Bjelland creates his box for a Danish defence

Andreas Bjelland’s personal trail to a FIFA World Cup™ mirrors that of his nation. The defender done his general entrance 4 months after Denmark’s many new World Cup game, their better opposite Japan during South Africa 2010, and has played a pivotal purpose in securing his country’s lapse to a tellurian theatre after an eight-year absence.

“It’s been a prolonged journey,” Bjelland told FIFA.com in an disdainful interview. “I started off by removing a call-up from a U-21s. There was an damage and we started a comparison side’s diversion [against a Czech Republic]. It was a large moment. we went to a Euros in 2012 and didn’t play, yet hopefully that’ll change during a World Cup. I’m going there to get some minutes.”

He played all 180 mins of a Danes’ essential subordinate play-off double-header opposite a Republic of Ireland. A succinct goalless pull in a initial leg in Copenhagen set adult a huge charge in a lapse compare for Hareide’s group in Dublin. When recalling a games, Bjelland exudes a certainty that saw his side redeem from a tough position.

“We were anticipating for them to pierce a train they parked in front of a idea [in Copenhagen] when they played during home,” Bjelland said. “They did that when they scored a initial goal, and we were a small bit taken aback. People were articulate a lot about them carrying some-more passion than a Danish players. That only wasn’t true. If we don’t trust and don’t have a passion to go to a World Cup, we might as good stop playing.”

“Even yet they scored first, we felt like we were going to score, with a peculiarity we have. we didn’t consider it was going to be 5-1 though. That was only an unimaginable feeling.”
