Jens Stage thankfully survived the attack but there is now concern in the country that similar incidents could take place
Early this summer, the Denmark Under-21 international Jens Stage received a threatening message on Facebook. It read: “You will never be in Aarhus again – Judas.” Stage’s apparent crime was that he had joined FC Copenhagen from local side AGF.
AGF had been paid around £2.2m for the services of the versatile 22-year-old, which is among the biggest sums paid for a player moving between two Danish clubs, but that did not stop some fans from being infuriated by the deal.
