Valencia, who has experience playing at the highest level, believes that both players have the potential to excel at the World Cup and make a strong case for the Golden Boot award.

However, he also acknowledged that the competition will be fierce, with many talented strikers from around the world vying for the top honors.

Valencia noted that the heat and pitches in the World Cup will require strikers to adapt their playing style, focusing more on holding the ball up and controlling their movement rather than making long runs behind the defense.

This, he believes, could suit Gyokeres' playing style, which involves more control and intelligence on the pitch.

Sweden, who have been in good form recently, will face a tough test in Group F, where they will face Japan and Netherlands.

Despite being among the underdogs in the group, Valencia's comments suggest that he believes in the potential of Gyokeres and Isak to make a significant impact at the World Cup.
