What a player. I’d go as far as saying that if someone were to fail to understand the importance of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, then anything else that person might also say about football is probably also flawed. I say this from the perspective of someone who understood how important Michael Carrick was, and how important Luka Modrić was.

It’s not Pierre’s job to play as well for Tottenham as he does for his country, it is Tottenham Hotspur’s job to provide the means, the tangible platform for him to do so.

Here are the SIXTEEN interceptions Hojbjerg made against France.

PEH’s 62% duel win rate wasn’t so shabby, either…

Then there was the 90% passing accuracy rate, which included the assist.

Pierre also recovered the ball 17 times, on 4 occasions, this was in the France half. Sort it out, Daniel.

The chances is are that if there is garbage on the pitch to the left and right of you , I mean wingbacks , Hojbjerg is going to find the odd chip wrapper stuck to his boot.
