In a press conference held last Sunday (4), the Swedish coach said that he should send a team similar to the team in the first friendly: “We will have a lineup similar to the one we had in the last game. Of course South Africa will be more prepared for this game system, and we will need to adjust depending on what they do. But I liked the way we played, it will be a bit similar, with some new players. We will repeat the tactical formation because if you only try something once, it would not be enough. We will evaluate the performance again after the next game.”
However, Pia stated that the confrontation will also serve to give opportunities to new players, who are getting more and more used to their game proposal: “We have new players gaining more opportunities and, now, they are more comfortable and patient to be faithful to the game. game plan. I believe that now we will be more compacted”.
