Sweden to throw off shackles against Slovakia at Euro 2020

Sweden is promising a more expansive approach against Slovakia at the European Championship. That won't be difficult. Against Spain in their Group E opener, the Swedes had only 15% possession the lowest figure on record in the history of the tournament. In terms of passes, they had 161 compared to Spain's 917. Sweden coach Janne Andersson will say the game plan of hunkering down, defending deeply and compactly, and then attempting to hit on the break worked. After all, the final score was 0-0 a satisfactory result against the team regarded as the best in the group and Sweden arguably created the best two chances of the game, for strikers Alexander Isak and Marcus Berg. "If there's something that we are among the best in the world at, it's accepting a sacrificial game," Sweden midfielder Albin Ekdal said. That won't be accepted Friday, though, when they play a less possession-based opponent in Slovakia, a team cut from a similar cloth to Sweden in terms of defensive rigidity an

Ibrahimovic adapts to mentor role with Sweden after comeback

Two starts. Three assists. Six points. The return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to international soccer has been a resounding success for Sweden's national team, even though the AC Milan striker failed to score in either of the wins over Georgia or Kosovo in World Cup qualifying. At 39 years old, Ibrahimovic is about more than just goals at this stage of his career. He sees himself as a mentor to an exciting crop of young attackers, led by Alexander Isak. I told them, I do not have to score goals, I will help you instead,' said Ibrahimovic, who is no longer the complete focus of Sweden's attacking game plan like he was before retiring from international duty in 2016. Fears that Ibrahimovic's return would affect the balance of the team have so far proved unfounded, with Sweden following up a 1-0 win over Georgia on Thursday with a 3-0 victory at Kosovo on Sunday. There are much sterner tests to come for the Swedes notably at home against Spain in their next qualifier in September but coa
