Swedish soccer stars agree: give Zlatan the golden ball.

This year there will be no football gala. But the Aftonbladet Ballon d’Or will still be awarded.

The question is who?

– For me, it’s not a joke, says Albin Ekdal when asked to the Swedish soccer stars.

Alexander Isaac, 21, front, Real society

– It is clear that there are others that are relevant, but I think that Zlatan understands it, that is my feeling.

Kristoffer Olsson, 25, midfielder, Krasnodar

– It has been a very strange season for everyone, and it can really only be judged in six months. But if you look at what Zlatan has done, he probably wins. There are many who have done very well and are part of the discussion.

Viktor Claesson, 28, midfielder, Krasnodar

– If you have to look at the one who has done it the most individually, it is Zlatan. So I don’t know exactly what it says in the criteria, if you should have helped the national team to a certain extent, maybe someone else is closer.

Robin quaison, 27, forward, Mainz

– I say Zlatan. I don’t think any justification is needed.

– He puts balls, he has taken Milan to the top again, he is still one of the hottest players in the world. So, for me, it’s not a joke.

Dejan Kulusevski20, forward, Juventus

– Happen. I don’t care but the favorite is probably Zlatan. I think he wins and he deserves it.

– If you look at the performance, it is not a question, then I think Zlatan should have it.

– Zlatan or Vigge (Nilsson Lindelöf) deserve it.

If not Zlatan, could it be Victor Nilsson Lindelöf who wins the golden ball?

– Zlatan is a name for the golden ball with his achievements.

Jordan larsson, 23, forward, Spartak moskva

– Zlatan Ibrahimovic. We have a lot of good players in Sweden, but who is 39 years old, plays in Milan and does what he does… It cannot be expressed in words. I definitely think I should have it, and I think there are many who agree with me.

Do you play soccer when you are 39 years old?

– Haha, I hope so. If you can do it, that’s fine. We will get back to you in a few years and see.

Marcus danielson, 31, defender, Dalian Pro

– I say Victor Nilsson Lindelöf. He has remained strong at Manchester United and has become an even more important player there. He is a very important player in the national team and I am impressed by what he has achieved.

Jens cajuste, 21, midfielder, Central jutland

– I don’t think I have enough experience to answer that question, unfortunately.

Sebastian Larsson, 35, midfielder, AIK

– I haven’t even thought about it… There are a couple of candidates: Emil Forsberg has returned and has shown great form, Dejan (Kulusevski) and his season in Italy and the achievements of Zlatan in Italy. There are three candidates of mine.
