Sweden boasts many key players from Premier League and Champions League clubs, but after three World Cup qualifying matches, they have only 1 point and sit at the bottom. The coaching staff is utterly incompetent.

The Swedish national team is indeed an extraordinary team, containing multiple key players from elite Premier League and Champions League clubs. Yet the team’s overall strength is very weak, mainly due to the coaching staff’s lack of tactical expertise. They cannot harness the players’ abilities effectively, making the presence of top Premier League forwards Isak and Jørgensen meaningless.

In the early hours of October 11th (Beijing time), Sweden played their third match in Group B of the European World Cup qualifiers, losing 0-2 at home to Switzerland. This left them winless after three games, with one draw and two defeats, and placed last in the group.

Sweden lost 0-2 to Switzerland despite having a starting lineup valued at €311 million, double the Swiss starting lineup worth €154 million. Being defeated at home and failing to score is quite unacceptable.

Sweden’s results in the first three World Cup qualifying matches are as follows:A 2-2 draw away against Slovenia, a 0-2 loss away to Kosovo, and a 0-2 home defeat to Switzerland.Originally considered the strongest team in the group, Sweden has failed to win any of their first three matches, putting their qualification hopes in serious jeopardy.

The Swedish squad is also packed with stars, includingLiverpool forward Isak, Arsenal striker Jørgensen, Tottenham attacking midfielder Kulusevski, Newcastle winger Ilanga, Frankfurt midfielder Larsen, Atalanta defender Hien, Brighton midfielder Aya, and Dortmund defender Svensson.Many of these players are key starters for Premier League and Champions League clubs, and the rest are also regulars at top teams in the big five European leagues. Yet Sweden’s poor team performance clearly shows the head coach Thomassen’s incompetence. This rookie coach, who has never managed in the big five leagues, has seriously hindered such a talented squad.
