Rewind: Jens Odgaard he did it again. Once again two consecutive goals in his first starts in the league: against Genoa and Cagliari. Again from the edge of the area, still in the corner. Cold, rigid and decisive like the climate of his native Denmark. From his debut with Thiago Motta last season to confirm with Italian. Second match of the season in the Emilian rossoblù starting eleven and the usual script. Networks that contain stories, events, anecdotes and strange crosses of fate. We will be back.
“Home run”
Not even a playing time. It takes 35 minutes flat Jens Odgaard, last season, to record the first ‘Home run’ at the Dall’Ara stadium. No misunderstanding, just a question of passion. The one for baseball at home Odgaard he doesn’t hide. And that ‘home run’ remained his way of celebrating after goals. Lecce and Fiorentina are the first victims of designer ‘swing’ Jens OdgaardGenoa and Cagliari this year. Rewind: a leap into the legend of Dall’Ara. Only Roberto Baggio, beforestriker born in 1999manages to score two goals since just arriving in Bologna. And if this isn’t a “home run”…He who certainly doesn’t miss anything when it comes to “legends”. Idol? Ronaldinho.
A desire, that of becoming a footballer, which led him to leave his studies at a very young age in his native Hillerød. He, who at just sixteen years old is capable of making his debut in National Cupthe Danish top league, as a substitute and within two minutes he scored his first professional goal wearing the shirt of Lyngby. The opponent? THE’Aalborg, his father’s favorite team. Known, followed, admired, suffered and supported for years; in the sweetest context.
From the record “blown” to Pinamonti to the assists of Borja Valero: Odgaard’s Inter
The dream will continue in the name of opportunity. The one that sees and grasps with the shirt of Inter’s Spring. 180 minutes in total on Italian soil and immediately the ball in the net. This is the summary of the first moments of the boy ‘with golden curls’ who appears at the court of Stefano Vecchi in 2017. A goal on his debut against Udinese Primavera and then… a hat-trick. In the derby with Milan Spring. Before that he even scored 5 goals in the Otten Cup which took away his teammate’s lead in the scoring charts Andrea Pinamonti. In Genoa-Bologna the former teammate will serve as his lookout. Impeccable season in the Nerazzurri shirt with ‘trebles’ attached: Primavera Championship, Primavera Super Cup and Viareggio Tournament. Team and individual results that will convince the first team coach Luciano Spalletti to call him up for the summer retreat in Brunico. He will experience the thrill of training with strikers like Jovetic and Icardi, he will be able to enjoy the assists of Borja Valero, but for the Serie A You’ll have to wait. The meeting with Zaniolo and the pleasure of sharing.
The awareness found at Az Alkmaar, the girlfriend and that phone call…
The prospects of Jens began to consolidate over the years in Holland. Two seasons atTHE Alkmaar, 14 rarely and a philosophy that will change the way he plays: “Keep the ball and play it with quality.” Designer football THE found in Motta and confirmed by Italian. The opportunity to resume the path, to consolidate certainties and realize oneself. A phone call from comrades Jesper Karlsson e Beukema: “Bologna is great and the people are fantastic”. A chat with your girlfriend, a caress with your faithful four-legged friend and finding yourself walking through the arcades of Piazza Maggiore and Santo Stefano is normal. Scoring against Dall’Ara rewind like many: Jens Odgaard.
