Watch Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg bossing it as Denmark beat France

What a player. I’d go as far as saying that if someone were to fail to understand the importance of this particular Dane, then anything else that person might also say about football is probably also flawed. I say this from the perspective of someone who understood how important Michael Carrick was, and how important Luka Modrić was.

It’s not Pierre’s job to play as well for Tottenham as he does for his country, it is Tottenham Hotspur’s job to provide the means, the tangible platform for him to do so.

Here’s the assist.

And here’s the SIXTEEN interceptions Hojbjerg made against France.

A 62% duel win rate isn’t so shabby, either…
