Isac Alexi Sivert Lidberg (born 8 September 1998) is a Swedish footballer who plays for Gefle, as a forward.[1]
He is son to wrestler Martin Lidberg.
Personal life
Isac grew up mainly in Stockholm and is the second born child to Swedish reality television star and wrestling world champion Martin Lidberg.[2][3] His uncle is Jimmy Lidberg, a fellow Olympic medalist wrestler.[4] He practiced wrestling as well for several years and was a big talent, but quit to focus on his football instead.[2] Lidberg dreams of playing for Bayern Munich one day and his idol footballer is the German striker Mario Gomez.[5]
Club career
Hammarby IF
Lidberg started out his football career with local side Hägerstens SK, but moved to Hammarby Sjöstad and began to play for Hammarby IF as an eleven-year-old.[2][6] Advancing through the youth teams, Lidberg played his first game for Hammarby's under 21-team against GIF Sundsvall 2014 as a substitute, and scored a 2–1 goal within a minute. In March 2015, Hammarby offered him a 3-year-long senior contract, which he signed.[6]
The senior debut came already the same year in Allsvenskan, when Isac Lidberg got substituted with Linus Hallenius in a game against Falkenbergs FF on 13 July.[7] The 16-year-old Lidberg became the youngest player ever representing Hammarby in Allsvenskan.[5] He played his second game in Allsvenskan on the last game day of the 2015 season in Hammarby's 2–1 loss away against Halmstads BK.[8]
Lidberg made another five appearances in Allsvenskan for the club during the 2016 season.
Loan to Enskede IK
On 8 April 2016 it was announced that Lidberg was going to be on loan to newly promoted Division 1 club Enskede IK for the whole season. With Enskede being Hammarby's partner club, an agreement was made that the player was allowed to represent both clubs during the loan period.[9]
In his first start for the club, he scored two goals in Enskede's 3–1 win against Piteå IF on 1 May.[10] Lidberg would later move on to make another 14 appearances for the side during the season, scoring 6 goals in the league play.
Åtvidabergs FF
On 30 March 2017, he signed a permanent deal with Åtvidabergs FF in Superettan, the Swedish second tier.[11] He signed a three-year contract with his new club.[12] Hammarby reportedly sold Lidberg after the two parts could not agree on a new contract.[13]
Isac Lidberg made his debut for Åtvidaberg on match day one of the 2017 Superettan against IFK Värnamo on away turf. His new team lost 4-0 with Lidberg getting sent off in the last few minutes of the game, after coming on as a substitute.[14]
International career
Isac Lidberg played 14 games for Sweden U17, in which he scored nine goals, between 2014 and 2015.[15]
As of the end of 2016, he has won 11 caps for Sweden U19 and scored 10 goals in total.[16]
Style of play
He describe himself as a "powerful forward that can score on anything", which is something then manager Nanne Bergstrand agreed upon, stating that he's strong for his age due to training from an early age.[5][17] Hammarby's former sporting director Mats Jingblad added that Lidberg is a modern forward that often make runs behind the defenders.[6]
