    What more can a 17-year-old do to get called up?

    Grow and mature as a player (and as a person too it seems). You’re not guaranteed a national selection for being really good for a 17-year-old.

      Not like Sweden is some powerhouse football nation with talent growing out of their ears, especially creative ones

      The fact that the kid is really good at 17 is why he’s pissed that Sweden still hasnt picked him, especially since its dead rubber games with Sweden already being eliminated anyway

    Be one of the best players in your position regardless of age. He may be the best 17 year old Swedish midfielder but that doesn’t mean he can compete with 25 year olds

    He’s not being picked because our gaffer is an absolute joke and a failure. He’s got a long history of doing the absolutely worst thing at every possible turn, hopefully he will (FINALLY!) be gone soon.

        Yeah, it’s bizarre how long he’s managed to stick around. Looks like he’s finally going away now though, although much too late. Maybe we can finally go back to dunking on Denmark, this current state of affairs is both unnatural and unholy.

          While I agree that it is the right time to move forward and let Janne go, surely getting to the quarterfinals of a world cup buys you a lot of confidence. When do you think will be the next time a Swedish NT manages to do that? I doubt that it will be within the next 20 years myself.

    the swedish media hates Janne so they desperately drag these answers out of players. This is nothing to read into at all

      Not only the media. He should’ve been fired once he missed his first major tournament. Now it’s a missed World Cup, a missed Euros and relegation to Nations League C division. On top of that he’s also an asshole most of the time. The hate is well earned.

      Not to jolly engage in Manager bashing but maybe they have their reasons? Some dude said a lot of the younger guys who have parents from different nationalities have given up waiting to play for their homeland bcz this dude kinda just sticks to the same old players. The boys give up on being called and accept the call up for a different country. If I was Swedish I would be fuming at Janne over this lol. I mean, it happened in Brazil like once with Diego Costa choosing Spain and it became a national crisis lol.

        2 people have and one of them is very average. But I disagree nonetheless. Players shouldn’t be picked just to be locked in.

    Gotta up your game, young man, everyone needs to have dirty clothes of the manager, or being engaged to the manager’s daughter
