Isak describes how Goitom helped him something "huge" and he also tells about the journey he made to Eritrea last summer. Then he visited the country for the first time, according to Voetbal International.

- It was a short trip, I was only there for a week, but it was wonderful. I visited a football school and kicked the ball with the kids there. When I saw how happy those kids were for a while ... the love I received was so incredibly lovely. Eritrea is not a rich country and many are struggling. So I am very happy that I could contribute a little to their happiness, says Isak.

On Instagram, Isak published a picture of his visit to the capital Asmara, when he met the children he played with football. To it wrote the forward:

"Happy to have met Eritrea's future. So talented and humble. Seeing them laugh is something special."

Isak doesn't say much about Eritrea. He lacks insight into the political situation and the lack of human rights in the country.

However, the trip there was special to him. For Voetbal International, he tells how everyone recognized him and knew who he was. Now he is also mentioned among the really big sports stars who are connected to Eritrea.

- It feels special. When it comes to football, it is me and Goitom who are the most famous eritreans. Sure, I am Swedish but it feels great to also be able to represent my parents' country. The week in Eritrea gave me a feeling I had never known before, says Isak.

He feels grateful to have experienced what he did in Eritrea.

- A smile is worth so much more than material things, and that I can contribute it is priceless.
