Kasper Hjulmand, Danish coach, appeared before the media to assess what will be the semi-final match against England and in which the figure of Eriksen, who is recovering from the cardiac collapse suffered in the first phase: “We are in permanent communication. I speak with him. I think about him all the time and I also did it when we entered the premises here in London. We feel that you are here with us. We play for him and with him. There is no doubt about that. That's what I can say about Christian. I hope that, if we reach the final, we will be together ”.
The coach was questioned about England's obligation to eliminate them: “There is no doubt that England has more pressure than us. But they will be helped by a large public, and they also hope to win us. Our players have quality and mentality. We definitely think we have a chance to pass. “
For Hjulmand, playing against England at Wembley will be a great challenge: “I've always said that it's great to play against the best. We must have these challenges and a mindset in which we try to beat those in front of us, no matter who they are. Imagine if we could beat England at Wembley… ”.
Finally, he praised the few Danish fans that may be in the field against the English majority: “We believe that we can win. It is what we are looking for. With almost 8,000 Danish fans living here, there is an expectation of joy. When the whistle blows, we'll be ready. The group is strong and is resting. We will deliver everyone out there. “
