Tournaments-Part 6 – Scania 100 (1991)

In June 1991, Sweden hosted a mini Tournament featuring themselves with Italy, Denmark and USSR as guests.
This was in preparation for the following year’s UEFA European Championships that they would be hosting.
The hosts had been under the stewardship of Tommy Svensson since the conclusion of the 1990 World Cup, the previous summer. He had taken over after Olle Nordin’s departure following a dismal showing at the World Cup.
He could no longer call upon retired Captain Glenn Hysen, but had still retained some old hands such as Peter Larsson, Thomas Ravelli and Roland Nilsson.
The team was now skippered by Jonas Thern and featured the attacking threats of young strikers Tomas Brolin, Martin Dahlin and Kennet Andersson.
Anders Limpar was seen as their star after helping Arsenal triumph in the English League (though he would miss the Tournament through injury).
Not much was expected of neighbors Denmark. In the previous Fall, Team stars, the Laudrup brothers (Michael and Brian) as well as midfielder Jan Bartram had left the squad after disagreements with the Manager Richard Moeller-Nielsen over his tactics. Moeller-Nielsen had taken over in 1990 after the decade plus long reign of Sepp Piontek. His tactics were seen as more defensive in contrast to the free flowing Football of Piontek years.
In addition, key defender Jan Heintze had been suspended by the Federation after leaving the Team Camp prior to a qualifier.
Other missing players included the foreign-based duo of Henrik Larsen and Flemming Povlsen. They were second in their European Championship Qualifying behind Yugoslavia and had more or less given up on qualification (….but that is another story).
The Soviets were also under new leadership since the end of the 1990 World Cup. Former Olympic squad Manager Anatoli Byshovets had taken over from Valeri Lobanovsky. The much younger squad was led by Alexei Mikhailichenko (Though he would also miss this Tournament through an injury). In addition Igor Dobovolsky was not released by his Spanish club Castellon.
The Team had just weeks earlier taken part in the ‘England Challenge Cup’ (featuring England, USSR and Argentina) and a European Championship qualifier vs. Cyprus in late May.
The Italians arrived demoralized with a dark cloud around them. The previous week they had lost a key European Championship qualifier at Norway (1-2), which had more or less ensured elimination from the following year’s Euro.
Incidentally, they were in the same qualifying Group as the Soviets that they were to meet in October in Moscow.
Italy Manager Azeglio Vicini’s dismissal seemed imminent after the Norway loss. Former AC Milan Manager Arrigo Sacchi who had resigned just weeks before was seen as the future National Team Manager in-waiting.
In addition, Italy’s 1990 heroes, Roberto Baggio and Salvatore Schillaci, had finished a nightmarish season with their club Juventus.
Baggio would miss this Tournament through injury and Schillaci was now down the pecking order as a striking option.

The Tournament kicked off on June 12th, with Italy taking on Denmark at Malmö.
Vicini gave a first start to young Torino midfielder Gianluigi Lentini, as well as a first cap to Genoa midfielder Gennaro Ruotolo.
The Italians were in general in control against the weaker Danes and deserved to win in regulation time. They could not make a breakthrough as the excellent Peter Schmeichel kept Denmark in the match.

Vicini decided to experiment on his strikers. In the second half Gianluca Vialli entered replacing his Sampdoria teammate Roberto Mancini.
Roma striker Ruggiero Rizzitelli also replaced Schillaci in this second half.
The match would go into extra time, but this double substitution would pay dividends.
In the extra time, Denmark finally cracked under the Italian pressure. In the 106th minute, Vialli (with his back to the goal) received a ball at the edge of the box and laid it on for Giuseppe Giannini. Giannini’s long-range shot took a deflection and fell for Rizzitelli who scored with an overhead kick.

Less than two minutes later, Rizzitelli won a ball in midfield and started a counterattack and gave the ball to Giannini.
Giannini released Nicola Berti on the right side, who sent in a low cross for Vialli to score.

The following day (June 13th), the hosts took on the Soviets at Göteborg.
Due to Limpar’s injury, Svensson pushed Brolin into his spot behind the striking duo of Dahlin and Kennet Andersson.
The Swedes dominated the first half and attacked from the start and Kennet Andersson headed against the bar as early as the 2nd minute. In the Fourth minute, the Swedes took the lead.

