“Particularly in the first half, it was one of the worst performances we’ve given in a long time, our transitions were poor, we didn’t cover well.

“If they’d been a bit more clinical they would have scored more goals and we would have been out of it in the first half, but to our credit we do fight.

“We tried to stand together and we scored two goals. We had other opportunities as well, but sometimes it became a bit of a kick-and-rush game, going up and down and up and down, and that’s not really the way we want to play.

“But we’ve got three points, that’s the most positive thing I can say.”
Agger added: “We know it was a really bad game, especially in the first half, we didn’t play like a team.
“We didn’t play like we have to if we want to progress. Clearly it wasn’t good enough but if you can still win playing like that it’s a positive.

“We are a team, we stand together as a team, and to our credit we did comeback in the match. It didn’t look too good at one point, but the positive thing is that we did fight back.”
Denmark goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen agreed with Agger in that he felt the performance had left a lot to be desired but he did admit that the win was the most important thing.

“It was disappointing but I always felt we were in the game,” noted Sorensen.
“It was a brave fight in the end as we were under a bit of pressure, so overall a great win. Maybe not the prettiest game a Danish football team has ever played but I thought it was effective and that’s what we needed, we needed a win.”

Denmark take on Japan next with the winner heading through to the next round and are 5/4 with Coral to win the game.

Ladbrokes are offering even odds on a Denmark win and Paddy Power are offering 11/4.

Of course, we are not the only people that are saying that this man is the best in the world. There are quite a few people in agreenace, even with some of the most decorated people saying it as well. One of which would be Johnan Cryuff, who says that there really is no one that’s better than the man, Best and Law included. With someone like that saying that much of the man, he will continue to be someone that we love to watch, as he will continue to produce the results that we expect.
