a different selection

Denmark captivated local and foreign fans during the past summer. Kasper Hjulmand’s pupils, beyond what happened with the new Brentford midfielder, managed to get a large part of the neutral spectators to support the Danish team. Schmeichel, who spoke at the Daily Mail on the influence of his father Peter Schmeichel and the elimination against England at Euro 2020, states that during the national team tournament he experienced “something that I never thought would happen”. And it is that the European Championship showed the Danish goalkeeper “what national team football can mean.”

While “in England, national team football has a very bad reputation, and everyone is sad when the international break arrives”, Schmeichel says that he doesn’t know “any Dane who thinks like that. The national team is the only thing that unites us as a country. When we drive from the hotel to our stadium there are people on the streets, on the bridges, reds and whites everywhere. It is a unique experience. There is nothing comparable. It excites me to even talk about it.”. While the Danes united for football, Christian Eriksen united the world of football for Denmark.
