Victor Froholdt remains prominent in FC Porto's season and has been gaining international recognition. The CIES Football Observatory published a global statistical ranking this Monday, placing the Danish midfielder in 10th place among players with the highest possession retention percentage under high pressure, with an effectiveness of 83.2%.

The study evaluates players' ability to maintain possession in intense pressure situations, positioning Froholdt among the most reliable in the world in this aspect. At the top of the list is Arda Güler, a young talent from Real Madrid, known for his technique and control in tight spaces.

Froholdt's consistency in Porto's midfield has been one of the pillars of the team led by Francesco Farioli, combining defensive intensity with calmness in build-up play.

The Danish international now joins the Denmark national team, which will face Belarus and Greece in the 2026 World Cup qualifying phase.
