In the first game of the European Cup, Spain and Sweden ended 0-0. In this game, the Spanish team almost occupied an absolute advantage, but it just couldn't score. Sweden, on the other hand, adopted a very conservative tactic and was bent on getting a point.

Spanish attack

Spain's possession rate reached 75% in the game, and it also completed 22 shots, but none of them were in the net. This is reminiscent of the Spanish team in the 20 10 World Cup in South Africa, which also has a very high possession rate, but it has been unable to create a threat in the opponent's restricted area.

In this game, the Spanish team's attack routine is relatively simple, mainly relying on the passing and breakthrough of the midfield to break through the opponent's defense. However, Sweden's defense is very tight, and the midfielder can't find a good ball outside the penalty area. In addition, Swedish goalkeeper Robin Olsen also performed well and saved the Spanish team's shot many times.

Sweden's defense

Sweden took a very conservative tactic in the game and was bent on getting a point. Their possession rate in the game was only 25%, but they finished eight shots, two of which were very close to scoring.

Sweden's defense is very tight. They adopted the tactics of 4 defenders +5 midfielders+1 forwards. The midfield defense is very active and often steals in the restricted area. Robin Olsen, the goalkeeper of Sweden, also performed well and saved the Spanish team's shot many times.
