Froholdt amazed by FC Porto impact: "Hard to walk alone now" | OneFootball

Victor Froholdt has been pointed out as the most influential reinforcement for FC Porto this season. The 19-year-old midfielder had an impressive start and has already won over the fans. In the classic match, for example, he covered 12.3 kilometers, more than any other player on the field. In addition to the praise, his performances have given him a public exposure he was not used to, leading him to take an unusual step. "I've reached the point where it's hard to walk alone. I think a bit about when I go out and I also bought a cap for those days when I maybe don't want to be too recognized, but that's also proof that the city lives and breathes football. It's great that it means so much to them. In Denmark, it's part of the culture, if we see someone we know, the first thing we do is not to go there and ask for a photo. In Portugal it's different, they're not afraid to come up to me. It was a big change," he admitted in an interview given to the service of the Denmark national team.

"It would have been a bit different if I had started badly and the whole club thought I was the worst transfer in the world. So, I see it as a positive thing that there are many happy people out there," he added, before revealing he has already found some things to do outside of football. "When I'm alone and can't be with family and friends, I take Portuguese lessons and I'm learning to play a bit of golf".

Starting in all four championship rounds and after having stood out in the preparation matches, Froholdt said he is dazzled by FC Porto. "It's great to have an important role from the start and it was also important that I transferred to a club where I fit in well and could start from the beginning, so I wouldn't have to sit and watch the game on the bench. It's great to have won the trust of the club and the coach, and it's great to have taken the risk and be part of the team," he emphasized.

Although he has been at Dragão for a short time and says it's "hard to compare" Copenhagen with FC Porto, Froholdt has already realized that he is at a "slightly larger" club. Therefore, he believes that this will also help him assert himself in the main selection, despite being only 19 years old. "The selection is one of my clear goals. I don't just want to be part of the team, I also want to have minutes on the field and help win games. It's easier for this to happen when you play at a bigger club and in a bigger league than Denmark's. So, of course, the national team was also in consideration when I transferred to FC Porto," Victor Froholdt admitted.
