AALBORG (Ekstra Bladet): FC Midtjylland is doing what they can to keep the foot on the throat of the FCK.
Three points in Aalborg after a solid defensive effort and an offensive where there is progress to track. It is hard to be negative in Herning/Ikast, although it is not exactly is effervescent on the last third.
– We may well not really be much better for the FCK-match. I think we are showing upward form, but FCK has also shown improvement, so it becomes a fat topopgør, it sounded from the colts, Erik Defends.
What does it mean for you/to you, to Dame N’Doye is back for FCK?
– I would have like to seen that he had taken a week or two more on the couch to care for his knee… Not, I played against him as 18-year-old, and it is just nice to stand here again ten years later and be up against him again.
– He is a klasseangriber, and it is always fun to meet the best. It must be said that he is. At least in the premier League, said Erik Defends.

It was also hard to find panderynker with Brian Priske, who are looking forward to yet another styrkeduel against FCK.
– I think we are showing a lost of strength in this period. Although the game might not run 100 percent, so we continue to pull victories. There was progress in the offensive against AaB, where we combine better and faster, and actually get created several fine chances after good opspil, said He, however, acknowledged that the offensive is still the achilles heel.
– It is we are painfully aware of. It is here, we really need to work on to improve ourselves. But I don’t have a finger to put in the work effort from any.
Now you say performance. How big an advantage is it for you that FCK will play against Kiev on Thursday?
– Beware. It is the eternal question this fall, where we have played ourselves out of the two tournaments.
– I have not the figures, but it is certainly a physiological advantage for us, that they shall match on Thursday, while we can sit and watch them on television at home. But FCK have as expensive a squad, they must be geared to the close program.
