My Take
Rasmus Hojlund is the kind of striker I cannot help rooting for: 191 centimeters of raw running power who plays with the hunger of someone half his reputation. Breaking into Copenhagen's first team at seventeen takes nerve; carrying the striker's burden for Napoli and the Danish national team in your early twenties takes something closer to iron. What I value most is his refusal to hide during cold streaks; he keeps attacking the same channels, demanding the ball, trusting that goals follow conviction. Strikers live and die by confidence, and his appears structural rather than mood-based. If his finishing matures to match his engine, Denmark may have a generational number nine.
