Swedes happy with underdog tag
STOCKHOLM, June 20: Hosts Sweden, morale high and history on their side, challenge world
champions Germany on Sunday for the prize of a place tn the final of the European Soccer Championship, reports Reuter.
The Swedes, happy to assume the role of underdogs in the semifinal, showed superb spirit in overturning an early deficit to beat England 2-1 on Wednesday and top Group One.
Germany, caught cold by two early goals and beaten 3-1 by the Netherlands on Thursday, were lucky to scrape through Group Two and had Scotland to thank for guaranteeing their survival by beating the CIS.
History also offers encouragement to Sweden, who achieved their footballing pinnacle by ousting defending champions Germany 3-1 In the 1958 World Cup semifinals on home turf before defeat by Brazil In the final.
Germany, however, are a traditionally tough and resilient team and they will do their utmost to remedy the defensive mistakes which were punished by the Dutch and
might have been more exploited by the CIS and Scotland.
German team chief Berti, Vogts is outwardly confident, predicting his team will prevail in the Rasunda Stadium and face the Dutch In Friday's final in Gothenburg.
"This team Is much stronger than the Swedes. Wc expect a cauldron in
Injuries to Stefan Reuter'I. and Guido Buchwald limit Vogts' options
Stockholm but we can't go into
the game so passively again." he said.
"We have respect for the Swedes but we know we can beat them as we did in October 1990." The Germans won that match here 3-1.
Home expectations are high after the exploits of the team and the goals of Jan Eriksson and Tomas Brolin, but Swedish press spokesman Hans Ilultman plays It all down.
"Germany is a big footballing nation and world champions, so I don't think the pressure on us will be any bigger against them than It was against England," he said.
"We are not confident about beating Germany but we arc confident about our own pfay. If we keep playing the way we did in the first matches then we hope that will be enough to produce a winning performance.
Both teams have selection problems. Sweden must replace defender Patrik Ande-sson and Influential midfielder Stefan Schwarz, suspended for one match after receiving their second bookings.
Germany, who lost striker Rudi Voeller with a broken arm In the opening match, hope defenders Guido Buchwald and Stefan Reuter
will have recovered from head injuries which kept them out of the Dutch game.
Thomas Helmer will retain the sweeper's role he took on when Libero Menfred Binz was pulled off at halftime and Andreas Moeller may well be dropped after a disappointing performance.
Defender Andreas Brchme, who took over the captaincy from Vocllcr. said Sweden's strength was their fighting morale, as demonstrated against England.
“Physically they're extremely strong. It certainly won't be easy," he said. They've played superbly till now. We must smash them out if wc want to be European champions."
