Never seen so many complaints about some rough defending. Especially by an 80m player facing actual amateurs. You'd think they'd broken both of his legs
Lol, it's very telling that you can't see how that only makes it fucking worse. It's his livelihood, his job, that they were deliberately trying to sabotage by injuring him. They, on the other hand, have very little at stake.
Defending implies an attempt to play the ball. Driving a knee into someone’s back with zero attempt to play the ball and a team threatening him with aiming for his knees isn’t defending.
If you didn't watch the match, what is even the point of your take on it? It wasn't "rough" defending. They literally talked about wanting to injure him on the pitch among themselves in Italian.
Both Højlund and Kjær speak italian, and they could hear the SM defenders say that they were going to “smash Højlund” and “go for his knees”.
Have you ever played football at any level? Defenders say this shit all the time and Højlund was fine after the game.
Bro masvidal'd his back. And they allegedly tried to go after his knees.
