He recalled, "I grew up with Daniel Agger as my role model because he went from Brøndby to Liverpool early in his career. He was always a hope for a young player when you saw him break through and he was also in a Champions League final with Liverpool.
"I always learned that I should look at the Italian defenders such as Fabio Cannavaro when I was growing up. So I always watched them play.
"It was always them who I tried to learn from, so it's great for me if I am called the 'Danish Maldini'."
