Henrik Dalsgaard (Released)

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

How is Henrik playing ? caught up with work !

 

[To Bee Someone]

Solid game. Plenty of blocks and interceptions

 

[red_and_white]

He's been excellent defensively

 

[Leonardo]

I thought he was really good esp. against the nippy Aussie teenager. But the Danes play so narrow and don't like him bombing too far up the pitch from his killer crosses.

 

[nick logan]

put in a couple of superb crosses too

 

[AB]

I thought he was really good esp. against the nippy Aussie teenager. But the Danes play so narrow and don't like him bombing too far up the pitch from his killer crosses.

First half they had both full backs pushing up a long way, but when defending they played the back 4 very narrow, almost like 4 centre backs, with the wide attackers coming back to do full back duties. He's not asked to do anything dazzling, but in the two games so far has been very solid and offered a lot both attacking and defending within a disciplined set up so I wouldn't be surprised if we got offers for him, particularly if he has a good showing against France. Hopefully nothing that will tempt us to sell, but he's a sign of the quality of our team.

 

[Deanb]

Dalsgaard saved the game for the Danes second half keeper nowhere to be seen just blocked out an Aussie player open goal.

 

[8 Bee]

I did that last match....but I'm now questioning the wisdom......might give him a 1....as I don't want him to leave! (unless we've resigned Colin for low fee and wages :tongue

No worries - other clubs will be looking out for a player called Dalsgord as the commentator kept calling him.

And yes, he had a very good game in attack and defence.

Yeah did that in the first match.

 

[South Acton Bee]

If he keeps this up we be getting bids for him !

 

[Leedsbee]

Shouldn't be a surprise we keep finishing at the top half of one of the best leagues in the world, there are some bloody good footballers playing for Brentford at the moment.

I think he was trying to pronounce it correctly. If you look back early on in this thread I think one of our Danish Bees posted that in Danish his surname sounds more like Dawlsgore. Commentators have also been pronouncing the ch in Mascherano as a hard c (Mas-kerano) rather than part of a soft sch (Mash-erano). Remember that when ordering bruschetta for extra points (brush-etta and brus-chetta are wrong).

A lot of Argentinians are of Italian descent, although Argentina's official language is Spanish. In Italian, Mascherano would be pronounced "Mas ker ano" as you say. And you are correct that bruschetta should be pronounced "brusk etta". The "h" is there to make the "c" hard, otherwise, where "c" is immediately followed by "e" or "i", it would be pronounced "ch". There is no letter k in the Italian alphabet, only in (to them) "foreign" words. I often wonder if the Spurs manager's name should be pronounced "Pokett ino", rather than "poch ettino".

I suspect you're right when it come to pronouncing Dalsgaard - it tends to get Anglicised by those of us (including me) who speak no Danish.

that cross for the header, quality whip on it

If I might stray further off topic, an Argentinian woman on the Guardian podcast pronounced Caballero as CabeSHero. Apparently it's specific to Argentina and Uruguay.

Although many Argentinians will have had a different pronunciation for his name last night.

Yes Ulloa another one where that applies

 

[Humblebee]

True. My Spanish speaking Brighton supporting mate used to pronounce it differently when Ulloa was with them.

 

[jlove]

Just to complete the off-topicness detour, yes, there is a considerable difference between Castilian as spoken in Spain today and the various versions in Central and South America. Mexican Spanish is like US English, that is based on a version spoken a century or two ago, while, further South, in Argentina I've been told by Spanish colleagues that they can't understand much at all due to the pronunciation.

Just one more deviation, apparently at the time Cervantes wrote Don Quixote, the x would have been pronounced ks as we do, rather than h as modern Spaniards do.

 

[Humblebee]

Let's face it, we're just a lot of deviants.....

 

[larrysigny]

The HD as in Henrik Dalsgaard seems to be silent on this thread as well.

In the Caribbean too, most people forget the most populous islands in the Carribbean are (mainly) Spanish speaking - Cuba, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola (the Dominican side). For example "jugo de china" in Puerto Rico and the Domincan Republic would get you orange juice, in Spain it would get you a funny look. I know of at least 4 different ways of saying a coach (transport) in Spanish, there are so many variations like this, you often see Facebook videos of people discussing them

Is it "National Speak Like a Pirate Day" again already??...... lol

WhoScored.com made him man of the match!

Working in the south of France several decades ago, I had a couple of Spanish friends. I was always amused at their interpretation of English words. The great bard, for example, is known as Sackesspayaarray.

And a small coach/bus in parts of Spanish speaking South America is called a buseta but that means something completely different in Brazil.

Unsurprising. They speak a different language in Brasil, namely Brasilian Portugese.

Keep the discussion to Henrik Dalsgaard, please.

A good start for HD in WC’18.

 

[Leonardo]

In the World Cup team of the 2nd round! To be mentioned alongside world class stars like Kroos is amazing.

where is this please? i tried to find it but couldn't

starts again.

starts again.

Playing as a RWB/RM it seems today...

 

[Bush Tuckerman]

If he plays well again today we should accept the £35m for him and Maupay...so we can turn down the £40m for Meps!

 

[wanderer paul]

It’s a Portuguese website I think. HD isn’t in the who scored team of the first round games.

 

[rhbee]

Put in a good performance so far. Shame he can't show his attacking skills but oh well.

 

[Ace Face]

Solid as a rock so far.

 

[SH]

Really solid again, more good PR for the Bees... and more cash for the club too. What's not to like?

 

[Ubee]

Couldn’t watch the game - I gather he gave a good account of himself?

Now the first serving bee to play in the knockout round of the WC.

 

[rebus]

Now unbeaten in 10 matches for Denmark while a Brentford player. If they get to the semi-finals, he'll be our second most capped player of all time.

 

[Mikey Bee]

Does anyone know if there's a reason why commentators refer to him as the first "contracted" Brentford player to play in the World Cup rather than just simply the first Brentford player?

 

[wanderer paul]

Now unbeaten in 10 matches for Denmark while a Brentford player. If they get to the semi-finals, he'll be our second most capped player of all time.

Only Hreiðarsson (12), Hopkins (12) and Buttigieg (22) ahead of him now.

 

[rebus]

Point of order. Only 20 for Buttigieg - those other two caps belong to his club prior to Brentford.

 

[JANORAK]

I think it’s worded like that on the O/S.

 

[Mikey Bee]

I know but why? The wording suggests there was another player who appeared at the WC who wasn't.

Weren't there others who had been on loan to us, e.g. Tommy Smith of Ipswich/NZ, hence the distinction?

 

[Chorlton Bee]

And past players like Brian Turner for New Zealand in 82 or 86....maybe not that name but similar, I'd never heard of him till it was mentioned at the time.

I saw Brian Turner play for us in 1970/71, big, strong, nails midfielder but a bit cumbersome.
