Petter Hansson should get up front more often

June 10th, 2008 •  Permalink 

Just been skimming the heat maps after Swedens confident 2-0 victory over current champions Greece, and noticed that Petter Hansson’s particular journey across the pitch was rather amusing. Take a look at the graph, provided by the Castrol Index, below which shows that despite the fact he *ahem* belted home that weak dribbling effort to give Sweden their second goal (or at least fell over the defender anyway), he barely spent any time at all in the Greek half, let alone their penalty area.

Go and have a look at the handsome blonde’s profile over on footymad euros site, and, if you’re scandinavian - have a drink for him on us.

What we’re wondering though is - perhaps he should get forward a little more often! Well done Sweden…
