Daniel Agger: I'm ready for Copenhagen derby Danish Interview
6Derby-ready: Daniel Agger has used national team break to give it gas, and it has helped to shape. - I'm not there yet, but I can feel that my body has done me good, says Brøndby star before the meeting with FCK 2. Easter Monday
Daniel Agger knows what he will be asked.
When he makes the interview, he will always be asked for the body, which has often been called fragile and who explains that he has played more games for Liverpool, Denmark and Brøndby.
And it is also the first Ekstra Bladet ask him after training in shining påskesol on runway 26 in Brondby.
- I'm okay. I think damn, he says with a quiet smile, as we move toward the clubhouse, where lunch to be taken this Good Friday.
Daniel Agger has not played since he had to be substituted with an indisposition against FC Copenhagen in the derby in the Park for almost four weeks ago.
The 30-year-old national team captain is not so happy to talk about it, and we get no closer than an 'I do not quite know what it was'.
Daniel Agger says he was uncomfortable in the week after, but otherwise has thrown the episode into one of the boxes in the head, there must be opened. At least not now.
- I have chosen to focus on that I'm on top again. The most important thing for me is that I have gotten over it and is doing well now, says Daniel Agger, which arise from the national team for test matches against the United States and France.
That he hates. And it frustrates him. National team defense-General says it is one of the things that hits him hardest. When he must call Morten Olsen and say 'it is not'.
- But sometimes you have to show some respect and think of his club and his health. So no matter how much it frustrated me, it was the right decision, says Brondby star that has got 66 international matches during the almost ten years, he has entered in Morten Olsen's plans.
It should have been to several. Many more. Daniel Agger should have rounded 100 games, and he knows it too well though.
- Had I been a little more fit and lucky, I had played many more matches. I do not know how many I've missed, but it's a lot.
- It has annoyed me in the past, and it annoys me still, but less so. Now it is about to play as many matches as possible and have the joy of it.
- Have I the pleasure and get into a good rhythm, I will also automatically get more matches. But it's one of the things that have driven me most, says Daniel Agger, who certainly have not used the test match break to pause.
Instead he has had his own little training camp and worked hard on his physique recent weeks.
Last week he was - according Ekatrabladet information - in Thomas Jørgensen's savvy wings at ProTreatment Dragor.
The physiotherapist has become known as a bit of a miracle man, and national team players as Nicklas Bendtner, Simon Kjaer and Thomas Kahlenberg has used him as a therapist and trainer, like Thomas Jørgensen has worked with Kevin Magnussen.
Daniel Agger does not want to comment on Ekstra Bladet reports that he now has a collaboration with the renowned treats.
- There is no reason to. I train just what is good for me. It is most important to me, and otherwise not in it. The main thing is that I am ready and have improved my form.
- I have ram med over the last 10-12 days. It has been constant. It is not much, the family has seen me, but there it is. I know how it is to be a football player, and they know it, fortunately.
- How much time do you spend to get in shape?
- Very much, and I also spend many evenings. I can go to the gym and do some stability training or strength training.
- It is a realization that I have a body that requires maintenance, and I always try to optimize my body.
Daniel Agger's body has through the years been blamed for much been called a problem and stamped as fragile. But in fact, the body has hardly been the biggest problem.
It has Daniel Agger's eagerness to join the fight for club and country. He hanged himself up on the cross for the sake of others and played matches, he should not have played. It has cost the injury front.
