Anders Bleg Christiansen (born 8 June 1990) is a Danish professional footballer who plays for Allsvenskan club Malmö FF as a midfielder. He also serves as club captain since 2020. A full international since 2014, he was part of the Denmark squad at UEFA Euro 2020.
Due to the moderate mutual intelligibility between Danish and Swedish, Christiansen speaks a less dialectal version of his native language to the Swedish press as Malmö captain. He became fully comfortable with comprehending Swedish speech after severa…
l years in the country. This caused reactions when the Swedish broadcaster began an interview with him in English in 2020, only for Christiansen to respond that he preferred to do a cross-lingual interview instead.
Christiansen grew up as a supporter of English club Liverpool. During his professional career he has admitted it became a 'bit more distant'.
Christiansen has represented the Denmark national team in three friendlies. After a successful spring in Malmö he got called up by former Malmö coach Åge Hareide in May 2016, but had to decline after suffering a thigh injury. He was, surprisingly to most, included in the 26-man squad for the UEFA Euro 2020 tournament by Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand.
