Hjulmand praises Froholdt: “He’s got great tempo and plays at pace” | OneFootball

Victor Froholdt was elected Footballer of the Year in Denmark, an award announced in mid-December that, about a month later, continues to draw praise for the FC Porto midfielder. The Professional Footballers' Association of that country shared new statements from two other Danish internationals—also candidates for the award—about the player: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, a key figure at Marseille, and Morten Hjulmand, captain of Sporting.

In statements to the organization, in a video released on social media, the midfielder of the national champions highlighted the stamina and omnipresence of his teammate in the Danish national team… and rival in Portugal—this after already congratulating him for also receiving the Talent of the Year award. “From the beginning, when he first appeared, I saw that he has a very high tempo and plays quickly. The running ability and energy he brings, both to his club and the national team, make us feel comfortable having Victor there, because we know the space he can cover on the pitch. That gives a lot to the team,” Hjulmand assessed.

In turn, Hojbjerg highlighted the “great example” set by the 19-year-old midfielder of the Dragons. “He has a great attitude when he’s on the field, but also off it,” he explained to the Professional Footballers' Association.
