Reunion on the horizon
As it would transpire, Sundhage’s gut feeling would not let her down. Sweden knocked out USA before seeing off Brazil in the last four,buy robo fifa 17 coins at fifacoin.com and it was only in the final against Germany that they eventually met their match.
The game ended 2-1 in the Germans’ favour and Sundhage is well aware of who made the difference. “[Dzsenifer] Marozsan. They have a star player that separates Germany and Sweden. We’re two good sides who play well as a team, but when I see how she curled the ball into the bottom corner… She was able do something like that; we didn’t have a player who could.”
Yet despite falling at the final hurdle, Sundhage considers the silver meal to be the team’s finest achievement during her tenure as coach. She is immensely proud of the road the team have travelled from her very first game against South Africa to last year’s valiant defeat in Rio’s Maracana. Progress has been obvious, and that progress must continue.
Barely a month after the Olympic final, Sweden qualified for this summer’s UEFA Women’s EURO 2017 in the Netherlands, where they can prepare for a group-stage reunion with Germany, plus matches against Italy and Russia.
“We’re going to take another road – to begin with. We’re going to play a bit differently and we have some new players coming through,” said Sundhage. “We have high expectations for this mix of old and new players. We gained some confidence by winning silver and we’ll take that good feeling with us.Robo fifa coin We’ll also have a strong defence and we’ll improve our attack. I’m really looking forward to the European Championship
