Christian Thers Norgaard (born 10 March 1994) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Premier League club Brentford and the Denmark national team. He came to prominence in his homeland with Brondby and has been capped by Denmark at international level.
Norgaard won 73 caps and scored five goals for Denmark between U16 and U21 level. He was a part of the Danes' 2011 U17 World Cup and 2015 and 2017 European U21 Championship squads. Norgaard was four times an unused substitute for the senior team during 2018–19 Nations League group stage and Euro 2020 qualifying matches in 2018 and 2019. On 8 September 2020, Nørgaard made his debut for the senior team with a start in a 0–0 Nations League draw with England and his performance was recognised with the DBU's man of the match award. After winning three further caps during the 2020–21 season, Norgaard was named in the Denmark squad for Euro 2020.
Norgaard has been described as "technically good and looks to pass the ball forward. Importantly, he is also good at intercepting passes and has a strong defensive mindset". He "can play in a variety of different positions in the midfield, but has given his best performances as a deep midfield player".<\/P>","82CBDCB828DBDF896209A361CA981BCF":"","9EBD0BFF9766B31DEF99430639A2F292":"Fiorentina","F27CBDD6332F20A59321B0F4E9CF2AB8":"6","FA149E2002A43ED77C24C62CDFF094A5":"1","C6E00DEB351621C4":"277475","0C852134AA40B2DD":"1","DA5E7C1A0F1CB829A66A16651D2472FD":"Denmark","4678B5349347B7EB":"75kg","0FCC2F07B9D0EBFD":"Brentford","30A86FC0880FF75E":"187cm","09702F2B27619389F07D77F05427B135":"2019-7-1","2B5572269355781B0007104B7181FA88":"1994-3-10","A16D5E6475634BB1C2248B183B7E41495B218039EB2EF0A3":"1","A7F9B63E25A659E5":"Christian Thers Norgaard","8DC362CCE065919BCF40467C0DE6A7E8":"
