The reason why Porto has chosen to break the transfer record for FC Copenhagen for Victor Froholdt

Eintracht Francfurt has long seemed to direct the race for the signing of FC Copenhagen starlet, Victor Froholdt, but finally fell after refusing to respect Copenhagen’s assessment. Instead, Danish champions have accepted an offer of 22 million euros from FC Porto for the 19 -year -old.

The Portuguese team has concluded an agreement with Copenhagen on a decision that will be worth 22 million euros: basic costs of 20 million euros with 2 million euros in additional modules, according to Fabrizio Romano, which will establish a new record for transfer fees for FC Copenhagen.

22 million euros at the start is very similar to a Danish Superliga player, but to judge by the regular progress that the Danish international midfielder showed during last season, Froholdt is likely to double this amount if things are set up for the humble young in a desperate club to resume their previous dominance compared to the CP and Benfica Sports.

Despite an appearance in 15 games out of 17 and scored a crucial goal winning matches against Banik Ostrava to help FC Copenhagen at the Group Stadiums of the Conference League, Froholdt went under the radar in the troubled fall of FC Copenhagen last year.

But when coach Jacob Neestrup pushed him in the midfield from the start of the spring season, where he could exploit his obvious and incredible race capacity, things really started to come together for Froholdt.

The talented young man played no less than 1897 minutes of football in the spring and was clearly the engine of the winning campaign of FC Copenhagen while they finally settled in their elegant stride in the series of eliminations.

On the defensive, Froholdt is an intrepid interceptor of the ball, and when you add this to his impressive plating record, it is a great presence for the opposing teams to face.

Coupled with his high work rate, you have a player who could very well prove to be invaluable under Francesco Farioli of this part of Porto. Froholdt is not only capable of removing plated, but also good enough to escape them to stay healthy, and there is elegance in his game that you will rarely see in a player of his physique.

Froholdt mainly applies his job as a central midfielder in a role of box-to-box and is the best when he travels the opposition on implacable races, players often bouncing on him when they try to stop him.

He still needs to develop his capacity to mark objectives and must provide more help, but at 19, he has a lot of time to grow and develop this part of his game.

Froholdt is particularly rented for its racing capacity, which is unequaled. Froholdt played 90 minutes in four games in the 10 days in February, and Nestrup said that he had run more than 17 km in the return leg of FC Copenhagen in the league of the conference against Heidenheim Which would make him a challenger for the world record of Marcelo Brozovic of the 2022 World Cup where the Croatian ran 16.9 km in the match against Japan.

“We said a lot about my racing data. I don’t care, but I never knew a cramp in a football match, so I may have been blessed in this department”, ” Froholdt told Tipsbladet in the spring.

Froholdt, who was not allowed to play during the European championships under 21, because FC Copenhagen wanted him to rest during the summer, harvested the fruit of his promising performances for the Danish champions when he received his first call for the national team for the quarter -final of the League of Crucial Nations against Portugal.

The coach of the national team Brian Riemer was strongly blamed by the Danish media, when he chose to let Froholdt replace the experienced midfielder Christian Norgaard seven minutes from the end while Denmark tried to keep a 2-1 advance in Lisbon. But this is the belief in the qualities of Froholdt according to which Riemer had no reserve giving Froholdt an improbable chance to shine during his beginnings.

On the back of his inspiring performance, Froholdt will undoubtedly have to adapt to the additional pressure to FC Porto, but Froholdt remains confident that he has all the tools necessary to meet this challenge. “I have always put more pressure on myself than I have experienced it from others, so I’m not concerned about this,” explains Froholdt to Politiken.dk
