Leeds United are currently 18th in the table with 31 points, one point behind 17th placed Everton and three behind Nottingham Forest, who are in 16th spot.
These three clubs, along with Leicester City [19th], have two games left to avoid relegation from the Premier League this season.
Leeds defender Rasmus Kristensen has told FC Midtjylland’s official website what it’s like to be in this situation.
“Leeds is a great place and a good club. Right now, we feel the pressure, but it is part of being in this world,” he said.
Leeds took the 25-year-old from Red Bull Salzburg last summer. With regards to his time in the Premier League, Kristensen explained: “The paradox is that I have gone into each and every day and done everything I could without having had any concrete objectives.
“It hasn’t fully dawned on me either, all that I’ve achieved. Playing in the Premier League has always been somewhat unrealistic.”
The Denmark international came through the ranks of Midtjylland’s academy and made his way into their first team in 2016, before leaving them for Ajax in 2018.
Even though his deal at Leeds lasts until 2027, the right-back has talked about the possibility of returning to the Danish club in the future.
“Now I want to see how far I can push it, and then I will hopefully go home to Midtjylland one day, if I am still welcome at that time,” he said.
“I have always had a dream to come back to Midtjylland. Ever since I switched to Ajax, I have always thought that one day I will end up at FCM. It’s football and it’s not just me who decides, so we’ll have to see. But it’s something I’ve never hidden.”
His immediate focus lies elsewhere and he wants to enjoy ‘more great experiences’.
“I find peace in the fact that I have done well. I try to take all my experience with me in the pursuit of the next. Football is a wonderful world that is indefinable. I keep my nose in the groove and try to feel good while doing what I like best,” the Leeds player added.
