Ljungberg meant that Sweden could not handle Kosovo's match plan in the World Championship qualifying match in Pristina. It was, according to him, to deceive the Swedish defense high up in the pitch, to then reorganize and counter.
It was crystal clear from the start and we have huge problems, he says in Viaplay during the half-time break.
Kosovo won 2–0 after Augsburg midfielder Elvis Rexhbecaj made it 1–0 by putting in his own rebound after a transition. Mallorca striker Vedat Muriqi made it 2–0 with a nice finish in the 42nd minute, also after a counterattack.
After the match, Ljungberg was still critical and questioning about the Swedish performance. Both defensively and offensively.
What the hell is going wrong? he says rhetorically in Viaplay and continues:
I am very disappointed. I may be a boring old player, boring old coach, but I try to look at the reasons. It's tough.
