“It’s difficult to say no to OM”
“During discussions with the management, I felt that everyone, from the president to the staff, had football in their blood. And that makes me happy, because I too think about football 24/7. If you want to have great ambitions, you have to work hard, but also think about football all the time.”the 2013 European champion confided to journalists.
“It’s hard to say no to people who are so involved in the club’s success. It’s hard to say no, when you know how the stadium gets fired up. It’s hard to say no to OM, when you love football like I do.”Højbjerg said.
