Subject: »[NT] National Team

Thank you Bagarn! Well, I didn't want to go against Belgium with a safety tactic in the first match. I made risk. We went with 4-3-3 formation. Belgium came 5-3-2 with a winger. Well, thats true the opponent was better, but if I see the goals what we got the 0-5 is too much. The match could have started well, but we missed some really serious goal options. Conny Hysén gave a big trhrouh pass to Möller, he went one and one against the keeper and missed it. After in the 12.minutes Grankvist played himself clean between two defenders, and he was one and one against the keeper, the goal option missed. after the rebound Ludvigson hit next to the bar. At the 23.minutes Meysmans shoot far from the gate nothing special. At the 26.minutes a far shoot from Belgium again, it was more serious, he hit out it only. At this minutes they had another goal options, after Meysmans got long pass, and he headed the ball from 6-7 meter, but Rolfsson safed. At the 30.minutes Belgium lead with 1-0 after Smekens long pass Meysmans headed a goal across Rolfsson hand, maybe Rolfsson could catch it, I don't know.
At the 32.minutes we got an incredible goal, after Rolfsson safed a shot what he hit out, our defenders could kicked out. As we can see the our defender started to run, after finsh the runing, and behind the Belgian striker run, and got a goal from the rebound, this is really incredible. The result could be 1-,but now 2-0. At the 43.minutes Vandendrisscl crossed on the wing, and give a big ball Shollen who headed a correct goal. The first half was 0-3. There were more Belgiam goal options.
Athe 47.minutes BElgium had a really serious goal option, but we had luck.
At the 52. minutes Schollen shoot from long range, Rolfsson couldn't catched it, only hit in front of the Belgian striker, and Meysmans need to shoot the ball into the empty gate.
At the 61.minutes Möller show a big solo run on the wing, after the cross he get into the ball inito the middle. One and one with the kepper, hi hit the ball into the goalkeeper. This was a big option for the goal. At the 64.minutes Scieur give a long pass in the air, I feel it an easy safe, but no, Rolfsson didn't catched it and Harpoel get the 5th Blegian goal. I feel this isn't Rolfsson day, but in earlier match he safed really well, and everybody can have bad match sometimes.

At the 67.minutes we got very near to a goal, after a through pass, we missed a really serious one and one, the Belgian keeper safed well. At the 68.minutes Grankvist from far, but easy safe...
After this there were nothing special. If we see the statistics, this was a similar match as we played against Hungary.

After the Belgian match we played against the favorite in the group. Hellas is the strongest in the group. At the first match against Belgum we was really unlucky. But at this match we lost against better team who got a correct goals and they were much better then us.
I choice a safety tactic after our first match with an 5-3-2 formation. The first half was a closed game with 4-5 really serious Greek goal option, and they missed a penalty. We had serious goal option from Grankvist.
In the second half the Greek team was much better. Our defenders was so high and maybe they tired. At 0-2, we got a goal and the result 1-2 with Rolf Lord score's, but in the final we got 3 other goals. The 5th Greek goal show the defenders tired so much.

Now Belgium and Greece have 6 points so the qualify for the playoffs.

I didn't forget it, I will write about the midfielders as I promised earier.

As I promised here are the midfielders. I cleaned the datebase so much. Now there are only 22 midfielders at the seniors, 3-4 not too good at this age. There will be new generation players here.
The key players on near the 30 age or reached it.
Attacking Midfielders:


Niclas Magnell (35) As I see his price, I could delete him from the datebase, but I let him in until the end of the season. I didn't get a refresh about him.

Conny Hysén (30) Hysén reached the 30 age, but he is the best and there will 3 good years here as I feel. He is the National team engine:)

Konstantin Stjernfeldt(31): He is 31 now. I just finished the pace training, thats why he didn't dropped pace skill, but I started to train the tackling training, maybe he will drop pace in this season. He played on the wing, but maybe next qualify season he will be better on the middle.

Lars Leosson: In lot of important matches played in the middle and sometimes played as a defensive midfielder, because I needed a better average rating in the team, in the next qualify season the next NT Coach need for him on the wing.

Sven-Ake Gudmunsson: His form started to pop up. For a long time to didn't played because of this.

Ossian Messersmitt(27): After his trainer sold him he didn't pop up skills. But he would need some level pace. He come from the younger generation so his future is good.

Filip Billysson (30): Mostly played back the first team, but as I see the datebase his chanses is better to play in the next season in the WCQ.

Vilgot Wiland (29): As I wrote in the past season he could play as a playmaker. I can say the same as at Billysson, his chances could be better on the middle, because there are fewer players on the wing.

Adrian Zebulonsson (33): He is on the datebase, but he isn't in the plan now. He lost too much pace. He can play if there are any form problem in the squad.

Douglas Silferstolpe (28): He is on the datebase, but he won't play in the future.

Michel Jörgensson (26): He is bad form:(, but he will be important player for the team in the next WCQ. He need 2-2 level technique and passing first.

Christopher Zilberstein(26): I didn't played yet. His form alway bad. But He is really good player and near for the first team he need 1-1 level playmaking, technique, passing and pace to play in important matches.

