Denmark And England they did not go beyond a 1-1 draw in the Frankfurt match valid for the second day of the Euro 2024 group stage. Morten Hjulmand responded to the goal scored by Harry Kane in the 18th minute in the 34th minute. In the second half, the attempts of Foden (post) and Hojbjerg (ball outside of very few) did not find the desired results, forcing the two coaches to settle for a point between each other. The former Lecce midfielder did very well, scoring a great goal from outside the area, as did the Bayern Munich Hurricane, who scored his first goal in this European Championship. The highly anticipated Bellingham and Eriksen failed, whose performances did not reach the satisfactory level (read the TMW report cards for Denmark-England here).
The analysis of England manager Gareth Southgate
“Clearly it didn’t go as well as we hoped. At the moment we are not exploiting our possession well enough and there is another level that we need to find. We need to press our opponents better than we have done in these two games. At the moment we are not playing as we would like. Alexander-Arnold? He had some moments where he gave what we expected, unfortunately we don’t have a natural replacement for Kane. We needed new energy, we played two games in a few days. We needed fresh forces. Harry has only played 90 minutes in the last month, so this is the decision we have made. There is a huge amount of work to do. We understand that people were disappointed with these performances and that’s right let it be so. We must do better.”
The analysis of Danish coach Kasper Hjulmand
“I’m not disappointed with the result, but it was clear that something more could have been done, in some moments we even thought we could win. We played as we are used to, this is who we are and we play with fire inside and a lot of passion” .
