Italy - Sweden: The ripple of life
The last time that Italy was absent from a World Cup finals was 60 years ago, a period of a lifetime. The sadness was ripped with the tifosi when teacher Ventura lost 0-1 in the first leg at Solna ...
FORCE
- ITALIA: Missing Marco Verratti (suspended); The possibility of Leonardo Bonucci left open.
- SWITZERLAND: Full of best forces.
FALSE AND FORWARD
- Italy only won the last two matches in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers (win 2, draw 1, lost 2). At home, the Azzurri are maintaining 7 unbeaten games (4 wins, 3 draws).
- Sweden only lost the last 2/10 matches in every arena (win 7, draw 2, lose 1). On away field, the Nordic team only won the last four games (win 1, draw 1, lost 2).
- Italy won 4/6 of the last Swedish clash since 2000 (4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss). In the first leg, the Azzurri lost 0-1 on Sweden.
The most telling moment in the play-offs between Sweden and Italy is probably not the only goals scored by midfielder Jakob Johansson but the face of a deflated Italian fans brought to the Friends Arena. The message "No Italy, no party!" There is so much to say about this banner. It has shown the pride of the tifosi, but also reflects the concern of the NHM pasta of the prospect of Italy can not get tickets to Russia for the 2018 World Cup finals.
What will happen if the unarmed army fails to board the train? It must have been a tragedy with Italian football for 60 years, they have never been absent from the world football festival largest. Unknown due to random or the arrangement of fate, the last time Italy could not participate in the World Cup finals was in 1958, the tournament took place in Sweden. This time, they had to cross the boundaries of the Nordic countries.
No Italy, World Cup what is interesting! That is the thought of NHM country pasta. In fact, over the past 60 years, the Azzurri has brought so many emotions to the biggest league in the world. They have won four finals and two world championships. If included in the historical length, the military dress shirt has four times won the gold cup, just less than Brazil. Absent one of the best teams so far, the 2018 World Cup is sad!
But the NHM Italia is ready to face the harshest reality. According to a survey conducted by La Gazzetta, up to 75% of NHM shirts do not believe the upstream scenario of Ventura teacher.
History is on the side of Italy as they have been in the sixth consecutive year of the biggest football festival of the day. But the past will be nothing if the Azzurri can not catch up. In fact, before the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, Italy has been warned after two consecutive failures in the World Cup finals of 2010 and 2014 (out of the group stage).
The black came to Italy when they fell into the Spanish league. Next, they had to face Sweden in the round of tickets. Failure 0-1 in the first leg was not too big a challenge for the team four times to the top of the world. But it is worth mentioning that the current Azzurri of Ventura is lacking in power.
Still the key players who reached the quarterfinals of EURO 2016, even added a few new talent but Italy played a lack of focus when coach Ventura has thrown the team 3-5-2 of Conte too lots of changes and testing. It makes the Azzurri no longer effective in attacking and defending.
Not counting the clashes of weak opponents like Israel or Liechtenstein, the Azzurri are disappointing. Since the defeat of Spain 0-3 in early September to now, the military shirt only scored just three goals / 5 games. Immobile is doing the rain in Serie A with 14 phases but can not integrate with the diagram of coach Ventura. The same is true of Andrea Belotti.
Not only lost to Sweden in the first leg, Italy also suffered personnel losses when midfielder Marco Verratti has received enough yellow cards and can not play the second leg tonight. This absence forced coach Ventura to change the staff and possibly the plan and the play, especially when the Azzurri are pushed to the corner.
Offensive will of course be Ventura's preferred option. But remember, this is not the style of the Italians. In the first leg, the Azzurri controlled the ball to 63.4%, launched 10 final but hit only one hit. As a result, Ventura's army could not score, and even had to go home with defeat.
Playing at home in the return leg is a big advantage for Italy. But Sweden is not currently the team to be bullied. For years, Sweden was nicknamed "the one-man team" because they were so dependent on Zlatan Ibrahimovic. This is one of the reasons why the North European team can not win tickets to the last two World Cup finals (2010 and 2014). But this is different! Ibra has retired from international career after EURO 2016.
No Ibra, Sweden has many difficulties. But in a difficult situation, they build a balanced, even team, independent of any factor. Bonding and discipline are also tightened. Its performance is reflected in Sweden losing only 4/16 games since the end of UEFA EURO 2016 (10 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses).
Not only uniform and sticky, Sweden is also appreciated with the style of play under coach Janne Andersson. They can play pragmatic but are ready to burst when needed. In qualifying, the North European team eliminated the Dutch and caused many difficulties for the star team of France.
On the individual side, Sweden may be less Italian. But on the collective face, the Nordic team is no worse than any European giants. This is a very important factor in the games that affect the pride of a nation as play-offs tonight.
Four years ago, Sweden failed at the 2014 World Cup play-off against Portugal. They do not want history to repeat again.
