Now it is clear. Dejan Kulusevski, 22, and Fridolina Rolfö, 29, have been awarded the finest individual prizes for Swedish footballers; The Gold Ball and the Diamond Ball respectively.
Dejan Kulusevski has taken the Premier League by storm since his arrival at the English big club Tottenham in January. The 22-year-old has become a fan favorite and taken the team’s offense to the next level.
In total, he has accounted for six goals and 13 assists in the league this year. In addition to his success in the club team, Spångasonen has also grown into a key player in the Swedish national team, where the goal against Slovenia stands out. It is the first time the outside midfielder has been awarded the award.
Fridolina Rolfö receives the diamond ball for the second year in a row. The 29-year-old from Kungsbacka moved from Wolfsburg to Barcelona last summer, and has since been a given player at the Catalan club. Among other things, she was retrained from forward to left back with the new coach Jonathan Giráldez.
In the Guardian’s list of the 100 best women’s players, Rolfö ended up in 19th place.
During the year, she managed to take Barca to a Champions League final and the Swedish national team to the quarter-finals of the football championship.
