  • Old Swedes ? Anders

    From MH@24:150/2 to rec.sport.soccer on Sat Nov 14 13:46:10 2020
    Just looked at the lineup in Sweden - Croatia, and that seems like a
    pretty old Swedish lineup. 7 out of the starting 11 are 30 or older.
    This includes:

    Olsen GK 30
    Lustig 33
    Danielson 31
    Bengtsson 32

    S. Larsson 35
    Ekdal 31

    Berg 34

    Question for Anders:

    Is this just an excess of caution by your coach, or are the younger
    ones (Larsson, Isak, Kulusevski (who is playing) not trustworthy ?

    I don't think there is any other reason than that the coach fields the
    players he thinks fit best into the game plan,regardless of age.
