Description
Available in:

Simon Thorup Kjær (born 26 March 1989) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Serie A club AC Milan and captains the Denmark national team.

He was named 2007 Danish under-19 talent of the year and 2009 Danish Talent of the Year. Kjær has played over 120 matches for Denmark, including participation at the FIFA World Cup in 2010 and 2018, and the UEFA European Championship in 2012 and 2020.

In addition to speaking Danish, Kjær speaks five languages, including English and Italian (having learnt the language from his time at Palermo). Growing up, he idolised John Terry and Fabio Cannavaro and supported Liverpool. While his father was supportive of him becoming a footballer, his mother, a teacher, was not.

Despite not liking studying while attending school, Kjær was able to receive his diploma. He married his long-term girlfriend, Camilla. They have known each other since they were fifteen. However, they broke up and at some point, Kjær began a relationship with Elina Gollert, a Swedish national. Together, they have two children, Milas and Viggo. In the summer of 2017, they were married.

Kjær talked about superstitions, saying: "I am a believer but not a practitioner. The first sock I wear is always the right one. But not just before every game. I do it every morning."
