Denmark striker Rasmus Hojlund has dismissed claims that Saturday’s 4-1 Nations League rout in Braga only happened because Portugal were below their best. Recall that the former Manchester United frontman struck twice after the break to spoil the hosts’ first outing since Cristiano Ronaldo retired from international football.
Speaking after the game, Hojlund insisted that Denmark deserves lots of credit for dismantling such a good opponent on the road.
Rasmus added that playing excellently against the group favorites proves that Denmark has a lot to offer in the UEFA Nations League.
His words, “I don’t think you can take anything away from our performance.
I buy that Portugal don’t play like it’s a World Cup final, but still.
We’re playing away against a top-five nation in Europe and, if you ask me, they’re also the group favourites.
It was a big gift to ourselves – I don’t want to talk about whether they were good or bad, it was a gift to ourselves.”
