Croácia 2009 - Jogo Táctico: Fast-paced play to pave the way to success

Depois da surpresa da Espanha e da Rússia fora da corrida pelo título, e neste dia de paragem, fica aqui ilustrado o jogo atacante rápido com apoio da Suécia!

"Two great surprises put an end to the preliminary round of the 2009 WCh in Croatia. Olympic bronze medallists Spain suffered a narrow defeat to Korea to miss their qualification for the main round similar to Russia, which lost to FYR Macedonia. The main round groups are thus composed as follows: France, Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, Sweden and Korea will play in Zagreb while Germany will meet Poland, FYR Macedonia, Denmark, Norway and Serbia in Zadar. The remaining teams will compete for the President's Cup and ranks 13 - 24."

Match: Sweden - Spain
The newly composed team of Sweden showed a complete concept in the first clash of the Split preliminary round to surprise the spectators and their opponent alike: a very effective cooperation between the goalkeeper and the defence (6:0), their resolute fast-paced play in any stage and the attack concept including a variaty of opening actions paved the way to success against favourites Spain.
67 % of scoring efficiency (Spain attained 47%) - there is nothing more to add. Centre-back Dalibor Doder had quick and variable shots in store to surprise the Spanish defence and to score 11 goals, which brought him the top-scorer crown of the match (scoring efficiency was 85%).
124 attacks recorded prove that both teams backed on a resolute fast-paced play. Sweden's quick switching from defence posed quite a problem for Spain's movement back. Added to this is the very good positioning of players during the 2nd and 3rd wave of the counter-attacks. The picture row is to show Sweden's quick switching to benefit from a short-time 6:5 superiority from the 2nd wave to gain tactical advantage.
