Vejle Boldklub Kolding, former known as Vejle Boldklub, have produced midfielders as Allan Simonsen and Thomas Gravesen. Great Dane Football Blog puts focus on the next midfield talent: Jeppe Andersen.
The nineteen year old talent describes himself as a "relatively skilled technical player, who is great in the small spaces and is creative in the attacking play" but at the same time, Andersen is capable of playing a number of positions on the midfield. Nicolai Wael, First team coach in VBK says:
What Andersen especially likes about Vejle Boldklub Kolding is "the history of the club and the way of playing football". However, asked if he was one of the last "club men" in modern football, Jeppe Andersen answered:
Coach Nicolai Wael supports the young player in his dreams, but wants Andersen to "take the next step into Superligaen" and from there develop himself.
Jeppe Andersens Denmark career started at the age of seventeen, when he was selected for the Danish U18 national team. Since then, he has played eleven matches for Denmark. The midfielder acknowledge the experience he is getting with the youth teams, but also dreams of playing for the A-team within a few years.
Andersen has so far played forty four matches for Vejle Boldklub Kolding and scored seven goals. The talent is in the squad for the away match against Skive IK on Sunday.
