Norwich City’s Swedish duo bid for World Cup glory The Canaries’ duo will have a prominent role in Stockholm tonight as the Swedes bid to overturn a 1-0 first leg deficit against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal. The Real Madrid superstar’s late header separated the sides in Lisbon last week, but Swedish coach Erik Hamren believes Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Elmander can still fire his country to the finals in 2014. “There were too many long balls to Johan and Zlatan on Friday and we didn’t have the energy to support the attack. We’ve got to have more quality when we win the ball,” said Hamren. “We need to score, that’s for sure. It’s not Ronaldo versus Zlatan, it’s Portugal versus Sweden. They can play more for the result, they have an advantage in that. We meet a really good team with really good international players so we can’t start the match and just go forward and have the ambition to score easy and early because then they’re going to punish us quickly.” (PKU) @cool
