Dejan Kulusevski of Tottenham Hotspur contributed an assist in Sweden’s 1-0 friendly victory over Albania on Monday.
It was Sweden’s first victory under new manager Jon Dahl Tomasson, who took over after the national team’s 5-2 loss against Portugal the previous week.
The Tottenham player reportedly delivered a “fiery speech” in the locker room prior to the match against Albania, according to Football Direkt.
The winger, who participated in the entire 90 minutes, said that Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou served as an inspiration for him to inspire his teammates.
I followed suit, imitating my Tottenham coach, Angele Postecoglou. “I’ll try it again next time because I think the boys enjoyed it,” he remarked.
The national coach has now disclosed a small information regarding what the 23-year-old said, however he did not disclose all of it. He is happy that the Spurs player has assumed greater accountability for the national team.
Dejan is assuming greater and greater accountability. That’s nice. More players who accept responsibility are what we need. That’s what Robin Olsen and Victor Lindelöf are doing. More players who do it, though, are needed. In the end, it benefits us.
Kulusevski is clearly pleased with Sweden’s recent victory, but he has expressed dissatisfaction with the home team’s lack of support. in Gothenburg.
The Tottenham attacker urged Sweden’s supporters to support their national team in great numbers in an interview with Football Channel Sweden.
It’s really depressing. It seems very tragic to me. I believe that this is something that we should all accomplish together. Everyone wants to see Sweden play well and rank among the best in the world, and assisting the players will help you achieve that goal. It doesn’t help to merely criticize without offering assistance. Therefore, it would be good to gather everyone and ask for assistance,” Kulusevski continued.
