DanielAgger

Former Liverpool skipper Daniel Agger says he is impressed with the Reds this term under manager Jurgen Klopp.

The veteran defender was in attendance when Liverpool clashed with archrivals Manchester United in the English Premier League. The retired Danish international believes that his former club are on the right path to meet his expectations this term. He was impressed with their performance in Klopp’s debut season, and believes they would meet expectations this year.

Bayern Munich star player Xabi Alonso has saluted the 2008/2009 Liverpool squad.

He said the team is the best he has played in. The Spain international joined Anfield in 2004. He spent five seasons, winning the UEFA Champions League and an FA Cup before exiting. He moved to Real Madrid for £30 million in 2009 before his transfer to the German side in 2014.

Daniel Agger confesses that the cause of the health problems he had during his Brondby stint was the huge number of pain killers he had consumed through the past years.

Recalling the game during which he had lost his consciousness, Agger reveals that he had a total of four painkillers that day from the time he had gotten up from the bed to the time he had stepped into the team bus and the tablets had such an effect on him that he didn’t understand when his eyes closed and he slept as he was on his way to the stadium.

These days it is very common for players to move from one club to another throughout their career. It seems increasingly difficult for academy prospects o make first team and build careers long term at a club.

Expensive signings that are established elsewhere are the norm in a bid to fast track success of top and aspiring clubs. When players underperform, they are quickly shipped out. Fans of Brondby took to social media to thank one of their notable players that returned after his exploits in elsewhere.

Former Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has explained why he retired from football.

The Danish defender spent almost a decade at Anfield before heading back to his boyhood club Brondby FC. He left in 2014 after a falling out with then coach Brendan Rodgers. The 31-year old revealed how he was forced to take painkillers for several years when he was playing actively. The player has played for just two clubs in the whole of his career. Brondby, all through his youth until he joined Liverpool in the 2005/2006 season for £7.5 million and then returned years later.

Former Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has made a surprise decision to end his career at the age of 31.

It was only in the summer of 2014 when Agger decided to return to his home country and play for Brøndby – the club where he started his career. After having played just 43 appearances in his second spell, he has announced his retirement from the game. More surprising is the fact that he is still only 31 years of age. In this era, central defenders have been playing beyond the age of 35 if they have great condition.

There are media reports that Newcastle might be considering Daniel Agger in order to strengthen their defence.

Indeed, it has been the leaky defence that has caused Newcastle to lose matches last season and the Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez will be keen to find quality players to improve it. The defensive problems have been evident since the start of last season, but Newcastle failed to address it in the January transfer window.

Daniel Agger is set to join Italian club side AC Milan. The media was rife with reports last week that the Denmark international had agreed to rejoin Rafa Benitez at Newcastle. Benitez couldn’t save Newcastle as they were relegated from the English Premier League but he agreed to help the club regain their tier one status despite having the clause in his contract that he was not obligated to do so.

Benitez sought to add centre back Daniel Agger to his Championship side but current reports say the former Liverpool man will join AC Milan instead. According to TalkSport, the 31-year-old Dane has been approached by the Serie A giants about a Bosman deal, especially as his current deal with Brondby expires at the end of the month.

Daniel Agger says he would continue to play football due to his love for the round leather game.
The hopes of the defender staying on with Brondby are unknown but the 31-year old player declared his interest to keep at football.

He was quoted saying: “there were those who wanted it more than me, because I played football because I had fun. Every other year I played on the second team and I was alright with that.”

Agger finds joy in football and playing for his boyhood club by turning down reported interest from top clubs such as Barcelona, Arsenal and Napoli.

“I have special feelings for this club and for me that means more than money and material things,” He claimed after official joining Brondby in 2014.

Denmark defeated rivals Iceland on Thursday in an international friendly at home. Denmark went into the game with much confidence since they have never lost to Iceland ever.

However, The Red and White as fondly called had lost six games prior to meeting Iceland. The head coach, Age Fridtjof Hareide replaced the former coach and hoped to kick start his coaching career with a great debut.

Denmark had always prevailed against their Iceland counterparts. In the 2002 world cup qualifiers, the danes defeated Iceland by six unreplied goals. In the race for Euro 2008 qualifiers, Denmark went past Iceland, winning by a three goal margin at home and a two goal margin away. In 2012, same Euro qualifiers, Denmark defeated Iceland by a lone goal at home and double of that at Iceland.
