Johan Esk: It’s time for Janne to realize the symbolic value of the team she leads

What a fucking joke. Another test. Incompetent people in wrong positions that stifle Swedish football ”.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic wrote on Twitter and then the story of Dejan Kulusevski’s “shock” went from not being able to start against France from a small headline to a yes.

This is not the first time that the greatest Swedish soccer player of all time, more or less openly, claims that the backgrounds of the players affect the current captain of the national team in his work.

Zlatan is not the only polemicist who has used players’ last names to claim that Janne Andersson is not doing his part to increase integration.

Janne Andersson is sometimes used and his national team to show the economic inequality.

Other times, Andersson and the players are symbols in the debate over why dictatorships are allowed to organize sports.

Janne Andersson generally has no problem sneaking past issues two and three, but that first question always puts him behind. Lie down in defense and say:

– I do not understand.

And that’s why it always adds:

– I take out the best players.

He becomes so frustrated, angular, and lost as if he’s been asked, “Have you stopped torturing your dog?”

Janne Andersson takes it for granted the players you think are the best, but it’s about time you realized that it’s not a regular sports team that you have.

This is not Halmstads BK. This is not IFK Norrköping.

This is a symbol.

The country’s biggest team in the world’s biggest sport has a landmark and symbolic value like no other in Swedish sports.

If players of immigrant origin are selected in favor of a player ending in -sson on this particular team, it is as easy as pulling out the segregation card. It is easy for those who want to say that it reflects how it is seen in society.

Whether it is true or not.

At some point, Janne Andersson can understand that too.

I don’t think of anything that Janne Andersson is excluded from the players because of her background, but her own background influences her choices. The game and the players it prioritizes might have looked different if it had come from a different football culture. We are all affected by our backgrounds in our elections.

Therefore, there are the integration problems that exist in both Swedish football and Swedish sports, especially on the management side. Leaders with different backgrounds and different points of view are needed in most federations and in most national team organizations.

For “incompetent people,” Janne Andersson and her assistants have, after all, been more successful with the national team than Sweden during Zlatan’s days.

It has also become a more open climate in the national team. The sad thing that can happen after Dejan Kulusevski’s spontaneous interview after only playing 20 minutes against France would be that Dejan stopped saying what he thinks and thinks.
