    Just for some context for fans not following Swedish football and media.

    There has been a lot of criticism against Jane the last couple of years from a lot of different persons regarding the old squad he uses.

    This isn’t the first time young talents don’t get a chance. Many that have dual passports have chosen other countries teams to play for

      This is exactly what happened with the danish team under Morten Olsen. Huge talent like Fischer and Andreas Christensen never got picked.

      I don’t miss that man.

    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.

    I do enjoy all the non-swedish people in here calling him cocky and arrogant from one out of context quote, where they havent even been keeping up with the story.

    r/soccer for you

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

      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.

    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.
