Swedish media warning: Isak and Gyökeres pair against Netherlands
Swedish media have warned the Netherlands after the team's opening match win over Tunisia, particularly in reference to their dangerous striker duo Isak and Gyökeres.
Swedish media has praised the Swedish team's performance in its first World Cup match against Tunisia on Monday. Swedish coach Graham Potter's team played brilliantly as they prepare for the upcoming match against the Netherlands on Saturday. The Swedish team proved its strength by defeating Tunisia in Monterrey, Mexico.
Aftonbladet wrote, "Welcome to dreamland. It was clear it was in Mexico, it's called Monterrey. You can sleep in Sweden again. It will all still be there when you wake up." The newspaper also said that "No team wants to face Sweden in this World Cup."
The Swedish team's strikers Alexander Isak and Victor Jockeres scored goals in this match, due to which they were warned against the Netherlands.
Dagen Nyheter said, "It was no dream – it was a dream debut. Sweden showed how dedicated they are to each other, and their striker duo is already in top form."
Expressen noted that Sweden returned to the World Cup after eight years, and now they are playing with their full strength. Alexander Isak said after the match, "It would be strange to say that this victory was easy, because we worked very hard for it."
Sweden next face the Netherlands, which is 38th in the FIFA rankings, on Saturday in Houston.
