RB Salzburg midfielder Mads Bidstrup has admitted he decided to leave Brentford this summer as he didn’t have the same feelings he does with the Austrian club.
The 22-year-old has been speaking to Fan.at after arriving in the summer in a €6m deal from Brentford.
The youngster had been with the Bees since August 2020 when he joined Brentford’s B side from RB Leipzig’s U19s but never managed to establish himself in London, managing just 14 appearances in all competitions.
He spent last season on loan away from the club, joining Nordsjaelland on loan in January 2022 before returning in June this year.
He’s been a regular for them so far, making 13 appearances in all competitions to date and fully justifying his decision to leave Brentford in the process.
Not that he believes there needs to be any justification as he’s more than happy with what’s happened, admitting it’s all a case of feelings.
“People who deal with football know that this club is something special, that special things are happening here,” he said.
“The most important thing was to play an important role within the team. I had this desire before, but I did not have this desire in Leipzig and Brentford.
“At Nordsjaelland I noticed that I needed exactly that and thereby become a better player. In Salzburg, people were convinced that I could play a special role.”
