When striker Isac Lidberg, who lives in Darmstadt, Germany, was called up to the national team, it was clear. Childhood friends Lidberg and Gyökeres, who went to school together, will both play in the blue and yellow jersey.
Nor is Lidberg the only friend Gyökeres has in the national team. He and Jesper Karlström are also close friends after playing together in Brommapojkarna.
Karlström is fascinated by how Gyökeres seems to handle the successes. He highlights how he reacted after scoring a hat-trick against Manchester City.
– He knows he is the best, that is the mentality he has, says Karlström.
– He thinks more that it’s nice to score three goals, it’s not euphoria, says Karlström and laughs.
