Andreas Christensen Aims to Score More Goals While Prioritizing Defensive Duties

Andreas Christensen, the Danish defender, expressed his desire to contribute more goals for his national team, despite his primary focus remaining on defending. This statement follows his impressive goal in Denmark’s 3-0 victory against Greece.

Christensen scored his fourth international goal during the match against Greece, dribbling from midfield and curling the ball into the net. He acknowledged his increasing ambition to be an attacking threat but emphasized his role as a defender.

While Christensen aims to improve his goal-scoring record, he admits that defending remains his priority. He also revealed that he does not dedicate significant time to shooting practice. His previous goals have often come in crucial matches, including a World Cup playoff against Ireland and a goal against Russia in the 2021 European Championship.

Christensen’s goal against France in 2022 made him Denmark’s top scorer at the World Cup in Qatar. The recent match against Greece marked his return to the national team after a period of absence due to injuries.

He noted the ease with which he reintegrated into the team, praising the team’s energy and his partnership with Joachim Andersen in central defense. Following the win against Greece, Christensen received high praise from teammates and coaches, with some calling him “Denmark’s best player.”

Despite the accolades, Christensen remains humble, stating that he dislikes talking about himself.
