For every Dane there will be nine Germans on the pitch | Relief

Dortmund (Germany).- The skies above Dortmund, after a few days of bright sunshine and temperatures above 30 degrees, are beginning to cloud over. For the round of 16 match between Germany and Denmark next Saturday (9:00 pm), cold and rain are expected to return.Even according to the German Meteorological Service, there is a chance of strong storms, which is what happened a week ago in the match between Turkey and Portugal. It is impossible not to look at the sky, although the German coach takes it a little easier by respecting the motto “I don’t worry about what I can’t control”. Kasper Hjulmand said it in his own way, of course: “I don’t know, I’m not thinking about it. We’re just focused on the game. If it rains or not, we’ll see.”.

He also has more important things to think about although the rain may affect the game. There are two capital city footballers like Eriksen and Delaney suffering from stomach problems. The first is doubt and he did not train this morning. The second one already missed the match against England but is ready now. The coach hopes that his pioneer will recover, and he is optimistic, even though he will arrive against “candidate” Germany with less training than the rest of his colleagues and in a state of uncertainty.: “We always have a backup plan for every player.” Short and to the point. Just in case.

There is a lot of uncertainty in this Euro Cup with the theoretical favorites. Only Spain managed to win all three matches and exceeded expectations with a young, dynamic, fast and strong team. Germany also supports Heulmand, although they did not get beyond a draw against Switzerland in the third match“Yes, I already said before the European Cup started that I consider Germany one of the favourites. They have quality, as they showed in the way they expressed themselves in the first two games, and their talent. We have a great team, they have to be in very good shape to be able to beat us.“, exposed.

Hjulmand is concerned about many aspects, especially who will play in attack, whether it is the giant Füllkrug or Havertz, the false nine, because that simplicity modifies the attacking behaviour of Nagelsmann’s Germany.It changes things, but we know that Volkrug will perform well during the match. We’re ready“, he said, to which the other player who appeared in Dortmund’s press room agreed. “Kasper made different preparations for different matches. We prepare for everything, and we have to change during the match. “We don’t care, we’ll see,” Jannik Vestergaard said.

50,000 Germans vs 8,000 Danes with some controversy

The coach is concerned about his team improving “skills in three quarters, because we are better on the ball”, although I understand that it is not his best match due to the strength of the opponent. And what will be tried in the stands. Not only is Heulmand looking to the sky, he also has his eye on the hell of the Westfalenstadion, where around 8,000 Danish spectators and more than 50,000 German spectators are expected to attend. Hostile environment in a stadium where atmosphere can win games.

“We will feel like Germany are playing at home. If we have up to 20,000 fans in other stadiums, we are happy, but tomorrow it will be like away from home. “They will give us their best and make noise.”At first, they barely got 6,000 seats out of 67,000 in the stadium, but they finally managed to get to 8,000, but Germany, who had acquired UEFA tickets by being at home and expecting to finish first in the group, will have unconditional support. “It’s a bit unfair, we could have sold more,” Danish player Alexander Bah said on Thursday.
