Isac Alexi Sivert Lidberg (born 8 September 1998) is a Swedish footballer who plays for Enskede IK, on loan from Hammarby IF, as a forward.[1][2]
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.[3][4] He practiced wrestling as well for several years and was a big talent, but quit to focus on his football instead.[3] 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.[3][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 July 13.[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 lost away against Halmstads BK.[8]
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.[1]
International career
Isac Lidberg have played 16 games for Sweden U17, in which he have scored nine goals.
Style of play
He describe himself as a "powerful forward that can score on anything", which is something manager Nanne Bergstrand agree upon, stating that he's strong for his age due to training from an early age.[5][9] Hammarby's sport director Mats Jingblad added that Lidberg is a modern forward that often make runs behind the defenders.[6]
