French coach announced his departure, Italy s victory is not enough, Sweden can play Liverpool s version

Starting this week, the World Cup European qualifiers will continue to compete. In the second day's game, France, Sweden and other teams will start their first European qualifiers, and Deschamps suddenly announced their decision to leave the team. Italy, which missed the World Cup for two consecutive times, made Gattuso’s debut, and three-pointers are far from enough. Only by winning a big victory can you retain the opportunity to advance.

According to the rules, the top 12 groups in the European qualifiers will directly advance to the World Cup, and the second place will participate in the European play-offs. The first 6 groups will play their first qualifiers starting this week. In the early morning of Saturday, France, Italy and other giants appeared together, and Sweden is also worth noting. Premier League defending champion Liverpool may be able to get some inspiration from it. France in Group D has Ukraine, Iceland and Azerbaijan in the same group. A few years ago, Iceland scored into the European Cup and the World Cup, especially in the European Cup round of 16, which made the outside world's eyes shine. It seems that it has lost its "magic" in recent years. As long as you take it seriously, it is not very difficult for France to win the first place in the group.

In the past two weeks, France will face Ukraine and Iceland, and its first appearance in the European qualifiers is Ukraine. Coincidentally, the two teams were also in the same group in the last qualifiers, and both achieved unbeaten results. France won 5 and 3 draws, defeating Ukraine with 2 wins and 6 draws, and obtained direct qualifications, while both teams ended with a score of 1-1 at home and away.

Earlier, Deschamps suddenly announced at a press conference that he would definitely not stay here in September next year. It seems like he is saying goodbye. In fact, it is not just the last year of his coaching. Times are changing and we must adapt to changes. The French coach is about to leave the team. For Zidane, who has been waiting for many clubs, it brings more realistic meaning and life becomes full of motivation. Italy in Group I won’t have to wait. The coach has just been replaced and Gattuso will make his national team’s debut. Italy has completed two qualifiers, defeating Norway with three goals in the first game and a small victory over Moldova in the second game. With two games less, it is 9 points behind Norway and 12 goals behind in the goal difference. The situation in the group is quite serious.

Simply put, if Italy wants to win the first place in the group, it must defeat Norway at home in the last round, and at the same time strive for more goal difference among other opponents in the group, so that it is possible to reverse the situation of lagging behind. In the past two weeks, Gattuso will lead the team to face Estonia and Israel. It is obviously not enough to score three points. You must win a big victory, otherwise you will not be able to make a comeback even if you defeat Norway. There is no need to worry that due to the excellent performance of the UEFA Nations League, Italy can still be qualified for the European play-offs even if it cannot get to the top two in the group. Sweden in Group B is also worth noting. There are no traditional giants in the same group. Although the opponent is not weak, the chance of going straight to the World Cup is quite great. However, Liverpool may be very interested in Sweden and hope to get some inspiration.

Sweden is a typical team with a "top-heavy" team. The goalkeeper is Johnson from Stoke City in the English Championship. Lindelof has just terminated his contract with Manchester United and came to Aston Villa. There are not many well-known stars in the middle and backcourt. But look at the forward line, including Isaac who broke the Premier League transfer record, Arsenal's sky-high new player Tzekelish, Tottenham's Kulusevsky, and Newcastle's new player Elanga, what an enviable combination.

Some people say that since Ekitic was introduced, Isaac was not needed, and the two may not be able to coexist. However, Liverpool does not think so. The Swedish national team can play the version for Liverpool. Although Kulu is absent due to injury, it still requires some skills to match multiple strikers and how to achieve the effect of 1+1 or more than 2. The Swedish coach emphasized that there is no problem with Isak and Dzekelish, and the two can definitely coexist.

How did Deschamps perform in the last year and whether Italy can avoid falling into the playoffs are all the focus of attention in the future.
