Goals against Norway.
Now Anthony Ilanga is excited and excited to play from the start against Serbia.
– I feel very sharp, says the 20-year-old.
Manchester United Swedish shooting stars got a lot of attention last week.
Firstly, United released photos from an aspiring sports coaching the 20-year-old where the outsider showed off impressive physique and resilience.
Two days later, on Sunday against Norway, Ilanga jumped and scored his first goal in the national team, the reduction to 1-2 in overtime.
– My family was here and saw the good reactions. It was a dream to score a goal for Sweden, but in the end we lost the match, says Ilanga after training on Tuesday with Blagault at Friends.
The goal came against Norway in the third international match of Ilanga and the entry of Sweden. Now he feels ready to start Blagult for the first time.
How do you look?
– I feel good. I was sick the day before the away game against Slovenia, but now I am ready for the Serbia game. I am so excited to start the match. Ilanga says I feel very sharp today.
– But it is up to the leaders to decide to take out the team, says the Manchester United star. There is complete focus on Serbia only now and then I want revenge on Norway as well.
He comes from a personally successful season with Manchester United with three goals and two assists in 21 games, nine of them from the start in the Premier League and the Champions League, but also the most difficult year for the relegated club. Sixth place in the league.
– All teams have seasons like this. I think the next one will be better. At a club like Manchester United, there is a lot of pressure, you have to deal with it and be mentally strong.
Ilanga is looking forward to working with new coach Eric Ten Hag.
– Just to see what Eric did to Ajax. They play good football and he has helped many young players. I’m ready to play with him.
But with some sadness he saw players like Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba leave Manchester United.
– They meant a lot to me. Pogba is like an older brother to me. Victor (Nelson Lindelof) has also helped me a lot, both on the club team and the national team, he says Anthony Elanga.
