It’s football, baby.
Rising stars come and go and every now and then we hear about a new Messi or Ronaldo who are all the rage for several games, but are then later forgotten by everyone in a heartbeat. However, sometimes the hype is real and has some ground to stand on.
Could Borussia Dortumund forward and Swedish international Alexander Isak fulfill that role? Will he change the faith of football, sports advertising and perhaps even affect the future of the best online betting sites? Will he really become the next Zlatan Ibrahimovic just like many fans and even some scouts say? Only time will tell…but even if Alexander has half of Ibra’s production that would be amazing!
So where did all the Alexander Isak rage come from? What’s so amazing about this kid who scored a goal in his début match at the age of 16?
Let’s have a look at what he already achieved, and what amazing talents he possesses.
First and foremost – the kid is fast, extremely fast. Most defenders simply don’t have the chance to rumble for the ball with him. Most opponents are left behind in a heartbeat.
Supplementing the fact that it’s nearly impossible to dribble step for step with Alexander, he also has a rather tactical mindset. Isak has shown a fast grasp for picking up what’s going on the field despite the young age.
On 21 September 2016, Isak’s 17th birthday, then with AIK i, he scored twice in their huge 3-0 derby win over arch rivals Djurgården. He was later described by teammate, Chinedu Obasi, as “Sweden’s new Zlatan Ibrahimovic.”
That noted, Isak also shows patience. He does not always rush forward like a meteor. If there isn’t enough room for maneuvers, then he simply steps back without wasting any space. This quality makes him an exceptional team player, and he’s been worth every penny of the 10 million that Dortmund spend on him.
Internationally, he has the major accomplishment of being the youngest goal-scorer in the history of Swedish football.
What do you think about Alexander Isak, a rising star and prominent football talent? Is he really the next Ibra?
