    Little does he know he’s just being prepared for the premier league

    Never seen so many complaints about some rough defending. Especially by an 80m player facing actual amateurs. You’d think they’d broken both of his legs

      Defending implies an attempt to play the ball. Driving a knee into someone’s back with zero attempt to play the ball and a team threatening him with aiming for his knees isn’t defending.

      Lol, it’s very telling that you can’t see how that only makes it fucking worse. It’s his livelihood, his job, that they were deliberately trying to sabotage by injuring him. They, on the other hand, have very little at stake.

      Both Højlund and Kjær speak italian, and they could hear the SM defenders say that they were going to “smash Højlund” and “go for his knees”.

        Have you ever played football at any level? Defenders say this shit all the time and Højlund was fine after the game.

      If you didn’t watch the match, what is even the point of your take on it? It wasn’t “rough” defending. They literally talked about wanting to injure him on the pitch among themselves in Italian.

    Damn, that’s rough. San Marino needs to chill with the dirty plays. Stay strong and keep grinding, Rasmus!

      San marino’s player(i forget his name) posted on instagram that 80m professional players should be able to handle the physical contact like this. They are not even trying to hide it.

        That is still not proof. There is being rough, going hard etc and then there is purposefully going out to injure someone.

      There are a few accounts of several of the Danish players saying they overheard the defenders talking in Italian about aiming for Hojlund’s knees etc, because they weren’t aware that several of the Danes speak fluent italian

    I didn’t see the match but according to the stats San Marino fouled 14 times and Denmark fouled 10 times.

    Apart from that Di Maio cunt going with the knee on the back, was the match really a man hunting from San Marino?

    Either the ref was shit or the Danes are exaggerating a bit here.

      The ref allowed a lot. There were also some free kicks made by the Danish defenders he did not give.

      The San Marino players did not do brutal attacks. It was more constant like jabs concentrated on Højbjerg. Later in the match he also contributed because he was annoyed. He shushed them. Which was not classy. Or popular. He does not normally do these things though…

      The worst one the refs missed was Højlund getting intentionally hit in the head in the penalty area, which should have been a red and a sending off, but VAR didn’t intervene because the REF waved it off.

      Other than that there were several attempted kicks at Højlund that wasn’t called, in one instance he was kicked 3 times befor finally getting a freekick because the ball was lost.

      In all honesty it started because Højlund hit a defender with his elbow and fell on him afterwards, which seemed to make San Marino’s players see red. It didn’t look intentional, but things turned ugly after that, and that was around the 30 minute mark.

      For reference Eriksen argued with the San Marino players several times, Kjær too, and those are probably some of the calmest player I’ve ever seen in football, especially Eriksen. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him argue this much with opponents.

    Can someone please make compilation about San Marino’s fouls, would be interesting to see

    The worst part is that such behaviour and tackles are result of some rotten understanding of what a battle and a fight in football should be. The next thing is that the same player will fall down grimacing in agony on the smallest of contacts simulating in order to send an opposition player off. This is not and shouldn’t be part of the game. The whole refereeing needs a total revamp and such episodes must cease to exist.

    A player will probably have to lose his career due to this kind of “rough defending” before they take actions against this shit.

    I guess we just blindly believe him on this? Why are people so happy to lap this up?
