Wales will face Denmark in Amsterdam in the last 16 of Euro 2020, and dream of repeating their run in the Euro 2016 semifinals after passing Group A behind Italian leaders.
Meanwhile, Denmark overcame the fear and frustration of Christian Eriksen’s heart attack in their first game against Finland to qualify for the knockout stage as the second team in Group B despite losing their first two games.
After seating he was refreshed and heard in Copenhagen, Eriksen spent six days in the hospital after a fall and underwent surgery to replace his bladder.
“We suffered a lot and that night we kept playing. We played the best team in the world. [Belgium] A few days later we hit Russia playing hard, “said coach Kasper Hjulmand.
“It shows the power we have, both physical and mental.”
“We had enough crazy days in Copenhagen and the feeling of a full life,” Hjulmand said. “We are playing in the old Christian Eriksen village and we will give everything,” he said, referring to Amsterdam, home of Ajax Amsterdam and the former Eriksen club.
The Danes are looking to compete in a knockout at the European Championship for the first time since surprising the continent to win the cup in 1992.
It is exactly the same 29 years since Denmark last defeated Germany in Gothenburg after qualifying for the war-torn Yugoslavia.
Wales, meanwhile, will be denied travel assistance to Amsterdam as fans banned entry into the Netherlands from the United Kingdom.
Banning the trip does not apply to donors from Denmark, who like the Netherlands are in the European Union.
“We have been living in groups that we love or are very supportive of, against Turkey [in Baku] he had 18,000 in the ring so it doesn’t make any difference. When it comes to the team, we are just players on the field, “said captain Gareth Bale.
