First, he responded with statistics.
After another loss, the captain of the national team, Janne Andersson, sent a pass to her critics.
– If we look at who the midfielders are, they are Kulusevski, Olsson and Forsberg and then maybe we can stop talking about defensive balance, he says.
After the 0-2 against Cristiano Ronaldo and his Portugal, Janne Andersson was able to summarize last night a charge with two defeats.
Then he took the opportunity, as after the game against France, to give his critics answers to the speeches.
Despite several successes, the league captain has been criticized for overbalancing his teams on defense. In relation to the game against France, it was about the choice of Sebastian Larsson instead of the talented Juventus, Dejan Kulusevski.
“A very offensive balance”
This weekend, the captain of the team pointed to the statistics as proof of the creativity of the team, after the Portugal game he pointed out how the team’s management handled the disadvantage in terms of results and numerically.
– I choose at halftime that we will play 4-3-2 with a team, speaking of the defensive balance that people have talked about, extremely balanced offensively in the second half. I do this because if we ever get into the situation, we will play and not just go home and defend ourselves, he says and points:
– If we look at who the midfielders are, they are Kulusevski, Olsson and Forsberg and then maybe we can stop talking about defensive balance.
Sweden had a couple of attempts during the half, but it was Cristiano Ronaldo who punctured the game with his second goal.
– Today I had a very offensive balance, unfortunately the game was not over and it was a shame, says Janne Andersson.

Don’t think about criticism
If anyone thinks it was a populist decision not to rebalance the team after defensively high midfielder Gustav Svensson was sent off, think again.
Janne Andersson clearly pointed this out to Sportbladet:
– I don’t think about criticism at all in the middle. We are behind and we want to score a point. I’ve done that before.
The defeat against Portugal meant that Sweden lost the last five games against major soccer nations.
– It is not obvious that we always beat nations like Holland and Italy …, he says and explains:
– I think these days they take us very seriously, we are well explored.
