Feyenoord Forward Jon Dahl Tomasson Wants To Break Denmark Records
The former Milan striker wants to be able to tell his children about his goal-getting exploits...
Oct 5, 2009 10:39:50 AM
Feyenoord attacker Jon Dahl Tomasson has already made 102 international appearances for Denmark and he is on the verge of adding his name to the record books as the country's all-time leading goalscorer, a fact that enthuses him greatly.
"Being Denmark's all-time leading scorer is a record I would love to have and would be very proud to call my own. It's one of these things you can tell your children about so, yeah, I'd love to make a bit of history and have my name in the record books," Tomasson told FIFA.com.
"What I'd love to do is get that goal in the next two games. And to score it against Sweden would be extra special. It's a huge game, it really is. Footballers will always tell you that the next game is the most important but it's really true for us in this case.
"Denmark-Sweden is always the big game in Scandinavia in any circumstances - it's huge for both countries - but obviously this one is extra special because so much is riding on it in terms of the World Cup.
"We feel confident about it because we're in a good position and have had some positive results against Sweden recently. And we'll be going all out for the win because, if we get all three points, I think we can start looking to book a nice hotel in South Africa.
"We've missed two major tournaments in a row and it's not like us, so it would be something special to qualify for South Africa. Everyone wants to be involved in these big tournaments and, over the past 25 years, Denmark has become used to always being there."
