In a European preliminaries match early this morning, the Nordic powerhouse Sweden lost 2-0 to Poland and missed the World Cup. The result of this game also shows how fierce the competition in the European region is. As the top 8 team in the last World Cup, Sweden's strength has not declined too much in recent years, but this time in the European region, it finally failed to qualify. .
Poland and Sweden both participated in the last World Cup. The Swedish team reached the top 8 in one fell swoop without Ibrahimovic, which is impressive. In this away game against Poland, the 41-year-old veteran Ibrahimovic also traveled with the team, but he did not get a starting chance, but sat on the bench. Poland's top star Lewandowski started the game and served as the team's single arrow .
Forty-five minutes before the game, the two sides were evenly matched. Just 3 minutes into the second half, the game changed dramatically. The Polish player Krehowiak was knocked down when he got the ball. ! In the 72nd minute, the Swedish defender Danielsen made a mistake in stopping the ball in the backcourt, and Zelinsky scored a single goal to expand the score! Ibrahimovic came off the bench in the 80th minute, but was unable to change the situation. In the end, Sweden was out and Poland became the 24th team to qualify for the World Cup.
And after this exit, it means that Ibrahimovic's dream of scoring goals in the World Cup is completely broken! Ibrahimovic had previously participated in the 2002 and 2006 World Cups, but he did not score goals. Since then, he has been missed from the World Cup. Although the Swedish team entered the World Cup in 2018, Ibrahimovic had withdrawn from the national team at that time and did not follow suit. Team expedition. 0 goals in the World Cup has always been a knot in Ibrahimovic's heart, but this time, he still has no chance to break it. After another 4 years, it is almost impossible for the 41-year-old Ibrahimovic.
