Sven's masterclass -- "Football is very simple, I just ask 'who are the most famous and popular players from the biggest clubs in England'.... It was my job to find them and put them in a 4-4-2" - Job Done.

[@saxxone17]

Fair play to him tho, 4-4-2 was the 4-5-1 of today. Looking at his formation, I just wondered how he managed without a dedicated 4.

[@mattinterweb]

That is true, but I also think that many coaches can learn from Eriksson when it comes to mental coaching. He was a great boss.

[@lyndonedwards6947]

Remember that game so well. England were always constantly looking to get Owen into space and areas that he could shoot, because you just knew that the chances were so high. He was fatal.

[@benik4961]

This man always looked much more like a university professor or a law firm partner than a football coach

[@danfors1333]

His tactics were very basic and simplistic by today's standards, stuck to 442, but it got the work done. His strength as a coach was always to recruit and combine players who work in harmony with each other, covering each others weaknesses and lifting each others strength. Encouraging players to specialize themselves to only do what they are individually good at instead of trying to be equally good at everything.

[@g8le]

@danfors1333 Lmao how would you know that they're simplistic, it's not like he described them exhaustively here. Plenty of modern teams use 4-4-2 even today

[@danfors1333]

@@g8le cause his tactics ARE simplistic by todays standards. But revolutionary for its time back in the 70s-80's. I've heard Svennis speak countless of hours in podcasts and interviews and it's clear that he doesn't really have in depth understanding of the details of modern tactics. He said so himself that 4-4-2 is only way he knows how to play. His assistant Tord Grip was the real technical tactician while Svennis more went with simplicity, gut feeling and creating psycological harmony among the players which he was a genious at.

[@darkseidistheboss5781]

Agreed. Football is a simple game really. Erikson is a testimony of this - he is a calm friendly man, his role was man management. The players train all day all life from young age. They don't need tactical schemes and over the top planning. They just need clear vision, guidance and tranquility

9:30 Masterclass

[@Shaunography]

@@sneezylasagne8534 I'm an England fan and I agree. We had great midfielders so we should have played 4-3-3 in every game. But he played 4-4-2 to get the most out of Owen and Beckham. Owen needed to have a partner and would have been isolated in 4-3-3 and Beckham played best on the right in a 4-4-2. There was always a debate in England, "how do we get the best out of Gerrard and Lampard?" The answer was simple! play someone behind them, like Hargreaves, Carrick, or Scholes. Instead we had to see Fabio Capello trying ro play Gerrard in LM in a 4-4-2

[@BeachPleased]

@@Shaunography how to get the best out of Gerrard and Lampard? just let Scholes dictate the game and one of them could sit on the bench as supersub

The match before, England defeated by Germany 0-1 in London. The only way to reach the world cup final with Germany (as leader group) ini japan, England should win this match. The pressure was so big to the three lion. People think England would be defeated again. But, several days before, Liverpool (European League winner) won against Bayern Munich (champion League winner) at european super cup. England played so similar like how Liverpool defeate Munich. Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, and Emile heskey are the star on both match!

[@faizaanfarookee7418]

Boi Boi the football England played was so so so boring and mediocre. The team never looked like scoring- I guess people expected more and a team which didn’t let matches go to penalties.

[@Retrostar619]

Because he played Paul Scholes out of position on the left, kept with a rigid 4-4-2 and didn't have the common sense to play Hargreaves as a DM, dropping either Lampard or Gerrard. His strategy was to shove as many big-name players as possible into a conventional formation and hope for the best, thereby removing the need to make any hard decisions. He's a massive grifter.

[@regiment589]

@@Retrostar619 He played Scholes as CM in 2002 (played at this position during Hoddle and Keegan tenure also) and underachieved, useless in QF vs Brazil. Gerrard and Lampard were overrated and didnt care about England. Worse generation and players compare to Hoddle, Barnes, Waddle, Gascoigne, Platt etc.

[@Al-ji4gd]

@@Retrostar619 Sir Alex Ferguson also played Scholes out on the left, so what? Suddenly you English clowns think you know better than a manager who has been there and done that with teams and players far better than what England had to offer. England's failures had nothing to do with Sven, they were simply not good enough. They weren't better than Portugal, or Germany, or Italy, or France, or Holland, let alone the two South American big boys. Anyone who knows anything about football knows that playing one player slightly out of position is not fatal to your plans, and the quality of the player comes out at the end of the day. If you England truly failed because Scholes was left-mid, then they were never that good to begin with.

[@Al-ji4gd]
