I have a feeling that the general message to Sweden before the game was:
"Everybody push up and attack and for the love of God dont let the Greeks score."
Because Mellberg was up in the attack very frequently especially on set pieces. I gotta give huge props to Hansson, that guy only made 1 or 2 defensive errors and was an absolute stone wall all game on the defense. |
Yeah... Hansson was definitely the defensive conscience. I was hoping Mellberg would look more like he did, but I think Sweden was more concerned about scoring on Greece. He looked like Barzagli, and right now, thats not a good thing.
