but above all wonderful actions.
Sweden is flying with Kosovar Asllani.
So what more do we want? Well, that blue and yellow is running away from Belgium in the quarter-finals.
Kosovar Aslanis Her legs were still in the air when she sucked the ball with her left hand as support in the grass with the right ball. Well aware that a position on the sideline would give her a free kick, she hugged her belongings. Ana Borges, who closed the Swede lane, had no alternative. Kosier hit the ball on her. Without a free kick, it would have been a throw-in.
Ana Borges, 32 with three seasons at Chelsea, is no pigeon. But her outstretched arms testified that Sweden – and especially Kosovar Aslani – had already gained an advantage. after five minutes.
The free kick was just one of Kosse’s initial actions.
The Swedish offensive link, small-space champion, offensive turbo decided to take the match plan all the way.
Portugal’s left flank was to be shot down. “I didn’t want to let the other team breathe today,” she said after the win.
Within five minutes, the 32-year-old was brought down, frustrated with his arms and called for a penalty, but veteran French judge Stephanie Frappart acquitted the Swede and detonated him for a throw-in shortly after.
Aslani was behind most of the chances
Kosovar Aslani also had time to release Joanna Retting-Canerd with a right-footed shot between two defenders who turned foul.
And that was just the beginning.
The pressure Sweden was able to put on their right wing was based on giving Kosovar Aslani plenty of ball to find combinations with Stena Plaxtenius and Jonah Retting Canried.
In the press match, Sweden was like 4-4-2 with Stina Blackstenius and Kosovar Asllani rising, resulting in Fridolina Rulfo in this match having to sink down on her left side. Her attack was partially sacrificed.
But Kosovar Aslani was behind most of the Swedish chances. She overcame Stina Blackstenius, who was offside, and took the corner scored by Filippa Angeldahl 1-0. She was sent off, took a free kick and tricked the entire Portuguese team into waiting for a high ball before she cornered her body and played Philippa Angeldal free who was defeated 2-0.
In the moment before a free kick when John Anderson was there to talk to Kosovar Aslani about his substitute coach, Kosei was routinely pinned to his knees, gasping for breath and the Portuguese players confused.
The spectacle was splendid, while it must be pointed out that the passive defense with eleven players deep in their penalty area, without visible marks and an ambition to win second balls was rather naive. Until now.
Kosovar Aslani had a theater. She was great, came up with tricky situations, put penalties before she got out in the mixed zone, and directed us reporters when we asked each other questions.
skilled and temperamental
After the match against Switzerland, Kosovar Aslani was angry so it was rumored.
Teammates responded with “a lot of emotion,” but it’s essential for the group to have a leader who puts forward demands, draws expectations, indicates direction and awakens his surroundings – on and off the field.
She’s skilled, temperamental, and a small-minded player that a champion team needs, and skilled match analyst Peter Gerhardson uses “Kosse” as a sounding board.
Kosovar Asllani goes his own way even off the field, it may seem tough to get through to what doesn’t look right, but when it comes to blue and yellow he is very presentable.
Sweden – with Kosovar Aslani as leader – had a thaw in the British summer heat.
Belgium looks like a lottery
Yesterday, the margins went the Swedish way (5-0), and Italy, Iceland and Belgium awaited in the quarter-finals. It was nice to avoid Belgium. It was good to meet Italy.
Italy, affected by their progress in the 2019 World Cup, doesn’t really look good from the outside. Melina Bertolini, captain of the national team, put a key player on the bench, defensive shortcomings were obvious.
The meeting with Iceland will be cherished in many ways. The two teams met in the European Championship qualifiers and although Sweden had a tough time, 1-1, they beat Gamla Ullevi 2-0. It will be a physical battle, while also being exciting for the younger Icelandic players – many of whom have used Damallsvenskan as their starting point.
Before the decision, Belgium looks like a lottery for Sweden. The team grew during the group stage. A hardworking group with an offensive killer instinct through Janice Cayman’s feet. The worst ranking out of the three teams, but with an interesting twist.
The red flag was raised due to the “red flames”.
