Tottenham attacker Kulusevski reveals Postecoglou inspiration for Sweden speech

Tottenham attacker Dejan Kulusevski has revealed he gave the pre-match speech ahead of Sweden's 1-0 win against Albania.

Kulusevski says he drew inspiration from Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou.

"(Jon Dal Tomasson) took me aside for a second and asked if I could talk and I said I'll solve it," he told Fotbollskanalen after the game. "Then I had to walk around thinking what to say, but it was fun. Maybe I'll have to take it again next time.

"I get inspiration from everything. the speech was from my coach in Tottenham. He is strong on it so I copied a little because I believe in what he says. I prepared that we have to play as a family because a family protects each other."

Tomasson said: "(It was) fantastic. He did very well.

"He talked about sticking together and us being a family.

"Dejan takes more and more responsibility. I like that. We need more of those players who take responsibility. Victor (Nilsson Lindelf) and Robin (Olsen) do it. But we need more players who do. It helps us in the end."
