Simon Kjær was very dissatisfied with the match referee.
It wasn't the historic football game for the record-holder Simon Kjær that he had hoped for.
After the final whistle, he was also not pleased, neither with the Danish performance nor with the match referee.
Of course, we say something on the field, and then the referee starts to get frustrated with us because we're saying something. But that's part of the game, Kjær told TV 2 Sport before elaborating.
And then I say in the end that there's a clear red card on the one against Højlund. It's 100 percent intentional, and I think there was a situation with Neymar where it was exactly the same, where he gets a knee to the spine and breaks his back.
Here, the captain refers to a situation in the second half where Rasmus Højlund got a knee directly in the back and fell to the ground in great pain.

It's dangerous, and there are three referees right next to it. They (the San Marino players) have just told him that they're going after his knee after the incident down there. Is that something you understand?
Yes, and I also say it to the referee and ask if he wants me to translate it for him now. It's the referee who sets the line, and he must decide. I can't understand it. We also have VAR. You can see it from the back that he does it 100 percent intentionally, frustrated Simon Kjær said. He can, however, take solace in the fact that it ended with three important points for Denmark.
Cause his career is on the line? If this is okay. More teams will do it. And he won't last 10 games?
