Brondby boss Niels Frederiksen is mercilessly mocked on Twitter for holding up a whiteboard

Brondby boss Niels Frederiksen has caused quite the stir online after he was pictured writing down his tactics during a game on a whiteboard to show his players.

The Danish side picked up a huge three points against their Superliga title rivals Midtjylland, moving within a point of the summit.

And Frederiksen’s improvisation seemed to spur his team on as he wrote the words ‘KEEP ATTACKING’ on a whiteboard as his players couldn’t hear him over the 8,000 fans inside the stadium.

Fans seemed to love the 50-year-old’s initiative and saw the funny side of his methods, as they took to Twitter.

One Twitter user edited the image to make it look as if he had penned the opening line to John Barnes’ infamous rap on World in Motion.

The whiteboard read: ‘Hold, give, do it at the right time.’

Another football fan said: ‘When I’m 1-0 down in the last game of the season to get promoted against bottom of the league in Football Manager’ 

Someone chose to mock the simplicity of his instructions, quote tweeting the image with the caption: ”kick the ball really hard in the goal’ 

The joking around didn’t stop there, as one fan said: ‘Another great moment in the history of football tactics’

Another tweeted: ‘Him and Paul Ince together would be unstoppable,’ referencing the time a camera caught Ince’s notepad during a match in charge of Blackburn with the word ‘Shoot’ written down.

‘Well, did not you see what was written on it? It said ‘keep attacking,” he said.

After the match, Frederiksen revealed the reason why he wrote down those two words on the whiteboard. 

‘I could not get in touch with my players, there was an absolutely amazing soundscape out here.

‘One should not think that there were only 8,000 spectators. One would think there were 30,000. I had trouble getting the messages onto the pitch.

‘So I decided to send one of my assistants in and write on the sign so everyone could see it.’
