Dejan Kulusevski played his 45th and last international match almost exactly two years ago. After returning from a long and complicated knee injury in the autumn, he came on for Sweden in the 60th minute against Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Nations League.
The 26-year-old didn't have time to make a big fuss about it, but after the match, which Sweden won 3-2, he was satisfied.
It was fun. It got exciting in the second half, but it was important to win the group. I tried my best, did my job and helped the team. Now I'm looking forward to Tuesday (when Sweden play Poland), says Kulusevski on Viaplay.
The Tottenham star believes the match became unnecessarily exciting when Bosnia-Herzegovina scored twice and brought it to life.
They built momentum and had the crowd on their side. I'm glad we held on and didn't concede a third goal. We have to improve, and we'll talk about how to handle the second half better.
Kulusevski now hopes to get more playing time.
It's important that I play now. It will get better.
