Agger: Danes won't settle for draw
iverpool defender Daniel Agger is anxious for Denmark's World Cup campaign to get started, and says they are targeting a win against Holland.[LNB] The Dutch are the outright favourites to top Group E, while the Danes are widely expected to be competing for second place along with Japan and Cameroon.[LNB]Therefore the Scandinavians could be forgiven for looking to take at least a point from their opening game on Monday.[LNB]But that is not the case according to Liverpool defender Agger.[LNB]He said: "We're looking forward to getting started.[LNB]"There are four teams in the group and everybody's competing for those top-two places, not only Holland, the other teams as well.[LNB]"A team like us is always going out to win and it's the same against Holland. We'll be trying to win the game."[LNB]His team-mate Jesper Gronkjaer was slightly more circumspect, warning that their opponents are amongst the favourites for the title.[LNB]"They are a very good team, a very young team with players who play all around Europe at big teams. They are surely one of the favourites to win the World Cup.[LNB]"It will be a hard task for us, even though we will be going in to win the game. If we can get something out of the game we will be happy."[LNB]One player likely to miss the game is Nicklas Bendtner and there are also suggestions that the forward could be out for longer due to his groin injury.[LNB]Asked about the prospect of his team-mate not playing at the finals, Agger said: "It won't be good, but on the other side it's football.[LNB]"You have to play with the players that are available. We have good players in the squad, so we'll have to take it from there."[LNB]Former Chelsea winger Gronkjaer, who now plays at FC Copenhagen, added: "Obviously it's going to be a blow because he is a great player and is the number one striker in Denmark at the moment.[LNB]"He's had a decent season at Arsenal. He's been injured for quite a while, but came back strongly in the spring.[LNB]"We're all hoping that he'll be okay, but if he's not we're still going to play with 11."
