Tofting: no easy ride for Zizou

Denmark midfielder Stig Tofting is determined Zinedine Zidane will not make up for lost time at the World Cup against his side.

The French star, out of the first two games with a torn thigh muscle, was badly missed as Les Bleus lost to Senegal and drew against Uruguay.

Now the world’s most expensive player is fit again and ready to inspire the champions to the two-goal win against the Danes that is needed to avoid an embarrassing first-round exit.

But Bolton’s Tofting said: ‘‘I think they will be happy to have him back to take some of the pressure off, but it’s up to us to try to put him off his game.

‘‘We have to sit tight on him and not let him control the ball.’’
