You have to question what Conte is doing; it is blatantly obvious Zlatan is the only proper threat Sweden has. By backing off the way the Italians have done all game they give the Swedes plenty of chances to get the ball to Zlatan. If they applied themselves a bit and put even a little bit of pressure on the Swedish back 4 they'd have the ball pretty much all the time, thus minimizing the opportunities for the Swedes to get the ball forward to Zlatan. Ireland did this much, much better.
