Oslo. Three defeats in a row, two against Norway in a week – a new game system.
Now Blågult will evaluate the new tactics.
– If we want to play these game systems, we have to be more aggressive. Otherwise, we wouldn’t play 4-3-3, says Dejan Kulusevsky.
Jan Anderson I got into this national team group with a new playing system. It started off well with a 2-0 win away to Slovenia, but has since been followed up with three consecutive defeats against Norway and Serbia at home in Friends and then another loss against Norway in Ulyfull.
After the Nations League group, Janne Andersson will now be evaluating the new game system.
– If we look at the defensive situation, it won’t make much difference to the way we played before, but it’s more about the offensive game where there are teams with three. I think there are very good bits, where we found the right one, but at the same time we have to sit down and evaluate this and see what we can do better. He says because there are things we can do better.
‘You must take responsibility’
“The players are cowards,” Dejan Kulusevsky said after the last game against Norway. The same thing that I think applies in return.
– Yes, exactly the same. If we want to play these game systems, we have to be more aggressive and much higher on the field, otherwise we won’t be playing 4-3-3. When we don’t have the ball, we get too low with everyone and don’t push.
How did the players talk about it to try to get it?
We try to talk about it, but it’s hard to change it in the middle of the match. We have to take responsibility as players and coaches and find a much better way for the next match.
“There is nothing wrong”
Norway dominated the first half hour and Sweden had the most chases.
– That’s frustrating. There is nothing wrong. There is incredible talent and incredibly talented players in our national team, and it’s even more frustrating. It would have been okay if we weren’t feeling well.
However, Kulusevski believes that Blagult should continue with the new game system.
– I totally think so. It was very strange to start something and then come back.
Emil Forsberg also believes that there are things to improve.
It’s not fun losing football matches, and losing three in a row doesn’t make it better. These are small details, we got a little negative and a little scared. It’s a new game system and has a bit more to do with how you move in the press etc., he says.
How was this group?
– It was an experience. Lots of new people and new play system to sit back, many young people who came and wanted to show off. I think they did a very good job. But if you lose three matches, it’s tough.