Max Bagge (30): He didn't played in the last 4 season in the team. But he is on the datebase.

Michael Bodinger(36): Now I can say he won't play in the Nation team in the future, but I let him in the datebase. HE was a really good player.

Paul Wilmersson(27): He didn't played yet in the team he is not the best, but he poped up some levels. He need 1 level playmaking immediately and one level passing would be good. Because very few option in the midfield we can calculate with him. He won't pop up too much levels at his age.
------------------------------------------

Defensive midfielders:

Villiam Hyllsjö(26): He is the best here. His owner who trained him sold him in this season. I feel he won't get training in the future, but he is good enough, maybe would be good 2 level tackling. He is only 26 age yet, so there are lot of years in the team. He have been NT player from his 22 age.

Claes Tapper(25): He play in the team much more. He need 2 level technique, and minimum 1 level tackling would be good. He need some level stamina for the long matches. He is a new generation player.

Kent Edeflod(32): Because of his form, he didn't played so much in the early past. He is good enough. I don't know he will be good enough in the next season or no. But he can drop skills. He sin't our fastest player here.

Olov Ljunggren(30): He can play always his form mostly on the top. His future is good in the next season too.

Stig Wettergren(27): Well, he would be the best option for this position, because he is the only one midfielder whose tackling skill is good enough. He don't play so much because of his pace. He need minimum 1 level playmaking, and need 2 level pace. But I can calculate with him in the U27 Europe Cup.

I will continue about the younger players in the squad in the next week.

Finally we got a draw against Austria on the WC 2 weeks ago. We scored from our little options. Opponent dominated as a wait, but the team defend well. We lead with 3-2, but in the final got a goal. Rolfsson injured unfortunatelly, and there weren't another top formed goalkeeper. Swahn was the subs. Möller got 2 goals, and Lord got 1.

After the WC matches, we played a friendly game against Russia without any judgement. Kent Edeflod and Vilgot Wiland didn't played so many times and now got a chance in the NT. Each team played 4-3-3, our winning wasn't a question. Rolf Lord was on the top with his 5 goals.

As I promised write about some younger players about the squad mostly midfielders. I refreshed him at the start of the season. I will refresh him shortly.

Lasse Jernemyr (25): He need need minimum 3-4 level technique, and 3 level playmaking to play as a playmaker in the senior team in serious matches, and one level passing would be good. I calculate with him in the U27 Europe Cup.

Oscar Roxtröm (24): pop up slowly, I don't know he reach the minimum requirements. He need minimum 3 level pace to play as a playmaker, and need minimum 2 level playmaking and 2 passing.

Karl Josephson (24): He need minimum 2-3 level passing-pace-playmaking.

Mans Kallstrand(25): As I saw, his promise is good, if he get playmaking skill. Need it so much. Immediatelly need minimum 3 level playmaking first, and after 1-1 level technique passing and pace. He have 2 year to get skills after this he won't pop up so much.

Roar Holgersson (24): He didn't poped up so much level in the last season, I am not confident about his future good.

Kent Inge Junerud(24): He isn't good enough, I feel his future not too good.

Michel Bertilsson(24): He was a big primise when he was 23 age. But in the last year he only poped up 1 level skill. Maybe the owener train all skills and poped up shortly from every skills. I hope it. He need 2 level pace, 1-1 level passing and technique and 3 level playmaking first. After this we need to see his future. But his chance a little bit worse then 1 year ago.

Conny Landemark(23): Well, he need 1 level pace, his technique is good enough now, and his playmaking is correct enough. His passing skill is his problem. He need 5-6 level passing skill.

Stefan Stalberg (22): He is a well balanced trained midfielder. He is better then some 23-24 older players. His chances really serious and good in the future. He it would be good if he got 3-3 from every mid skills and pace. It would be good if his owner maxed his skills:) He is a future winger and limited edition now.

Egil Wiland (22): He is really promising, when I saw in the market and advised to Ragge to buy him. He need 3 level pace, after got from every midfielder skills similarly. We would be an all rounder player s Leaosson in the National team. I feel his future could be better then Körner or Björklund if he is talented.

Linus Björklund (23): I feel his technique is good enough now. His passing is reach the minimim requirement. He need a lot of space and playmaking. He need 4-5 level pace and 3 level playmaking. He won't be good enough as a winger, but he could be usefull as a playmaker if he pop up enough in the next 2-3 years.

Tomas Körner (23): I feel he won't be good enough to play in the National team, well Björklund is better.
----------------------------------
I took 2 other defender into the datebase. I can't write anayting about their future, but they are the better ones from the last U21 team, we need to see them.

It was a very closed game last week against Colombia. We got one unfortunatelly goal, but the opponent was better at this match.

Shortly the U27 Europe Cup started, so we will play a friendly mach against Malta with U27 team. Well, we have really few players who can good for the tournament, and our squad much weeker, then the the last years. Thats why some 22-23 age old players will play in the team, because some of them better then the older ones. Some new players will debut today.
