![[Rasmus Højlund] on Instagram: We do so much everyday to be the best version of yourself and keep fit for so many games. This behavior from San Marino last night, trying to injury me was unacceptable!](https://alien.top/pictrs/image/846f2048-189f-40bf-8bef-7ae2ae95e7e4.webp){kind=link}
Injury can’t be buy
Ain’t no way bro is getting rattled by the worst footballing nation to ever exist 😤
Little does he know he’s just being prepared for the premier league
I guess we just blindly believe him on this? Why are people so happy to lap this up?
A player will probably have to lose his career due to this kind of “rough defending” before they take actions against this shit.
Honestly this is really fu**ed up.
This guy wouldn’t survive the 1980s
Good job that was nearly 45 years ago then isn’t it
The 80’s wasn’t just 1980.
Does that make his point any less asenine?
The “Nearly 45 years ago” wasn’t just 45 years ago.
we are not playing in the 80s now are we?
The worst part is that such behaviour and tackles are result of some rotten understanding of what a battle and a fight in football should be. The next thing is that the same player will fall down grimacing in agony on the smallest of contacts simulating in order to send an opposition player off. This is not and shouldn’t be part of the game. The whole refereeing needs a total revamp and such episodes must cease to exist.
Never seen so many complaints about some rough defending. Especially by an 80m player facing actual amateurs. You’d think they’d broken both of his legs
Bro masvidal’d his back. And they allegedly tried to go after his knees.
Both Højlund and Kjær speak italian, and they could hear the SM defenders say that they were going to “smash Højlund” and “go for his knees”.
Have you ever played football at any level? Defenders say this shit all the time and Højlund was fine after the game.
If you didn’t watch the match, what is even the point of your take on it? It wasn’t “rough” defending. They literally talked about wanting to injure him on the pitch among themselves in Italian.
Defending implies an attempt to play the ball. Driving a knee into someone’s back with zero attempt to play the ball and a team threatening him with aiming for his knees isn’t defending.
Especially by an 80m player facing actual amateurs
Lol, it’s very telling that you can’t see how that only makes it fucking worse. It’s his livelihood, his job, that they were deliberately trying to sabotage by injuring him. They, on the other hand, have very little at stake.
How dare they try to injury him
How dare a non-native english speaker make a tiny error in their spelling
It’s a joke
The knee in the back was nasty, the rest was pretty standard. But yeah a Manchester United star played complaints about the toughness of freaking San Marino. They never get a break
Oh so…San Marino is bad yes, but they’re also bad at being decent human beings on the pitch. Their winless streak is completely deserved
Damn, that’s rough. San Marino needs to chill with the dirty plays. Stay strong and keep grinding, Rasmus!
Can someone please make compilation about San Marino’s fouls, would be interesting to see
Here are some.
Except for the knee in the back at the end, it all looked pretty standard
Why højlund talking so much? Just put your head down and get on with it
Cause his career is on the line? If this is okay. More teams will do it. And he won’t last 10 games?
This is quite the significant accusation. How can he prove it?
There are a few accounts of several of the Danish players saying they overheard the defenders talking in Italian about aiming for Hojlund’s knees etc, because they weren’t aware that several of the Danes speak fluent italian
San marino’s player(i forget his name) posted on instagram that 80m professional players should be able to handle the physical contact like this. They are not even trying to hide it.
That is still not proof. There is being rough, going hard etc and then there is purposefully going out to injure someone.
What even happened?
