“If you lose a player who scores seven, eight, or nine goals, you have ...” — Michael Laudrup Quote

If you lose a player who scores seven, eight, or nine goals, you have to find another one.

At Brondby, we had Daniel Agger, who came up from the youth. He had two years in the team, and then we sold him to Liverpool for nearly £7 million, which is a lot of money in Denmark. As a manager, that gives you even greater satisfaction that winning something as a player.

Of course money is important - to say it is not in football would be a lie. But to find a good player with potential for a small amount of money and then to develop him in the group is a great pleasure for a manager and for a club.

I do not like to use a player solely to make a member of the opposing team, for one simple reason: when we cannot retrieve the ball, we are forced to defend with ten men, giving the opponents an advantage.

It doesn't matter who scores the goals, just that we win the games.

We play with guys who don't care who scores the most, who rebounds the most... We play with guys who genuinely want to win.

I don't understand the criticism of Vinicius. Perhaps it's because he's better than everyone else, perhaps because he makes dribbles that others can't do, because he is faster than others, he scores goals, he gives assists.

I didn't listen to any of my dad's scores.

I think Haaland needs to give assists, he scores too much. Sometimes it's good also to give assists.
