Pierre Hojbjerg’s 92% passing accuracy gives you a clue, although he is rarely profligate with the ball… but when it comes to recovering the play, Hojbjerg is like a terrier crossed with Rottweiler.
Here’s a few of those defensive duels to give you a flavour. Not even Pierre himself has outperformed in this discipline since he joined us. His mean average is 58.5% and against Crystal Palace, the Dane hit 81%!
I love this guy soooo much.
He was an absolute steal for a net £3m.
