The Vittsjö attacker gave the message in connection with Finland's national team gathering – and at the same time criticized Finland's government for its stance in the Israel/Gaza issue.
This is going to be a gloomy period for humanity and in my opinion, Finland is on the wrong side of history. Finland stands by and watches as thousands of civilians and children die. I cannot stand here and not say what I think when I have been given the word, said the Finnish attacking star, according to Swedish Yle, at a press conference and added:
I want to be remembered as a sharp goal scorer who also stood up for human rights.
