Career

society

Rommedahl started his career at Høje Gladsaxe ; the stations Gladsaxe / Hero and B 93 followed . Until January 1997 he had been under contract with the Danish club Lyngby BK before moving to the Dutch Eredivisie for PSV Eindhoven . In the period up to the end of the 1996/97 season, Rommedahl only made a few appearances. In order to give him match practice, the PSV officials awarded him to league rivals RKC Waalwijk for the following season . There he developed into a regular player.

From the 1998/99 season he played again for PSV and also fought for a regular place there. In 2000, 2001 and 2003 he became Dutch champions with PSV Eindhoven. Especially in the 2002/03 season he was successful in attack with his strike partners Mateja Kežman and Arjen Robben . After a similarly good 2003/04 season with PSV (winning the Johan Cruijff Schaal and second place in the championship), the storm trio left the Eredivisie.

Rommedahl went to England at this time in the Premier League playing Charlton Athletic . While Kezman and Robben signed for Chelsea , he hadn't dared to move to a top club. Since joining Charlton Athletic, his career has stagnated. In his first season he came to 26 missions and scored two goals, in 2007 he was relegated with the club from the Premier League.

In 2007 he returned to the Eredivisie at Ajax Amsterdam. With Ajax he won the Johan Cruyff Schaal before the start of the season against his old club PSV Eindhoven. He could not meet expectations in Amsterdam and was awarded to the NEC Nijmegen during the winter break of the 2008/09 season , but there too it fell short of expectations.

For the 2010/11 season he moved to Greece for Olympiacos Piraeus on a free transfer . After he had not been able to earn a regular place in the club and did not meet expectations, he returned to Denmark in the summer of 2011, where he signed with the first division club Brøndby IF . In his first season he fought with the club from the Copenhagen suburb of Brøndby against relegation and finished ninth in the table. After two seasons in which he played 48 league games and scored six goals, he returned to the Eredivisie for RKC Waalwijk , was part of the squad (without commitment) and after losing the third round of relegation to the Eerste Divisie , in which he was also no longer used. On February 1, 2015, he terminated his contract with RKC Waalwijk.

National team

He made his debut in the dress of the Danish national team on August 16, 2000 in Tórshavn in a 2-0 win over the Faroe Islands in the Nordic Championship .

On October 7, 2000 in the qualifying game for the finals of the World Cup, Rommedahl scored his first international goals in a 1-1 draw against Northern Ireland . Two years later he was nominated for the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea; his first big tournament. In four games Rommedahl scored one goal in a 2-0 win over France . He also took part in the 2004 European Championship in Portugal, but failed to score in four games. At the 2010 World Cup, he scored a goal in the second group game against Cameroon. He played his last international game on June 11, 2013 in Copenhagen in the 4-0 defeat in the World Cup qualifier against the selection of Armenia . He ended his national team career on October 9, 2014.
