Ayari shines again: "I go out and do my thing"

Super trio Viktor Gyökeres, Alexander Isak, and Dejan Kulusevski receive a lot of attention in the national team. But behind that trio, central midfielder Yasin Ayari is taking more and more for himself.

He was brilliant again in the 2-1 win against Slovakia late last night, when the national team secured the group win in the Nations League.

A decent performance. I go out and do my thing, feel comfortable in there. I try to perform as well as possible and it feels good right now, says Ayari.

The Premier League pro from Brighton is thriving in the forward-thinking national team.

It's easy to play with fantastic players like the three, but the whole team is doing really well, says Ayari.

Dejan Kulusevski praised the midfielder and his play in the national team this fall.

Yasin was incredible today too. It bodes well that he's also coming forward. Suddenly, player after player is coming through. Yasin is one of them and I'm incredibly proud of him.

But there are more who are incredibly good, says Kulusevski.

Sweden is clear for the B-division in the Nations League 2026 and concludes this year's tournament against Azerbaijan on Tuesday. A match that has significance. The national team can, as one of the best group winners, get an extra chance to reach the World Championship 2026 if they fail in the qualifiers.
