In Venice, Jens Odgaard’s game was once again of the highest level, especially after Dallinga left the field when he started playing as a central forward. The Dane is now a staple of Italiano’s team, and when he was out due to injury, his absence was felt. In the Venice game, however, what caught the attention of spectators was a red circular mark present on Odgaard’s neck.
There were several interpretations: some thought it was cupping therapy, which aims to reduce muscle pain, but Odgaard himself explained the origin of the mark on his neck. “It is just a medicine I have to use for my neck, nothing serious,” was the explanation of the red and blue number 21. No bite from a zombie or jellyfish then for Odgaard, who is simply struggling with a dermatological problem.
