Tottenham fans will love what Dejan Kulusevski said to his Sweden teammates in the dressing room before going out onto the field to deliver a masterclass Azerbaijan.
Kulusevski once again donned the armband for Sweden and he delivered a real captain’s display as the home side dismantled Azerbaijan 6-0 in Stockholm on Tuesday.
The Tottenham man scored two, assisted one and had an important hand in another goal as the Azerbaijani defence could not cope with his movement and creativity.
The win ensured that Sweden finished top of League C, Group 1 of the Nations League, thus sealing promotion to League B for the next edition of the competition.
Being the leader of this young Sweden side, the Tottenham man was tasked with saying the final words in the huddle inside the dressing room before the side went out onto the pitch.
Kulusevski delivered a line that will be remembered for a long time, ending the huddle by stating “I’m hungry, let’s eat.”
Here’s the video that the Swedish national team shared of their captain’s words, followed by his heroics on the pitch:
Kulusevski is a natural leader and has demonstrated time and again that he has a winning mentality, always stepping up and delivering on the big stage.
The former Juventus man is undoubtedly one of the contenders to take over the armband at Tottenham when Heung-min Son eventually leaves. Perhaps there is a case for Ange Postecoglou to include Kulusevski in the leadership group.
