Euro 2020: Denmark has a fast attack, a bad midfield and a superstitious boss with a lucky jumper

Denmark has become every other team in an exceptional way, which they pulled together after Christian Eriksens’ cardiac arrest in the opening game against Finland.

But Gareth Southgate knows that in addition to their emotional appeal, they also pose a threat to football in Wednesday’s semifinals at Wembley.

The Danes have not only scored 10 goals in their last three matches, but they have a lot of players with experience in top leagues who have been European champions in the past, in 1992, which is something of England.

HOW DOES DANES COMBINE?

They favor the back trio with captain Simon Kjaer, flanked by Premier League central defenders Andreas Christensen of Chelsea and Southamptons Jannik Vestergaard.

3-4-3 they have a fighting midfielder Thomas Delaney and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and don’t care to play the ball for a long time for midfield Kasper Dolberg, who has skilled runners on both sides Martin Braithwaite and Mikkel Damsgaard.

If leader Kasper Hjulmand wants even more momentum in the attacks, Yussuf Poulsen is an alternative to Dolberg. Extreme defender Joakim Maehle from Atalanta likes to get ahead and produced great help against the Czechs.

Hojbjerg will play alongside Harry Kanein in Tottenham, and guard Kasper Schmeichel has just helped Leicester City win the FA Cup.

Christensen has won the Champions League with Chelsea. Braithwaite once spent two years with Middlesbrough.

Vestergaard (Southampton) and Joachim Andersen (on loan from Fulham from Lyon) played in the Premier League last season, and Jonas Lossl and Mathias Zanka Jorgensen have done so with Huddersfield in the past.

Andreas Cornelius was previously in Cardiff and Christian Norgaard and Matthias Jensen play Brentford.

The last cross-country meeting led to a 1-0 victory for Denmark in October when Eriksen took a winning penalty and Harry Maguire was fired.

THE INFLUENCE OF CHRIST ‘S ERIKSEN

The image of Danish players forming a circle around 29-year-old Eriksen to give him some dignity when he got CPR on Copenhagen field will be remembered forever. His ordeal has inspired their campaign.

Denmark is on a magical run and wants to win euros for Christian Eriksen, who suffered a heart attack on the field in his opening match

PRECAUTIONARY…

Dolberg is a strong and technically talented central striker in the Kane mold and has already scored a goal three times in euros.

Pier Damsgaard turned 21 in Saturday’s victory against Ukraine, and he has that little magic that is even more important to his country in the absence of Eriksens.

Maehle, a defender on the left side of the right foot, has been one of the most significant players in the tournament.

OTHER KEYWORDS

Denmark won the 1992 European Championship with Peter Schmeichel in the finish line, and his son Kasper offers another huge hurdle for three decades.

Central defender Kjaer, as he demonstrated during the Eriksen event, is an inspiring leader, and midfielder Delaney and Hojbjerg are two street entrepreneurs.

In the absence of Eriksen, exciting Sampdoria winger Damsgaard is able to sprinkle Danish star dust.

Kasper Schmeichel, the son of Danish legend Peter, is a huge obstacle in the finish

CONGRATULATIONS

Manager Hjulmand wore his black zippered sweater against the Czechs in the final stages of winning despite the intense heat of Baku.

Afterwards, he said with a smile: The sweater is with me in Wembley.

Kasper Hjulmand revealed that the black zippered sweater is his lucky jumper and that he will be wearing it when Denmark plays for England in Wembley on Wednesday

FORM

Denmark entered Euro 2020 in excellent form, losing only twice in 28 matches. Then they lost their first two matches of the tournament – 1-0 to Finland in the shadow of the Eriksen event and 2-1 to Belgium despite an encouraging show.

But since then, the Danes have placed four Russia and Wales past before a fierce battle 2-1 against the Czech Republic in the quarterfinals.

PREVIOUS RESULTS

For once, in terms of football, history is on the English side.

The two nations have faced each other 21 times, with England winning 12 of them. Denmark has risen to the top only four times, while five other games ended in a draw.

However, Denmark takes reassurance that they won England at Wembley for the last time they played each other. Christian Eriksen scored from the penalty spot.
