Edvin Kurtulus has had a great spring season with Hammarby.

Something that led to Janne Andersson's national team but had a complicated situation before the final decision.

The midfielder has represented Kosovo at the U21 level and has also been selected for the national team A. But, after being selected to play for the Dardanelles, it became clear that he had chosen to play for Sweden.

The 22-year-old has since confirmed that he has received many threatening messages and hate speech.

"There is a lot of hatred," he said.

Both in messages and on social networks.

But, it's something I'm trying to turn off and instead focus on my performance that I have to do on the field.

"It's something I had to deal with and I did not focus so much," he said.

But Kurtulus admits it has been difficult.

"It's easy to say you're good, but it's not that easy.

"It can not be avoided, but I still try to deactivate the notifications so that I do not see anything."

"I tried not to care so much about what they said.

No matter what choices I make, they hate me.

In the end, I have to feel what is best for me, and that was Sweden ", Edvin Kurtulus further emphasized.
