The honeymoon is over for Alexander Isak and Dejan Kulusevsky.
Janne Andersson wants the duo to take on more responsibility in the national team.
– I’ll talk to the two of them about it, says the guild captain.
When Jan Anderson Team plea On Wednesday, the national team captain was clear that there must be more players taking responsibility as leaders on and off the field.
When it comes to leadership in the group, I hope more players will step up and take it upon themselves. There are a number of players who have played with many older and experienced players in the national team, but they are now 25-30 caps themselves. The players have taken on some responsibility but they should be able to take on more responsibility in the national team. “I think that’s going to be an important part for us,” Jan Anderson said.
Two of the players Jan Andersen has spoken mainly about are Swedish Premier League stars Alexander Isak, Newcastle and Dejan Kulusevsky, Tottenham. When the national team now meets on Monday, the captain reveals that he will have a chat with the duo.
– Usually, I don’t talk much about what we do internally. But in this case, I can say I’ll talk to Dejan and Alex together, because I think they have similar jobs and are on the same level in their careers, Anderson says.
They can add more.
Alexander Isak played 37 caps, Dejan Kulusevsky made his debut in Fall 2019 and played 25 caps before this group.
– It’s not based on the position of the claimant I’m going to say “Now you have to sharpen yourself” but it’s about depending on the people who they are and where they are in their career, they can add more and I want to push them to that. The desire to take up more space is generally, simply put, and I am absolutely convinced that they would gladly do so because they are that kind of guy, says Janne Andersson.
