‘He is the heart’: Nation’s media left seriously impressed after £15m Tottenham player’s display last night
The national media were thrilled by Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s performance last night for Denmark.
This season, Hojbjerg has had difficulty getting playing time at Tottenham after slipping down the lineup under Ange Postecoglou.
Although the 28-year-old has played every minute for Denmark, he has yet to make a Premier League start this season.
During the most recent international break, Hojbjerg did score twice in as many games, and he brought that positive form into the match against Kazakhstan yesterday.
At the same time as Denmark won their most recent Euros qualifier 3-1, the Spurs midfielder received raving plaudits from the national media.
Danish media impressed with Hojbjerg’s latest international display
After his performance against Kazakhstan last night, Hojbjerg was dubbed “the heart” of the Denmark team by the Danish publication Ekstra Bladet.
The midfielder put on a strong performance in the middle of the park to advance Kasper Hjulmand’s team closer to earning a spot in next year’s Euros.
You could write it after most international matches, the site said in its review of Hojbjerg’s performance, which it gave him a four-star rating. With his enthusiasm and presence, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg serves as the Danish team’s beating heart.
He consistently outperformed the visitors, providing both with and without the ball.
After the international break, Hojbjerg might be set to make his first league start of the year.Indeed, Yves Bissouma will not play against Fulham on Monday after receiving a red card during last weekend’s 1-0 victory against Luton.
The £15 million player has put in some strong Spurs bench performances this year, and he will be eager to break into Postecoglou’s starting lineup.
