Newswire From a news agency New plan
  • Brøndby lost 3-1 to FC Nordsjælland, its first defeat of the season.
  • Coach Thomas Nørgaard said the club wanted to reduce the squad further so more players could remain close to regular playing time.
  • Midfielder Benjamin Tahirović subsequently joined Belgian club Genk on loan for the rest of the season.

Thomas Nørgaard remained upbeat after Brøndby’s 3-1 defeat by FC Nordsjælland, saying the club still needed to make its squad smaller before the transfer window closes.

Nørgaard called the group exciting and strong, but said Brøndby expected to move out a couple more players. He wants a squad in which most players can see a path to playing time and remain involved with the match-day group.

I think we have had a good window. Now it is about getting the last players out, so we have a slightly more trimmed squad.

— Thomas NørgaardThe Brøndby coach discussed the club’s plans before the transfer window closes.

Shortly after the interview, Brøndby announced that midfielder Benjamin Tahirović would join Belgian club Genk on loan for the rest of the season.

Brøndby’s high pressing created openings but also allowed FC Nordsjælland to punish the team in several situations. Nørgaard said he would use the same approach again, while acknowledging that Brøndby lacked the final quality needed to make its chances clearer.

If I could play the match again, I would do exactly the same. That is what we are working on.

— Thomas NørgaardNørgaard defended Brøndby’s high-pressing approach despite the defeat.
