Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Olympique de Marseille midfielder, made a notable statement after Denmark's defeat against Norway (2-3) on Thursday evening. According to Onze Mondial, the player, who is going through a difficult period both at club and international level, stood out in a press conference with comments deemed "lunar". Foot Mercato, for its part, mentions a statement that "sets the country on fire" and a "real scandal" in Denmark. Both media report the same defeat of the Danes against their Norwegian rival, but neither specifies the exact content of Hojbjerg's comments.
