Daniel Agger is relishing the chance to take part in his first World Cup.
The Liverpool defender made his international debut in 2005 but Denmark failed to qualify for the 2006 finals in Germany.
“Yes, there is a lot of excitement,” he said.
“I think Denmark was a bit spoiled a few years ago and played in almost every tournament, even though we are a small country. So yes, the excitement is there.”
Agger, who is set to line up against Anfield team-mates Dirk Kuyt and Ryan Babel in their opening game against Holland on Monday, is desperate to repay the faith shown in him by national team manager Martin Olsen.
Agger added: “He gave me the chance with the national team quite early so I am grateful for that and he is a really good coach.
“I can’t say anything bad about him.
“He knows everything about the game and he is what you would call a proper football man.”
