Euro 2025How will Switzerland play during its euro?
Pia Sundhage has tried a lot, including 3-5-2, in recent weeks. The coach will bet on the flexibility of his players during the European Women’s Championship.
The Swiss coach hides his game a little.
Toto Marti/Blick/Freshfocus“It is important to be flexible, in football. We have experience in the group and the girls are intelligent enough for that, said Pia Sundhage. The key is to dare to kiss change. 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-5-1 … The most important thing is to explain the different roles well, like when you play on one side: who goes fast to the right? Who is technical on the right? ”
“We will do it all by entering our bubble. To make it an understandable maximum, but also acceptable for the players. This is the best way to play in the Swiss team, she continued on Monday, after unveiling her selection. We have scaffolded plans and continue to put in place. I’m not going to reveal the tactics. The most important thing is the different roles and to believe in what we do. And that the state of mind is good, that things are clear for those who are on the ground as on the bench. ”
Alisha Lehmann impressed Pia Sundhage
Alisha Lehmann is a good example of this need for versatility. Like Iman Beney with Young Boys, the Juventus player is used to playing forward. But out of necessity, she was converted to one of the flanks of the defense to the Swiss team. Because on the right side, in a 3-5-2 for example, the Swiss workforce is in concern. Then the selector had to invent something.
“She was a player who impressed me during this preparation and that’s why she was selected,” said the Swedish coach on Monday. It has been tested and launched the right side and she does everything she can to help the team. It’s impressive. She asks the right questions about this position and has completely agreed to raise the challenge. She showed that she wanted to play football and be in this group for the euro. ”
And if ever, Pia Sundhage also has an experienced relay on the meadow. His captain, Lia Wälti, is not in the physical form of his life. But his game intelligence and tactical science have no equivalent in the country. “It’s the best, when she is healthy,” confirmed her coach. I have a huge self -confidence, she has known the high level for a long time. Lia makes the team best. “
