Football-Bundesliga - Swedish closeness inspires Union Svensson (Swedish name)
From European champions Spain, Union Berlin's new coach Bo Svensson will observe his team's work. "When you see the Spaniards throughout an entire tournament, there's a plan for every phase of the game. Whether the opponent presses high, presses low, whether we press high or drop deep," said the Dane in Union Berlin's training camp in Austria in response to a question about his vision of collective play.
The Furia Roja, who were crowned European champions for the fourth time on Sunday evening in Berlin, dominate all components of the game, said Svensson. "You can see, for example, how individually the English are, but the Spaniards have a common idea. That means they can play faster and many players perceive the same situation similarly."
Querfeld is also on board now
There are some things to take away from that, said the 44-year-old. "Many had set other teams higher due to individual quality, but it was the team with the clearest plan and the clearest execution of that plan," he said, but made it clear: "We won't play like the Spaniards." However, it's inspiring how Luis de la Fuente's team tactically performed, he added.
The Iron Ones are preparing for the Bundesliga season until July 19th in Tirol. On Thursday (7:00 PM CEST), Union Berlin's only test game in the training camp against Dynamo Kiev takes place in Kematen. New signing Leopold Querfeld is also present now. The Austrian EM participant shortened his vacation.
