Quotes:
‘I have not seen so many Swedish players who have dared to do their thing. It’s starting now, but before Zlatan, there were not many players who were as fun to watch. Now we have, for example, Dejan Kulusevski, Alexander Isak, and Anthony Elanga is coming too. These players dare to do their thing on the field, they have that little extra. I also consider myself a player who has that little extra.’
