Interview from Danish TV2 today:
When there is uncertainty, it can well trigger some thoughts, says Højbjerg
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg at the national football team's press conference the day before the European Championship qualifier against San Marino in Parken.
The Danish midfielder has played just over an hour in the Premier League this season.
Last season, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg was indispensable at Tottenham. The Danish international got full playing time, almost every time he was on the pitch, and he missed just three Premier League games.
At the beginning of the current season, however, Højbjerg's situation has been quite different.
Tottenham has got a new manager, Australian Ange Postecoglou, after two temporary coaches and Antonio Conte, and rumors of a possible Højbjerg exit from the London club have buzzed like the buzz of bees.
- It is clear that when there is some uncertainty, it can well trigger some thoughts. But now it is closed, there is a clarification, and the focus is in the right place, says Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, who was linked with a summer transfer to Atlético Madrid.
- I always think that the focus has been in the right place, but when there is uncertainty, it can well trigger some thoughts. All the way through, of course, I have behaved properly and done things correctly, so I don't come with a backlog.
- So that way I feel good and I keep doing the things that I think are right. So for me everything is okay, says Højbjerg.
Will help the team in the best possible way.
In the first four league games this season, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg has only had a total of 66 minutes.
However, the few match minutes do not make the midfielder change his mentality.
- The team has done fantastically, and when I have been called upon, I have tried to help the team. At the end of the day, the most important thing for me is to keep helping the team in the best possible way.
- Then it is the coach who is like the boss. He more or less decides how much to play. My focus, who I am and what I give is not going to change. For me, it is always important to be successful with the team - regardless of whether I play 1 minute or 90 minutes.
- If the team does well, you stand better yourself. This is something I will continue to take with me - also in this situation. I have a good feeling in my stomach and I will try to improve, where I need to improve.
But it doesn't suit a guy like you so well to have to sit out on the bench, does it?
- Time will tell, says Pierre-Emile Højbjerg.
