Since FC Nordsjælland, last Saturday, settled in denmark, became the scorer the game free in the field of Mikkel Damsgaard with the heel. A small glimpse of the brilliance that in itself tells why Sampdoria has chosen to put 50 million kroner in order to retrieve the 19-year-old midtbaneprofil to Italy for the summer.
Against a tightly organised opponent must preferably have a can opener at hand, and just the type of sharpness has midtbanekometen refined, since he in the childhood Jyllinge got his father as the first coach.
– my Entire family is fond of football, but my dad has the game himself and goes absolutely wild up in it, so it was a given that I started with it, explains the teenager with a smile.
– My father was my coach until I, as a 12-year-old switched to the FCN, and he was – as many of the other parents also noticed it – very hard on me. There shouldn’t be any talk that he was Mikkel’s father.
– He was demanding, also about extra training, and he was hoping that I could stand against. It was probably also a small dream come true for him, that I was something, which he himself was not achieved. I’m happy for everything I have learned from him.
Also today is his father, Henrik, Mikkel Damgaard’s main sparring partner. In the big and small decisions, acting on their common, overriding passion.
– We talk so wildly much about football, that my mother and sister can be a little tired of it.

the Talent not just talking about it. He lives football.
From the early morning in the apartment in the Station, as he through some months have shared with his american teammate, Jonathan Amon, of everyday life in north zealand in denmark, elite-setup, to he again hits the pillow, while he might repeats a few Italian vocabulary words.
So now the dream, of course, also be tested.
– It is a good preparation just to try to stay out. It would be a major step to move directly from the mother and father to Italy, explains Mikkel Damgaard and send nice words after his agents, Jens Ørgaard and Thomas Rasmussen, who along with the club negotiated a megafed solution’ in place.
The means that he plays the spring, finished in the Farum, or perhaps rather ’Far-space’. For not it had been for nothing without a nod from his mentor.
– My father must also be happy with the decision I take. Otherwise, it would be hard for me, says the son, who does not have researched profusely in his new life.
– I take it as it comes. Now I have half a year to prepare myself, and I try to do everything I can do now – as to learn the language and get an apartment – so I only must think to play football when I come down there.

By the same token, the move parked purely mentally.
– of Course it’s all much greater down there in another country, but I do not think so much on it. I have half a year here, as I want to enjoy. So I can not go and think of the other each day.
The large amount of money has also not been allowed to create flicker.
– The only thing that number tells me is how much the club want me. That I am worth it. It is the recognition, that is, in amount, says Mikkel Damsgaard, who, with a small smile acknowledging that he probably will slightly increase in salary.
But the money rolls only in the slipstream of the ball.
– They are nice to have, but I am not thinking of them. I’m not so good to pamper myself. I have not been out buying expensive clothes or expensive car.
he Must treat himself, he can send a fremtidstanke against the Series A.
– It is a big big league, one of the largest in the world, and there are simply so many stars in the world.
– When I saw football from the as a boy, it was a really tough league, but it has evolved into ’a more playing league with high tempo.
– But you must also be able to be in a good purely tactical, and I have learned a lot about to keep up with the latest. It is very much to be in a good key for the defense, and you need to listen and do what the coach asks you.
compared to understand the Football-Italy he sees it as an advantage, to Andreas Skov Olsen in the summer, we moved from Perth to Bologna.
– Andy is a good friend that I can rely on, and he has since given me some input, because he took the step before me, notes, Mikkel Damsgaard, who with a show of concern follows Sampdorias involuntary flirting with the relegation zone.
– I really hope they are up, says the talent, in which case the latter shall not take an unwelcome detour on the ambitionernes autostrada:
– I hope the best possible career. The dream is clear to play in the best leagues and get on A team at a time, it comes just so naturally relaxed from teenagetalentet, as when he sends a small hælaflevering into the field or asked to describe himself as a player:
– As an intelligent player who loves to find spaces on the pitch and open the opponent’s defense.
With the last it is also explained why a can opener could be so expensive.

Arrangement homework: Speed and physics
Mikkel Damsgaard hesitates not answer the question about what he recently has done the most work to build on itself as a player.
– the Physics, clearly. To eat more and lift weights more. Down there you should be a little more robust.
And so I work on my speed. What technique are concerned, I have good confidence, but I should also be able to follow with on-the-go.
With the now 80 matches and soon the three seasons as ballast it is a rarely experienced teen, who travel out.
– I’m happy for the experience I have gained, season for season in the premier League. I have learned new all the time here in the club there comes a constant flow of new players, as you must learn to play together with.
– The first year I was not the star and had to find my role, but then I grew a little, and when Mathias Jensen was sold, I was and others need to take a step up and take on more responsibility. On the way I have developed me step by step, he explains.

Here are my role models
– I have many role models, but Andrés Iniesta (16 years at Barcelona) is clearly the largest. I have grown up watching him and always thought he was the best and most impressive to watch play. The way – so smooth and elegant – it was absolutely crazy. His passing, and so that he could show up and score goals when it was most important. Whether it was in El Clasico or in a WORLD cup final. I would like to be just like him.
– in Denmark is Mathias Jensen is one of the best I’ve played along with. He was absolutely amazing, and I learned the game very much to play together with him. I have also tried to learn from Emilianos (Marcondes) way to work with its terminations, and Ingvardsen had a bit of the same. That they continued after the training. For all the offensive midfielders with a Danish passport, is Eriksen, of course, man has looked up to. He has been so good for so many years.

Three with heel
– How well do you know Italian cuisine?
– Not so good. But pesto comes from Genoa, I have heard. I love good food, and it makes the much of down there, so I’m looking forward to.
– What is the biggest attraction at the Games?
– For me it’s the football club. I have eddermanme spent many hours on the lanes. I know that the club has gained a little in udviklingspenge from my transfer deal, and they are very happy. It is a small six-figure sum, but I have not heard what they will use them for.
– How concerned are you for the situation around the corona virus in northern Italy?
I hope that there will be a track on it. It makes the whole world well. Right now it is bad right there, but I think the players are well protected. It fills not at all something in me, for it is only for the summer, I have to go there.
