Tempers go at Brondby
Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Brondby promote Simon Vestergaard from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Simon Vestergaard has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Jacob Ambæk gets picked when it counts
Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Jacob Ambæk is on it.

Ousmane Sow knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Brondby, and both men came out saying it was fine.
