This man is going to do something special with Denmark this World Cup 🔥👑

[@michaelfarrow5817]

I really hope so. It would be a great postscript to a horrible story.

[@Ezio999Auditore]

Yes, He’s going to collapse a 2nd time.

[@davidftgc5120]

Rip

[@deathkampdrone]

Yup, he went on and chose a different approach: forget performing on the pitch and focus on human rights in the Middle East. Very impressive how he turned no 10 in the world rankings into the most boring, spiritless team at the whole tournament. Even hosts Qatar were fucking better than us at playing actual football :/ Hjulmands success was a fluke, painted by circumstances. I say this as a dedicated danish fan. He is an embarrassment! Starting over from scratch now…

[@bennygameplays4090]

Denmark loves Hjulmand, this man might be the most popular guy in the country

[@lassemarkussen11]

Also after the world cup???

[@SteffanPedersenATL]

So articulate and packed with deep messages around identity, togetherness and hope. A must watch whether you're even a football fan or not. Kom sa Danmark!

[@90min_football]

Great manager, great interview

[@Mike-zx1kx]

WHY has this brilliant clip not gone viral yet?

[@benhaines.5064]

What a man. Special vid 😍

[@Truth_Plug]

Hjulmand deserves a big club after the world cup. As a Dane i would be sad to see him go, but this guy is amazing and could def be a top top manager in europe

[@saibot7218]

Would love to see him in EPL

[@oliverboisen7475]

I could absolutely see him take over at like a Dortmund. His style of football definitely suits a team like that

[@laeyend]

Kasper's words are so incredibly inspiring. Again. Grateful. ❤️

[@alexdubois4920]

Crazy how much can change in 2 weeks

[@bertramcasilliasalexanderb2060]

can't hate this guy

[@jebbo-c1l]

fuck I love this man. Here's to a historic world cup 🇩🇰🇩🇰

[@magnusl.eriksen5507]

KZbin recommended me to watch this video, and so i did. Then 3 minutes and 10 seconds into the video i recognise 4 of My classmates, one Them being the guy with a White t-shirt. What the fuck Are the odds

[@Mike-zx1kx]

Fifa are corrupt. All Danes are behind our national team. It are not their fault. I hope they understand that many people around the world that did not qualify or will leave the tournament early probably also will remember Christians cardiac arrest and everything that happened since and will enjoy seeing the miracle of a fully fit and very well playing Christian Eriksen in the Danish national team that acted so perfect in Copenhagen. I am though proud that Danes only have bought 2000 tickets combined in Denmarks first 3 matches. I hope the team can feel the love from home and around the world. They all truly deserve it.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Kimdk87]

Good guy, but I think a bit too soft and touchy-feely for a top job in a club. He fits well as a manager of a national team. I don't think he will be able to control huge egos in top clubs.

[@fike2951]

you know nothing

[@Kimdk87]

@@fike2951 Well I am danish and have Bern following him All his career, but ok

[@Valjean666dk]

I don't know about the ability to control huge egos, but certainly he doesn't seem a good fit for your typical top club. I don't know if there are any top clubs with that kind of culture. He may have to go the route of Thomas Frank, and be part of building something.

[@livililla]

i dont get why being a warm and sympathetic person would make you a bad manager for a bigger team? he's very progressive and cares about his players' well-being, which is essential for the players mental health and relationship to the team and their work.

[@solfeggietto8306]

It's interesting he's saying none of the human rights organisations have said to boycott. Wonder what the notion is there.

[@theghostofsw6276]

No refunds!

[@davidftgc5120]

This did not age well😂

[@jeremywallace5924]

not the right context to say that
