SOUNDBITE 1 - Peter Gerhardsson, Sweden coach (male, Swedish, 26 sec): "Well, we'll see, as always we have three captains, as we've said. (Caroline) Seger, Magdalena (Eriksson), and (Kosovare) Asllani. So one of those three will be captaining tomorrow, I can guarantee that. Situation is good, in the sense that everyone except from Seger was training today." 6. SOUNDBITE 2 - Peter Gerhardsson, Sweden coach (male, Swedish, 33 sec): "Like so many others, I think Japan has played really well at this competition, but you know, you always play different forms of opposition, and if you look at Zambia, Costa Rica, and Spain and Norway, they're all very different teams, so it is very difficult to say. There is an enormous skill in their passing game, that they have showed, but tactically they have also been very flexible." 7. SOUNDBITE 3 - Peter Gerhardsson, Sweden coach (male, English, 26 sec): "I think our defending has been very good, during this tournament, and that's also including the goalkeeper. We have only lost one goal against South Africa, and I think that's self-confidence, but tomorrow is another team, another challenge for us. So I think it's going to be interesting." 8. SOUNDBITE 4 - Amanda Ilestedt, Sweden defender (female, Swedish, 21 sec): "[on playing Japan] Well we have talked about that, of course, they are very skilled when you give them time in possession, and they are very good at finding openings, so we have to be very vigilant about that, trying to go man-to-man and we're very good at that." 9. SOUNDBITE 5 - Amanda Ilestedt, Sweden defender (female, English, 26 sec): "I think they are a really good team, they are good tactically and technically. I think we mentioned it in Swedish, but they are really, I think they have developed their speed in front, they are using the space behind the backline a lot more than when we played them two years ago in the Olympics. That's something that we have to be prepared on tomorrow." 10. SOUNDBITE 6 - Magdalena Eriksson, Sweden defender (female, English, 29 sec): "There's a lot of things to stop them, you have to be switched on for the whole game, because I think Japan is a really good team, if you give them something, they will exploit it. If you stand too high with your line, they're going to exploit you in behind. If you're too passive, they're going to exploit you in front. So I think you have to be switched on, and prepared for, anything can happen, and you have to constantly adjust your positioning based on what they're doing." 11. SOUNDBITE 7 - Magdalena Eriksson, Sweden defender (female, English, 32 sec): "I think the most impressive thing about the Japanese team, is that it doesn't really matter who's on the end of the attack, it's how they build their attacks as a team together. They are so in-sync, and they play really, have a really clear style of play. So whoever ends the attack isn't the most threatening thing, I think the whole team is the threat, and you have to be ready that runs can come from anywhere, and they will never stop, and they are really good at combining together and moving off each other." /// ----------------------------------------------------------- AFP TEXT STORY: Japan and Sweden brace for ultimate clash of styles at World Cup By Andy SCOTT =(Picture+Video)= Auckland, Aug 10, 2023 (AFP) - Japan are the revelation of the Women's World Cup but they must brace themselves for the ultimate clash of styles when they face Sweden in the quarter-finals at Eden Park on Friday. The only side left in the tournament who have won the World Cup before, 2011 champions Japan have surged into the last eight with 14 goals scored in four games and one conceded. One of the few teams to have lined up with three centre-backs, they have been devastating on the counterattack, surgical with their passing in behind the opposition defence and clinical in the final third. In Hinata Miyazawa they have the leader in the race for the golden boot with five goals. Sweden have built their success on a solid defence that has also let in just one goal, in their opening game against South Africa. Physically they are a handful for opponents and they are particularly dangerous at set-pieces. Zecira Musovic meanwhile produced arguably the best performance of any goalkeeper at the competition as Sweden eliminated holders the United States on penalties in the last 16. "This won't be like the physical game we had against the USA. It will be a lot more technical and fast-paced," Sweden coach Peter Gerhardsson told reporters on the eve of the match in Auckland. "When we get possession we will need to move the ball quickly and make the most of our physical advantage." The most striking difference between the teams is in that physicality. The average height of the Sweden side that started against the US was six centimetres (more than two inches) taller than the Japan team which lined up for their 3-1 win over Norway in the last round. Amanda Ilestedt, the centre-back who has scored three goals so far, and Barcelona forward Fridolina Rolfo both tower over any Japanese player at 1.78m (5ft10) tall. - 'Very aggressive' - If Sweden are physical, Japan's approach is anything but. They have conceded just 20 fouls in total, fewer than any other team left in the tournament, and have not picked up a single yellow or red card. Sweden have given away 58 fouls, more than anyone else. "They are fast, very aggressive and tall, so we have to be prepared to deal with that first and foremost," said Japan coach Futoshi Ikeda. The teams met in the semi-finals of the 2011 World Cup in Germany, with Japan coming from behind to triumph 3-1 on the way to lifting the trophy. Of more relevance, however, might be their encounter at the Tokyo Olympics two years ago, which Sweden won 3-1 before going on to lose the gold medal match on penalties to Canada. "Japan have really refined parts of their game since then, especially their counter-attack. Now they are very quick and whenever they get the chance to go forward, they do so," said Sweden's defensive stalwart Magdalena Eriksson. "At the time, in Tokyo, they were more about possession, so now they have added that dimension to their game." Eriksson, who recently joined Bayern Munich from Chelsea, was quizzed about how she and her central defensive partner Ilestedt would stop the pacy Miyazawa from adding to her goals tally. "The most impressive thing about the Japanese team is that it doesn't really matter who is on the end of their attacks," she said. "They are all in sync and have such a clear style of play. The whole team is the threat." The winners of Friday's game will stay in Auckland for a semi-final against Spain or the Netherlands next Tuesday. as/pst -------------------------------------------------------------
