After Sweden's 1-0 win against Switzerland in St. Petersburg, several Swiss players were upset by this defeat and believed that the Swedish national team, whose goal had fallen after a shot from Emil Forsberg on the foot of Manuel Akanji, was lucky.
The federation of the team Vladimir Petkovic was much more generous at his press conference
Several Swiss journalists said that their national team "lacked feelings" on the plane, but it was a scenario that Petkovic has recognized from other Sweden matches. ] – There was something missing in this game. In the last matches I saw with the Swedish team, all the opponents had a hard time playing passively. This has been a difficult task for more teams than us. We have not been able to do it either, he says.
– We have to do an analysis, but something was missing. Our gameplay probably meant that we could not raise players' energy or emotionally, but we were not alone there. Sweden was there too, it was a well deserved victory for Sweden.
Sweden meets England in the quarterfinals
Several teams seem to have underestimated Sweden during the qualification and here in Russia. Can Colombia and England also do it in a possible quarterfinal?
– I think in a quarter-final, you should not underestimate an opponent. There are more than 16 teams in the eighth finals, those who advance do things well. It will be hard for everyone. All teams present have excellent characteristics. The diapers you mentioned are technically qualified and physically strong – but they can certainly be a problem with Sweden.
What makes Sweden so hard to win? Will they go far?
– Sweden is never a favorite. They have not been favorites in qualifying or in groups, but have evolved. Many seem to have doubted Sweden, but this is not a mediocre team. Not at all. It's a very powerful team, a homogeneous team if you can say it. Good physics on individual players. When they score, it's very hard to break that nose.
Sweden will now play the quarter-finals against England on Saturday.
