Viktor Gyökeres leads Sweden's offensive with goals and hard work

Viktor Gyökeres has led Sweden's offensive this national team gathering and after two wins and a draw, the striker has three goals scored.

But the hits in all glory. Gyökeres has also stood out through the hard work he puts in and the deep runs that never end. One who is impressed by the striker is centre-back Eric Smith.

- He gets a lot of hits, but he also gives some. It's about give and take but he's a strong footballer so he can handle it, says Smith.

The players' positions mean that they often meet in duels against each other in training. Smith has thus had a feel for Gyökere's physique, but believes that it is possible to get the Arsenal star out of balance.

- It's not fun to go into melee right away, he's a bit ugly too, but usually on the right side. It hurts to face such a striker. It is very easy to anger Viktor but it is also wrong to do so because he will punish you. So I wouldn't tell anyone else to do it, says Eric Smith.
