Can Victor Nelson Lindelof go? Can Sweden make a team together? Is Dejan Kulusevsky a leader?
Many questions, mostly this question:
How bad is it about Jan Anderson?
The captain of the national team presents his team for semi-warm Nations League matches against Serbia (empty stands) and Slovenia, and it’s not like you need to pour concrete foundations in all Sweden’s booths. They will not lean over this time.
There’s no World Cup to look forward to, no Zlatan making headlines, let’s be honest, the picks in the national team operations now are reminiscent of the Sunday morning before a series defeat at Corbin so early Sunday morning: ‘Damn, I can’t, I pulled my back in the week’ “,”Unfortunately I have a lot at work”,”Can’t get off, Eva’s at a conference and I have kids”,”Fig might check with manager first”,”Anyone with Filip Dagerstål’s number?!”.
Jan Anderson He summed up the conditions specifically measured when asked about Victor Nelson Lindelof’s possible involvement, having just returned from injury:
– If you look at the center back, I’m not against anyone who can go.
It’s easy to get along with Jean…
The challenge this team and this leader faces is unlike any they have faced since Anderson took over. Last spring, the guild captain got on his knees and called out to have “patience in the process”. It is easy to sympathize with him. Here he thought of renovating his house, but watch the hell if both carpenters and masons did not let themselves fall ill.
Sweden’s power has always been a key element in the regime’s thinking, in ideas. Security. “Before, you (inexperienced players) could sneak in and the system would take care of things,” Anderson said.
Now those who hold that security are gone, a generation is gone and the next generation cannot go. Four defenders (Philip Hellander, Karl Starvelt, Hjalmar Ekdal and Joachim Nilsson) turned down offers, and two more (Marcus Danielson and Pontus Jansson). It’s fun that Isaac Hain made his way in here, and Patrick and Lemark are knocking, that Michael Isaac Joining at last does not hide the fact that, in the midst of chaos, Sweden is trying to lead the way in changing the way it plays offensive games.
“If anyone has had a bad time in Sweden, it’s me,” Anderson said of the chaos and losses so far in the Nations League.
In an interview with Offside’s Johann Ornius, he allowed himself to feel sorry for himself “for five minutes”.
It is almost no shame for elite football coaches, and there is something annoying when this coach not only accepts reality but also allows himself to vent his frustration in the face of it – against his will to ignore everything that cannot be influenced.
…but it’s not his fault
Is he right? Of course, 2022 was a terrible year for the Swedish national football team. Lost in a World Cup qualifier, a losing final, a hundred hits and a defensive line barely playing a minute of competitive soccer in a fall when all they wanted was to hit the restart button and find something new to believe in. .
When Jan Andersson points out Dejan Kulusevsky and Alexander Isaacs and asks them to take the lead in the Sweden match, now that they’ve been around for a while and have risen to the elite in England, it’s probably not just about them being more straightforward in their path at the start. Pressure game against Serbia – it also comes down to the fact that here and now they have to lead Sweden through the darkness of autumn.
Two things are more important than anything else for a football team, one is identity and the other is faith. At the moment, both parts are missing, and the only card the national team has to play is that they can send three (if we include Anthony Ilanga) of the Premier League’s best young players to play offensive football alongside Ballon d’Or winner Emile. Forsberg.
It has to be exciting, it has to be fun, and there should be a lot of things to pique your curiosity even at the end of a sloppy year.
It’s no shame on Jan Anderson. It shouldn’t even look like it is.
