‘We’ll ha’ the victory of the country, and we are with all the man’. This is the sound of the chorus at one of the numerous fodboldsange, which is produced since our first qualification to the finals in 1984 in France. It was here, Allan Simonsen, incidentally, destroyed his career with a broken tibia in the first battle, and where Denmark reached the semifinals with a convincing game.
Dodo & The Dodos song from the 1998 expresses fine, my relationship and my wishes for the national team. As you know, must all have an opinion on the ‘our team’. Here must all be mandagstrænere.
I want to first and foremost, that our national team qualifies, then they win and then play well. I would like to have it all, but when the world is not so good, I will have that the national team qualifies for the big finals.
I’m sufficiently old that I can remember, that it certainly was not natural. Even though we had the best team in Europe in the’80s, it was still difficult to qualify, because we were not used to it. We were good to play well and beat the big nations – in træningskampene.
The modified Allan Simonsen at the 21. september 1983 with a safe penalty kick at Wembley. Unforgettable.
on Monday evening which qualified Denmark for the european championships in 2020 on the yndlingsudebanen the Aviva Stadium in Dublin after a messy battle with an exciting final stage.
There is good reason to be euphoric and in the seventh heaven, for the finals must, among other things played in the Park, where Denmark will get home.
Anyway, there is slightly a fly in the ointment, can be read on many social media and sportssider. It is clear that we are not qualified us on the ‘right’ way. The game flowed not in small triangles, replaced by fast-twitch in the depth with subsequent hundredprocentschancer.
How was it not yesterday or in many of the previous matches, but the team struggled Grandbetting with. Denmark is a small country, who believe that we are a large country and therefore must play football in a certain beautiful way.
How is it not in Norway.
They know that they are a small fodboldland, and I can assure you that they had gone national crazy over a qualification such as our. They would probably still be in time to celebrate it.
Perhaps it is therefore that we do not understand the Norwegian, Danish national coach. Åge Hareide got us qualified with a customize the cynical approach that it is more important to qualify than to play nice. As you can understand from the previous, I am totally on Åge Hareides page in this case.
He is the decisive factor, that has led us to the Park. He has done it with equal parts cynicism and self-confidence.
It’s also probably why he can’t get over DBU’s firing and using every opportunity to complain, at the latest, at the subsequent press conference after the match against Ireland. This is understandable enough, for which the other country would fire a coach for a team that has qualified two times in a row.
Åge Hareide can get a great reputation in Denmark, but it requires that he stops now, keep your mouth shut about the timing of the firing and concentrating on the game and the players. We, and not least DBU owe him more respect because he has shown us how to qualify small football team to the largest: all-star squad. With calculated cynicism.
We must not return to play beautiful football in træningskampene as to lose the qualification.
Heja, Åge!
