PLAYING STYLE Like Martens, Harder is known for an aggressive and upbeat playing style. This method matches the typical Denmark approach, which is to keep moving, pass frequently, and score goals on quick-developing plays. This high-tempo style of soccer has become ideal for many clubs around the world. It contrasts with the slower and more tactical play that is common with more traditional clubs, such as Germany. Here are a few shocking statistics that showcase just how good Harder has become. In her first eight years of senior club play, she scored 115 goals with seventeen coming in domestic cup matches. During the same time, she scored more than fifty goals for Denmark's national team. And her international cup career, which started in 2014, has earned her eight goals. For those keeping score at home, that's upward of 160 goals in seven years. To put that into perspective, that's an average of more than twenty- twos goals every year. KEY ICONS TO LOOK FOR:
