Leo Carlsson is praised: "The giant of the plan"

The junior crowns knocked out Finland in the quarter-finals.

One of the protagonists for the Swedish part was 18-year-old Leo Carlsson.

The talent, who is an everyday player in Örebro, has previously been hailed as a "young Mats Sundin".

Against Finland, he showed such pace when he scored his first two JVM goals.

- It's nice, nice for the self-confidence, he says after the victory.

Leo Carlsson has previously been crass during the tournament.

For example, he missed the match against the Czech Republic.

But now he is on the mend.

- You have more speed in your legs and more self-confidence.

There is a big difference, he says.

Praised by the experts

Leo Carlsson is also praised by the experts.

- He was great the whole match, he was the giant of the pitch, says Mikael Renberg.

He continues:

- Every time Sweden wins a major championship, Sweden has a good goalkeeper and a player who makes a difference offensively.

You have to have a player who decides matches and Leo Carlsson is such a player.
