What does the new Scotland manager Sebastien Pocognoli say about his squad and tactics before kickoff?
It's game day. And this is the home of Scottish football. It's Clyde One Super Scoreboard.
Good afternoon and welcome to Clyde One Super Scoreboard on a bright new dawn for the Scotland national team. The Sebastian Pocognoli era begins with a Nations League trip to Slovenia. Not only a new face in the dugout, though, there's some new players and some returning players as well. After three major tournaments for the first time in a generation, let's find out what is next. I'm Gordon. Duncan and joining me in the studio you've got Gordon Dell, Tony Watt, and Hugh Evans.
New man in charge. Old demands for the team. We're up against a side who didn't qualify for the World Cup in the United States of America, haven't won any of their last four games, three draws and a defeat, and they're without their best player, the giant Manchester United striker, Benjamin Sesco from Old Trafford. What could possibly go wrong for Poccanioli Daz?
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Um we'll hear the team uh it's coming in to play this afternoon, Gordon. I like it, freshness, new guys in, different formation, what style of football, good pace about it, good energy, are the goals there? I hope so. I'm looking forward to this new era.
Yeah, I'm uh puzzing for Sorry. I think that bit of technical difficulty there. Uh I think it's as good a team as he could pick. The midfield three for me is really exciting. There's legs in the team and there's also ball players at the back with physicality and then two up front. He's trying to score goals and I'm very happy with that.
Yeah, we're looking forward to it greatly, aren't we? After a long time in international wilderness, we were back with three major tournaments out of four. But then everyone started looking for the next step. How do you go better? How can you go deeper into these tournaments? Can you do it with a bit more swagger and a bit more style? And upstepped Sebastian Pocognoli, the new manager, the man charged with taking over Stevie Clark and taking on to that next stage. Shoe cavens. For so long a new manager would come in and have to rescue us from rock bottom, try and answer the questions about will we ever get to a major tournament again? This is a bit more about building on what's already there and maybe freshening things up.
He's made a good start. I think if you play Ewer and McBurney up front, then you're doing what the fans would have done. So that's a good idea to start with. He does have the advantages of Slovenia being in a barren period, didn't qualify for the last World Cup, haven't won any of the last four games, they've got a new manager as well. So a little bit away from home, the Odds do favour Scotland, I think, and the one thing that Pocagnoli needs ahead of the home game at Hamden against Switzerland in midweek is A positive, in other words, winning start.
Yeah, let's give you that team because it is different in terms of shape. There's a couple of new faces to debuts in the squad as well, and then some or one in particular, returning face, if you like. So Angus Gunn continues in goal. I don't think there is any surprise there. Here's the first big change. We go back to a back three. Now it is something Steve Clark did at times, but latterly, and certainly at the World Cup it was a back four. So the back three today is gonna be Jack. Hendry, Scott McKenna, so two familiar names in there, and then a new face, a debut, a first ever Scotland cap for Stephen Welsh. Brought up at Celtic, was a revelation on loan at Mullerwell last season and has now gone to Swansea and has continued his form there.
So he comes into the back three. The wingbacks again very familiar. The captain, Andy Robertson, as he closes in on Kenny Dalgleish's cap record, goes to the left, and Aaron. Hickey on the right hand side. Lewis Ferguson, maybe the best player at the World Cup. He's in midfield alongside Billy Gilmore, who missed the tournament due to injury just in front of them. It's the Aston Villa skipper and often tartan army hero John McGinn, and then the bit that probably grabs the headlines. 'Cause it's not a debut but it is a significant return for Ollie McBurney up front and alongside a man who is in for the first time in Robbie.
