“Simon Bank: He has traveled far to get here”

“Back at Friends – the Line of blue has gone full circle.”

“a Little jog, a little stretch, a little fnissigt kladdande with the ball out there in the marskylan.”

“Where is Alexander Isaac, 19, in a landslagsoverall.”

“did you hear a sobbing sound from Solna now? Something that sounded like swallowed nostalgigråt?”

“A few minutes after twelve släntrade Robin Quaison and Alexander Isaac, in at the Friends Arena again. The line of blue has gone full circle, via Palermo and Dortmund, Mainz and Tilburg. “

“– If it is specifically I do not know. But it is fun. I know what he can, I’m not surprised that he is here, ” said Robin.”

“– the Last time we were here together was with AIK. It means a lot to me, ” said Alexander.”

“We can, of course, this tisdagsträningarna with the national team now, untargeted koncentrationsträningar that most are used to synchronize the worn fotbollskroppar. We would be able to draw of the training half way into the hypnagoga phase: Sebastian Larsson, Andreas Granqvist pulls away in order to cultivate friendship and to beat the bredsidespassningar, the physiologist Paul Balsom pack up their elastic bands, the goalkeeper pulls away in his corner of tormenting each other for a while, Ludwig Augustinsson perform every movement with the same accuracy as if he stood on a loose rope between two skyscrapers. And so it is the square of the crosswise and lengthwise. The most fun thing you can do is to investigate who stick to the rehab-training right this time (Albin Ekdal, Jakob Johansson; Filip Helander) and who think it is okay to wear a hat on the training (Gustav Svensson, Jimmy Durmaz, always Emil Forsberg).”

“But this time we looked at Alexander and Isaac. In landslagsoverall.”

“”Took over without blinking””

“It feels a little ridiculous to talk about his journey back to the Friends Arena, for it sounds like it took a long time. The freezer is in Dortmund, reservlage, Regionalliga, medieskugga.”

“But Alexander Isaac, is therefore nineteen years.”

“If there is a schedule so he is in any case not delayed.”

“When he was released out of the BVB-the cage, he took over Dynamo Kiev-sold From Sol målmaskinsmantel without blinking. He has already begun to challenge a series of tonårsrekord in the Willem II, a extremungt team with a coach (Adrie Koster), who is accustomed to working with young people. “

“Sometimes you can (I) get the impression that it is enough to be able to lace on a pair of pretty new shoes to be able to do half a dozen goals per season in the Eredivisie, a league where the players are vaccinated against defense two times a year. But when Alexander Isaac ran like butter through Feyenoord (the first time Willem II have ever scored three goals on Sunday against PSV, Ajax or Feyenoord), it was a picture of something else.”

“the Talent from then, the technical teleskopbenen but on an adult body.”

“there is No difference, all the difference in the world.”

“– a Little faster, a little better finishing ability. Seven-eight pounds more.”

“”A nested promise from the past””

“Alexander Isaac has ended up in a safe, calm Tilburg-the environment, he has got to play football again and he has done the objective again. And he is here now, as a nested promise from the past.”

“When he left the Solna received the AIK a suitcase full of gold, which gave the basis to a national CHAMPIONSHIP, Feyenoord wanted him then but couldn’t afford it, and that says a lot about what kind of fotbollslöfte he wore on. “

“It’s still alive, even if it’s not something you can see an unsorted tisdagsträning in march. He was careless with bolltouchen in a couple of wall passes, had one or a couple of nice trades, but above all, he has received a nod from the coach: Alexander Isaac, is enough future to get the spot now.”

“of course, It is doubtful if a nineteen year old with a couple top striker in the vest will mean something in the matches against Romania and Norway, but on another level means he is already very much. The national team will not – in any case not under these coaches – inventing any wheels, they’re not going to shock the world with a new way to play. The development potential is in the players, that someone is taking the big step, someone comes from below and give them properties or levels they’ve been missing.”

“He jogs a little, he stretched, he giggles and sticky with the ball. “

“He’s back at home, he has traveled far to bring it all the way here. It will be extremely interesting to follow the journey from here onwards.”