Soviet goalkeeper Cherchesov was unable to hold a cross from Thern from the right side and Brolin picked up the rebound.
The Soviets gradually improved in the second half.
In the 69th minute, they tied up the score through Sergei Yuran who picked a cross from Kulkov from the left side.

The match into extra time and after just a few minutes, the Soviets took the lead.
A cross from Kulkov from the right side touchline was volleyed towards the goalmouth. The Swedish deflected the ball back, but it fell for the unmarked Dimitri Kuznetsov who scored.

With six minutes left the Swedes tied up the match through Brolin again. A long cross from Mats Gren into the box, led to a weak clearance and Dahlin headed it towards Brolin who scored.
Just three minutes later, with time running out, the Soviets took the lead and won the match through a beautiful a low shot from outside of the box through Igor Korneyev.
Korneyev had come on in the second half for Mostovoi.

The Third place match took place on June 15th between the Swedes and Denmark in Norrköping.
The already demoralized Danes showed up without any motivation. They were able to resist for most of the first half before cracking up.
Just before halftime, Martin Dahlin got the ball in the center of the Danish half and headed straight towards the goal and shot past Schmeichel.

This opened the floodgates and made the match more open in the second half, as Denmark needed to score.
In the second half, Svensson pushed Brolin further up making him a third striker.
In the 53rd minute, Dahlin doubled Sweden’s lead. From the middle of the field, Thern sent a cross into the path of Dahlin who lobbed it over Schmeichel.
Just a few minutes later, in the 60th minute, the Swedes were awarded a penalty kick after Dahlin was fouled by Kent Nielsen in the box. Kennet Andesson scored from the ensuing spot kick.

In the 68th minute, Brolin rounded out the scoring and scored his third in the Tournament.
Thern released Dahlin from his own half headed towards the goal. Peter Schmeichel parried Dahlin’s advance, but his kick bounced back in the path of Brolin who immediately slotted it past him from outside of the box.
Afterwards Tommy Svensson was critical of Denmark’s style. He felt they had not come to play and were resorting to time wasting tactics.

The following day (June 16th), the Final between Italy and USSR took Stockholm. It was a match that perhaps both sides would have preferred to avoid, as they had to play one another on October 12th in Moscow as part of the Euro Qualifiers.
The Soviets (who were the leaders in Italy’s Euro Qualifying Group) had already come away with a scoreless tie with the Italians in Rome in the previous November. 
The Soviets took the lead in the 2nd minute through another long-range effort from Korneyev from outside of the box into the top right corner that Zenga had no chance to save.
Just before halftime, Italy tied up the score through a well-rehearsed move.

Roberto Mancini chipped his free kick over the Soviet wall and Giuseppe Giannini volleyed it home.
Before halftime the Soviets lost both Tsveiba and Galiamin to injuries and the pair were substituted.
The match ended in a (1-1) tie and went into penalty kicks. Gianluca Pagliuca, who had replaced Zenga in the second half came to Italy’s rescue and helped them triumph in the shoot-out.

This was Italy’s first win of any kind in a Tournament since the 1982 World Cup. For the Italians Franco Baresi had been his impressive self, while the young Lentini had also impressed. Though Schillaci was continuing his slide.
This victory did not mask their problems and Vicini knew his time was coming to a close.
On October 18th, 1991, Arrigo Sacchi would be named as Italy’s Manager after the scoreless tie with the same Soviets on October 12th had sealed Vicini’s fate.

The Soviets endured a Political Coup in a couple of months that ended them as an entity. When they participated the following year at the Euros, it was as CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States).
For the Swedes, this was the beginning stages of the Team that would finish Third in the 1994 World Cup. With a trio of Brolin, Dahlin and Kennet Andersson they knew they were covered in the goalscoring department.
What can be said of Denmark? No one who witnessed their displays would have imagined they would be winning the UEFA European Championships in Sweden the following summer (after not having even qualified).
Of course by then, Brian Laudrup would make a comeback and Povlsen was also available.
It was shortly after the end of this Tournament that the Yugoslavian conflict started and no one could foresee that it would directly affect Football History.
