Mads Mensah Larsen has played his final match for the Danish national team. Although winning European Championship gold at the Jyske Bank Box in Herning was a perfect ending to a great story, the experienced back’s decision still came as a surprise to head coach Nikolaj Jacobsen.
The Danish coach does not hide that he would have liked Mensah to remain part of the national team for a while longer:
“It came as a bit of a surprise to me when Mads said he felt it was the right time to stop. I told him I don’t know if I fully agree with that decision, but of course I respect it,” Jacobsen said.
