He is already a big name on the world wide web, the 18-year-old Danish Right Back from Brøndby If, who is yet to have his official debut for the Superliga side. This week we keep an eye on Svenn Crone.

Crone tied his football boots for the first time in the small club Rødovre BK, just an hour away from Brøndby Stadion where he, hopefully, will have his debut in the near future. That is what the talent is hoping for after he finish college next summer: 
"I aim to get closer to playing for the Superliga squad, and after the summer to fight for a place among the starting eleven. Until then there is nothing else to do than to do my best at every training both with the U19 as well as the Superliga squad  - and play well in our matches during spring," the talent says.
Crone has gone through a massive development since joining Brøndby in an early age. Coming from Rødovre where friendship was preferred rather than development for the talent, and where he played as a striker, to Brøndby and their professional environment was quite a step upwards. Not only was the training on a higher level, he also had to fight for his place on the match sheet:
"When you come to a club as Brøndby IF, you play with the best youth players in Denmark, which means there is competition on all positions of the team. You have to perform your best at training to get on the match sheet for every match."
It is worth noticing that when Crone came to Brøndby, he was placed on the 2. team where he spent six months. However, after a great performance he was spotted by one of the 1. team coaches who brought him into the 1. team for a week. Crone only needed that week to convince everyone that he was there to stay. The talent points out the U17 coach in Brøndby, John Ranum, as one of the reasons why he has come so far and developed to become that talent he is. Furthermore, Crone is not only playing every week for the Brøndby U19, but he is also the Captain and is hoping to take that role at a senior level one day.

However, Crone might not even get to play for Brøndby as the talent has not gone unnoticed in the world of football. Several blogs and websites describe Crone as one of the talents to keep an eye on for the future, as well as Inter Milano was reported to be interested in the defender back in 2012. The talent appreciate the credit, but keeps both feet planted on the ground:
"It's great that they keep an eye on me, no doubt about it, but it is not something I think about, the talent says."
Beside playing for Brøndby U19 Crone have achieved 30 youth national matches for Denmark, and is proud to be a part of the national youth system. The talent believes that the youth matches for Denmark can help him develop and help him earn a place in the Brøndby starting formation from summer. With two years left of his contract, Crone is fully committed to his club:
"Since I was a child, I've been dreaming of becoming a professional football player. The first step comes this summer where I will be playing for Brøndby, one of the greatest clubs in Denmark. From there, the next step will be to have a break through and then move to one of the biggest leagues in the world."
"If I could chose myself, I would play for a top club in the Premier League, the Bundesliga or the Premiere Division in Spain", the talent ends the interview.
