Froholdt on Hjulmand’s praise: “I’m pleased, but we’re still rivals” | OneFootball

Victor Froholdt anticipated FC Porto's reception of Malmö, scheduled for Thursday (8 PM), in the sixth round of the Europa League group stage. On Wednesday afternoon, in a press conference, the Danish midfielder responded to recent praises from his compatriot Morten Hjulmand.

Closed face, cold response

«We have a good connection, especially because we play together on the national team. But we are rivals in Portugal, so I don't want to see Sporting win. Still, it's nice to receive those compliments and I'm happy. I want to continue to evolve and show even more, helping the team.»

Impact on the team since arriving

«I know I came to a team with a lot of quality, but I knew what I could add with my style of play. I have to keep adapting and evolving, especially with the ball. We've had many games, we don't have much time to work, but I know I have to keep taking steps to become a better player and be able to help the team.»

Talent of the year in Denmark

«I am very happy where I am. My previous club also helped me get here. I'm happy with what I've achieved, especially this year, but I know that if I stop, someone will come along even better. So, I have to keep working. We have many goals to achieve this season.»

Preview of the match against Malmö

«We approach every game the same way. We know how important the game is because we want to reach the top 8 (in the standings). We are prepared for a good game tomorrow.»

Goals in the Europa League

«Our goal is clear: we want to go far in the tournament. But we have to look at the next game, against Malmö. We need to get 15 or 16 points to qualify directly for the next stage.»

Adaptation to the country and the club

«When I came, I had to adapt to many things, but I felt that the club was a family. We have that slogan at the club, we are very united. That helped me adapt to the city, the country, and the club, as well as to give more of myself and show who I am. It was easy to adapt to the country. I want to stay here and work with the team.»
