Enjoying his best moment since arriving at Benfica last January, Kasper Tingstedt has already caught the attention of his compatriots. The goal against Sporting, which gave the Eagles victory in the derby, and the performance against Famalicao, in the Portuguese Cup, made the Danes once again pay attention to the striker.

Tingstedt trained in Midtjylland, and starred with Norwegian Rosenborg last year, where he scored 15 goals in 14 matches, without forgetting 6 assists. Roger Schmidt was already well known, and led Benfica to spend 7 million euros, plus 3 million in goals.

“He’s very humble, and he likes to score goals,” says Mikkel Vøre Nielsen, a journalist for Tipsbladet, recalling his short time in Norwegian football. “It wasn’t just luck, he scored great goals. He’s a great striker. I hope he does great things. He’s young but he’s improving,” he added. register.

In the second half of last season, after a period of hiatus from playing, Tingstedt participated in four matches with the reserve team and four with the main team. The goals came in the 2023/24 season. He opened the way to victory over Amadora, sealed the victory over Sporting, and made a cross that ended in the first goal against Famalicao, last Saturday.

“He’s well-known in Denmark. Naturally, leaving Rosenborg for Benfica was a big step in his career and he needed time to adapt. When he was in Norway, he scored a lot of goals and that drove the Danes crazy, to the point where they asked him to be called up to the national team.” “I’m sure it will continue to excel here in Denmark. It still has a long way to go,” he adds.
