Vivian Miedema of the Netherlands will be Sweden’s biggest single threat at the premiere.
The Arsenal star is one of the best players in the European Championship, but Magdalena Ericsson stopped her before.
It doesn’t have to be ugly, there aren’t a lot of free kicks, but I want to be on the border, says the Swedish midfielder.
After two heavy losses in the tournament (EC 2017 and WC 2019), Sweden is preparing to take revenge on the Netherlands.
The prerequisite for profit is that the Swedish defense can put the sticks in the wheel of Holland’s brightest star, 25-year-old Vivan Miedema.
At Arsenal since 2017, and as a 22-year-old, he has become his country’s all-time leading scorer.
Since moving to London, Stina Blackstenius has had the opportunity to study closely – and admire – her new friend at the club.
– It was great to see her in training, to see what quality she has. She has always been known as a top scorer and that she has excelled in both the national team and the national team for several years now. But for me, it was new that she is good at training.
Sometimes you stop and think yes. You’ve always been a female soccer fan, says Stina Blackstenius on Sportbladet’s European Championship podcast.
Vivian Miedema was grateful for the Swedish striker’s arrival at Arsenal.
– What I heard was “It’s fun that you’re here and you can play ten, so finally I’m going to play ten,” says Blacksteinius.
It remains to be seen what starting position Vivian Miedema will have against Sweden, but regardless, special on-pitch monitoring will be required.
Swedish midfielder Magdalena Eriksson knows what’s needed – she excellently stopped the fearsome striker earlier in the Premier League.
– It’s so interesting to meet Midima because I know I have to be on my toes, and be the best version of myself to stop it. My way to stop it is to be too aggressive and be on the border all the time, Magdalena Erickson tells Sportbladet on the Femme Plus podcast.
Medima stop methods will not allow any intermediate modes. But there are traps to fall into the slopes of Sweden.
– I’ll be duels and you won’t get any extra time with the ball. But she is trying to trick you into some traps. She loves waiting and fake deals to find the perfect deal so it’s important not to sell. Magda points out the importance of not getting lost.
