Award
Meanwhile, Agger has been named Denmark's Player of the Year for the
second time.
The classy central defender was delighted to scoop the award after a successful year for club and country.
"Winning this award is one of the greatest things you can achieve as a Danish footballer," added Agger.
"I'm really committed to spending all my time involved in football.
"I have to admit that there were times when I doubted that I would ever stand here.
"I have been down and out with injuries but awards like this make me want to keep going.
"It is my attitude that means I am standing in this position."
