Peter Gerhardsson has expressed after the exit that Sweden does not have players who can beat their player in the one-on-one game.
In Wednesday's EC studio, SVT Sports expert Daniel Nannskog takes after the confederation captain's thought and fills in:
- This is something that I have been nagging about in Swedish football since I started in my role.
It is extremely important to have players such as Kosovare Asllani.
In the English national team, they had a lot of players who are very confident in the one-on-one game, to really get past with technique and speed.
Nannskog does not think that Sweden has enough players who are comfortable in that part of the offensive game and can do it under pressure.
- We see it in France, where it is teeming with players who can beat their opponent.
Germany also has those types.
That is probably the big challenge in Sweden, to bring out the types like Asllani who are confident in being able to step past their opponent and open up the game.
So he's on to something, Gerhardsson.
