- Sweden comes out of the summer of 1994
- A starless team is rich in unity
- It will now face Switzerland in the last 16 years
By Alexandra Jonson with Sweden [19659005] The summer has been hot in Sweden, exceptionally hot. One that is reminiscent of another summer of the World Cup that has rocketed the thermometers – a summer that the Swedes will never forget – that of 1994, when they saw the bronze hung around the Swedish neck in the USA.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup ™ Russia could become another unforgettable month of June and July. On Wednesday, they won a World Cup match by three goals for the first time since the summer of 1994. It was the first time that they were getting two wins in the group stage since their arrival in 1958, where they finally reached the final.
Discrete Alignment
But there is a major difference between these two teams and the one that beat Mexico 3-0 to climb to the top of Group F on Wednesday. The teams & # 39; 94 & 58 & # 39; have undoubtedly been honored by several world clbad players.
That's not to say that they are not quality players, but it's not a team that screams individual quality. On the contrary, it comes down to something much more important: team work.
Perhaps never a Swedish national team had been as harmonious as the current national team. They call themselves a "club team" in the sense that the relationship between the players is as close as they could be seen every day, throughout the year. "If you google's team, you'll have a picture of us," said John Guidetti.
This unit has created special trust within the group, as stated by Pontus Jansson FIFA . I do not know what are the expectations from the outside, but it is like that in the group. "
Hardened Belief
It's this self-confidence in the team that they beat France and drew with the Netherlands in their qualifying group, before moving on Italy in play-offs and finish top of a World Cup group that included the defending champions.
"We know what we've done before and that in football nothing n & # 39; It's impossible if you work really hard, "said Budweiser's man of the match against Mexico, Ludwig Augustinsson
" It's something we've built for the past two years and we believe completely in what we do, "Sebastian Larsson told FIFA. "We show time and time again that we can make the task difficult for any opponent we meet. We work hard and we feel very comfortable."
Earlier this week, Emil Forsberg said he had high hopes. reason to continue doing so. "You should always dream I think, it's important or it will be difficult to look forward."
"We dream of doing something big We know what we did to get here We are mentally prepared and then we will see but, of course, we dream of going far."
A meeting with Switzerland in St. Petersburg will be the next place where they hope not to wake up.
