Sweden’s hope of remaining in Group A in the Nations League lives on to a very high degree after a 2-1 win over Croatia. The big player of the match was Dejan Kulusevski.
The Juventus star was responsible for a class action lawsuit in connection with the goal when he turned down a Croatian defender and made it 1-0.
– It was a good match. It was great to win because it was necessary and it was good that I scored goals to help the team win. So I’m satisfied with my effort and with that of the team, says the scorer afterwards.
In relation to the goal, the new shooting star of the national team represented a new goal gesture.
– The goal gesture means only the number 44, nothing else, says Kulusevski and smiles.
Kulusevski usually plays on the edge but he also has a chance at Juventus in attack alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. Against Croatia, Peter Wettergren and Janne Andersson opted to let Dejan play in attack alongside Marcus Berg.
“A fantastic player”
– In fact, I feel better downtown. When I play away, I have a lot of freedom to get in the middle, but I also felt free in the position I had against Croatia. I get an incredible amount of help from behind and from Marcus Berg, which means I can do what I’m good at. The more central I play, the more things come to mind. I can combine because I am always close to the goal, he says.
What do you say about the collaboration with Emil Forsberg?
– It was good and it will be even better. Emil is a fantastic player and he is easy to play with. We were able to see samples today and it will get better.
Emil Forsberg agrees and enjoys playing with Kulusevski.
– It felt good. We had good changes of position, when I went down I could stay higher in the field. I think we understand each other well and we try to play two-touch with combination games and it promises a lot. It just builds on that.
– With Kulusevski we get a player who takes the ball forward, looks for combinations and dares. It’s fun and what we need. You are not afraid to take matters into your own hands and that is correct.
