DUBLIN (Ekstra Bladet): Åge Hareide could well make up for a toothpaste commercial.
the Norwegian has a ready smile. The big broad with the whole of the teeth.
this was How it was, when he stood ahead of Denmark skæbnekamp against Ireland. A struggle that defines whether Denmark is going directly to EM or go out and play in the Nations League to the spring in search of a EM-ticket.
The happy, smiling and round two in a relaxed moment, although it is serious, it must take place in the Aviva Stadium on Monday evening.
At three-and-a-half years have Åge Hareide is not just copied from the Danish national team. He has been the ’best’ Danish national coach of the last 50 years, when you delve into the statistics.
Neither Rudi Strittich, Kurt Nielsen, Sepp Piontek, Richard Møller Nielsen, Bo Johansson or Morten Olsen can measure themselves with it, as the 66-year-old Norwegian has performed with the last three and a half years.
Good enough won the Richard Møller Nielsen EM title in 1992. A singular and impressive feat, but when you delve into the statistics, released he not Norwegian holdings in several areas. Richard Moller stands with a pointsnit at 1,89, which is second-best.
Åge Hareide has the highest pointsnit – 1,95 pr. battle.
He has the strongest defensive – 0,60 goals against per. battle.
And then he has the best offensive 1,95 goals per. battle.
And then he can present a statistic of 33 games without defeat.
In 1496 days, the Danish national team hasn’t lost a football game. And now he stands on the threshold to qualify for Denmark for the second finals in a row.
– It means incredibly much to me, if I can be the Danish national coach with the highest pointsnit. I am a person who is driven by, I will win at any cost. I will have to go far to reach my goal.
– I was not the world’s best footballer, but I came to England and my whole life has been about the way to win. I will be the best, explains Åge Hareide.
Simon Kjær and Åge Hareide has a very close cooperation. Landsholdsanføreren believe that the Norwegian has created something unique with the way he has made the national team for a sporting success on the three and a half years. Photo: Lars Poulsen.
the Norwegian proved to be the right thing to get into the national team in the beginning of 2016. The national team had been mentally tired in cooperation with Morten Olsen.
There came a rotund Norwegian in the door. A man who created a more relaxed atmosphere in an ambitious elitemiljø, where the responsible freedom of the individual was the key words on the journey towards new goals.
the Players are allowed to have visits on spillerhotellet, they do well when they have the ’freedom in the landsholdslejren’, go for a walk to the café, but they do not come out from the community or break the financial rules. So fall Hareides hammer.
– I think, Åge has created something unique in the unity and the community, he has built up on the national team.
– I will put it this way: He has very great honor that the national team is in the position in which we find ourselves in now, believe captain Simon Kjær, there is not much to relate to the decision to change the national coach.
– This is DBU’s decision. We must respect that. But there is no doubt that the whole spillertruppen is behind Åge. We are very happy for him, says he.
Just captain Simon Kjær is one of them, as the national coach often takes on the advice.
Hareide has always been a coach who would rather ask one time too much rather than make a wrong decision in advance. Most often it is Simon Kjær, he discusses the plans with, but the rest of the spillerrådet – Kasper Schmeichel, Christian Eriksen and Thomas Delaney – is also involved in major decisions about the national team.
When he in march 2016 entered into the ad’s door, it was with the ambition to play with a three mandsforsvar, because Denmark had so many strong midtstoppere.
It went on for a shorter period of time, but then he listened to his players, who were more confident in a four mandsforsvar.
Some will call him a weak leader who gives in to the players. Others call it a modern leader who takes his employees on the council, hoping to get the best benefits eventually.
How has the Danish landstrænere made it.
in Addition to the extreme winning mentality is Hareides greatest triumph is probably the fact that he got Eriksen to shine.
He got Denmark to play much more directly and with Eriksen in a forward position, where he got a front against the opponents ‘ goal and came closer, so that he can finish.
When the Norwegian started, had Eriksen in 57 matches only scored six goals. Now kreatøren scored 25 times in the 37 matches he has played under Åge Hareide.

do not Step outside of the community
DUBLIN (Ekstra Bladet): the national Coach Åge Hareide may well seem like the happy, round ’grandpa-type’, but do not be mistaken by the jovial Norwegian.
He has a glowing temperament, and it can easily beat the sparks, if a player enters outside the commune rules or do not comply on the grounds, as he sets out.
There are several examples of.
Riza Durmisi and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg here, together with the national coach Åge Hareide. Wigan were out of the team for two years, after he played for themselves and thus put themselves above the collective. Durmisi has only played 23 minutes, ago he delivered a weak defensive performance, and cost a goal against Romania in October 2017. Photo: Lars Poulsen.
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg saw the after’s latest defeat – the 0-1 against Montenegro in October 2016. He was subsequently not in landsholdstruppen in two years.
Hareide believed that Wigan played for himself and not contributed enough to the group in the showdown, where he also was ripped off after an hour of play.
Daniel Wass was out of landsholdsregi in more than two and a half years – from november 2016 to the summer of 2019. It was he, because he volunteered to cancel a træningsturnering in Japan, and since he did not come home to a test match, where it was announced he was injured. Wass and DBU was in a dispute, because Valencia is a player believed that he had been seen as unfair.
Riza Durmisi is a third example. He has not been on the national team since march 2018. National coach was obviously unhappy with backens defensive discipline in the 1-1 match against Romania in 2017. Here he was involved in the settlement, and since the battle he has only scored 23 minutes in landsholdsregi.
At the moment he is out of date for other reasons, because he isn’t part of the plans in Lazio. He has not played one single minute this season.
