Fabio Capello labels Sweden’s captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the biggest threat to England
England boss Fabio Capello believes that the in-form AC Milan striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, will be the biggest threat to his team when they welcome Sweden for an international friendly match at Wembley Stadium.
Having defeated World Champions, Spain, in the last international friendly match, England now prepare for the next match against Sweden – a team which the Three Lions haven't beaten since 1968.
Though the Swedish squad does not have any big names when compared to England, they do have a very established striker in their ranks, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 – a player who has won a domestic league title every year with the club he has been since 2001.
Ibrahimovic, who will captain Sweden against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, is considered as one of the best strikers in the world. The 30-year-old has been in spectacular form for both club and country in the ongoing season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello signed Ibrahimovic from Ajax during his spell at Juventus and has good experience of working with the towering striker.
The 65-year-old hailed the quality of the talismanic Swedish striker and has asserted that the 30-year-old has the class to decide a high profile game with a moment of brilliance.
The Three Lions boss has stated that he is well aware of Ibrahimovic's qualities and has warned the English defenders to give their best performance in order to contain the Milan striker.
Capello told the reporters, "Ibrahimovic is a really good player who can decide a top-level game in a single moment. I bought him as Juventus manager and for this reason, I know how important he is for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015 and what a real danger he is for every opponent."
Moreover, Capello has also heaped praise on Sweden’s highly efficient organised game play and has stated that it will be much more difficult for England to overcome the opposition.
"They are really good and play in a very organised way. Everybody knows what they need to do in every moment of the game. It is a little country with a small population but it's always difficult to beat Sweden," Fabio Capello concluded.
England will be aiming for another win following their hard-fought victory against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011. The Three Lions are clear favourites to emerge victors at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday.
