The Norwegian football manager Age Hareide, who has been managing the Danish national team, expressed that Denmark “will be a danger to all teams because of [Christian Eriksen].†The coach believes many teams will not be enthused to face them in FIFA World Cup, as they smacked Ireland with 1-5 score in the qualifying game.
The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Eriksen has been an unbeatable playmaker of the country and of the Premier League. While Hareide motions for the 4-3-3 formation, it’s Eriksen who will be the key player in the Danes’ matches against other national teams.
Skills and Scoring
The Danes finished second in their qualifying group against the Polish when they were defeated by Poland and Montenegro in 2016. But with Eriksen’s hat-trick, they crippled Ireland in their match in Dublin at 1-5 score. With that result, plus their win over Poland at 4-0 in the qualifying round, the Danes are for sure going to turn the football odds around in their World Cup group.
Football Star Player
While we’re at it, let’s glorify Christian Eriksen even more as Denmark’s star player for the World Cup 2018. He’s being doing great both for Tottenham and Denmark, with an 11-goal triumph within 12 months from November 2016. This means he is now regarded as one of the best midfielders in the football scene.
Can Denmark finally raise the coveted trophy this year in Russia? We’ll have to wait for a little over two months for that.
Rising Star
A year ago, the centre back for Chelsea didn’t have that football star recall to it. However, Andreas Christensen came in with a wide spectacle of Chelsea’s defense this season. His talent caught the attention of football fans worldwide.
At only 21 years old, he’s been a skillful footballer, sneaking out of danger and adept in handling the ball. We’ll probably see him more at the World Cup tournament in Russia.
