DALLAS. The World Cup premiere in front of an audience of millions is imminent.
Then the national team flies in a hairdresser from Sweden the day before.
– I got a haircut a few days ago, so we’ll see if it happens again before the WC premiere, says Viktor Gyökeres.

Sweden is honing in on form ahead of the WC premiere against Tunisia on the night of Monday. But it is not only on the pitch that rigorous preparations are underway.
Ahead of the first World Cup match, the players have made sure that the fade is in place.
– A guy is coming, Ibbe. He is going to Mexico today, so tomorrow he will be at the hotel and will drive for a full day. Everything is already ready, I’ve already booked in so I’m ready, says Besfort Zeneli, who is considering a major change.
– I’ve talked a little with Björn (Hamberg) about maybe letting my hair down a bit. We’ll see if I dare.
“Let’s see who I trust the most”
Gustaf Lagerbielke haven’t booked an appointment yet, but it won’t be a problem.
The players do not have only one option available to them.

– I might need to book it tonight if there is time. He (Besfort) is perhaps a little more vain than I am, says Lagerbielke.
Who takes responsibility for flying in the hairdresser?
– I think both Isak (Hien) and Alex (Isak) have taken responsibility for it. Then Victor (Nilsson Lindelöf) has fixed some American barber here. We’ll see who to trust the most.
Are footballers more vain than others?
– Both yes and no. Football players have a good reason to be vain because there are many eyes on them. Compared to how many people watch, we are not that vain, but more than the average person.
Gets a haircut once a week
Even for Viktor Gyökeres can fix the hairstyle before the premiere – even if he has a new haircut.
– I just got a haircut, don’t you see?, he says with a smile and continues:
– It is clear that you have to be prepared there. I got a haircut a few days ago, so we’ll see if it happens again before the World Cup premiere.
It is not unusual for Gyökeres to have frequent visits to the hairdresser.
– Once a week. If it is tough to get the hairstyle, it can be important.
