“The biggest thing for me” – Grønbaek relishes facing world stars | OneFootball

Albert Grønbaek is firmly planned as a key player at HSV. He is now also playing a role again in the Danish national team.

The attacking midfielder has been nominated for the upcoming international matches. Four Nations League fixtures await his team, and Grønbaek is looking forward to them immensely (via Mopo): “For me, playing for the national team is the best feeling. It means everything to me.” His motivation is likely to be boosted even further by the fact that Denmark will face some of the biggest names in world football.

As early as Thursday, the opening match takes them to World Cup quarter-finalists Norway, with superstar Erling Haaland and Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard. There will also be a clash with David Møller Wolfe, who only recently joined HSV and who, in Saturday’s home match against 1. FC Köln, provided the perfect pass that allowed Grønbaek to set up fellow Dane Yussuf Poulsen, lurking in the middle, for the crucial 2-0.

Grønbaek measures himself against PSG’s midfield core

Just three days later, Denmark host Wales, supposedly the weakest opponent in the group. Their next home game will be far tougher. That is because Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, who shows no sign of retiring, are coming to Copenhagen. Grønbaek could face direct midfield battles with PSG playmaker Vitinha and his ideal partner João Neves.

The exceptionally long international break will conclude with an away game in Wales. Grønbaek joins “Danish Dynamite” in good form, having provided both assists in Hamburg’s first win of the season. On top of that, he has been almost completely free of physical issues for several months and is back in the match rhythm he had not reached again before his Bundesliga move.

Nur die Raute – All the news about HSV

At HSV, the 25-year-old was also initially held back by a thigh injury before impressing across the board in the closing stages of last season in the unfamiliar role of left wing-back. The club’s decision-makers then opted to invest almost five million euros in a permanent deal, and national coach Brian Riemer brought Grønbaek back into his squad.
