Dejan Kulusevski speaks out on dressing room turmoil as Tottenham star refuses to pick sides
A feud between Sweden’s head coach Jon Dahl Tommason and midfielder Hugo Larsson has dominated headlines in the international break, with captain Dejan Kulusevski now breaking his silence
Dejan Kulusevski has spoken out on Sweden’s dressing room turmoil by calling the drama “unnecessary”. The spur winger refused to pick sides in a bitter feud which has erupted between Sweden national team manager Jon Dahl Tomasson and young midfielder Hugo Larsson over the past week.
Larsson, 20, was an unused substitute in last Thursday’s Nations League clash with Azerbaijan, which Sweden won 3-1. Manager Tomasson critiqued the Eintracht Frankfurt star publicly by saying he wanted him to be better and to make more forward passes.
That’s something Larsson took issue with, venting to reporters that the legendary Denmark striker should have addressed him in private rather than air his shortcomings. Following a meeting, Larsson was sent home from the national team camp ahead of Sweden’s 3-0 win over Estonia on Sunday, with the official reason given by Sweden being that he had suffered a minor injury or discomfort.
But German outlets via Footballskanalen
claimed Larsson was in fact sent home because of the rift – something which Tomasson denies. And the focus remained on the spat even in spite of their dominant victory, which was sealed by a Viktor Gyokeres double and a goal from Alexander Isak.
Tottenham ace and acting Sweden captain Kulusevski commented on the saga: “Sometimes in the family there is a bit of a problem. You don’t have to think the same thing all the time. The most important thing is that we are here to play football.
“It doesn’t affect us negatively, it’s just unnecessary but it happens and you just have to move on. I’m here if Hugo wants to talk.”
