Why Denmark will fight to the finish on Wednesday!

Hello, If you think the semifinal clash Wednesday between England and Denmark will be a tea party, you had better think twice because it will not .  In fact it promises to be a fight to the finish considering the magnitude and quality of send-off given the Danes on their way to the showdown.

Great send-off for the Danes

Denmark were given a hero’s send-off as they left their Helsingor training base before making their way to London for their Euro 2020 semi-final clash with England.

Hundreds of fans lined the street outside the hotel where the team had been staying as they cheered manager Kasper Hjulmand from his balcony.

The crowd below waited in anticipation before getting a closer look at their heroes before the players and coaching staff made their way onto the team coach.

Massive support from Danes to the team

Danish flags were being waved while a number of young girls playing the flute serenaded Kasper Schmeichel and Co moments before they departed.

While the send-off they received back home will certainly be uplifting, the Denmark players will be happy to know that they will have almost 8,000 supporters in their corner for Wednesday’s last four showdown.

The Danish FA were initially given around 6,500 tickets to sell to UK-based supporters.

And to the surprise of many, all of those were quickly snapped up.

Another 1,400 have been asked for, which means that the players can rely on staggering levels of support in an expected 60,000 reduced-capacity crowd.

The number will dwarf the 1,500 figure sold to UK-based Germany supporters for England’s last match under the arch.

Gareth Southgate’s side received almost total backing from the vast majority of the 40,000 present at the last-16 clash which they won, 2-0.

The England squad has signed a No 10 jersey emblazoned with Eriksen’s name that will be handed to Denmark captain Simon Kjaer by England counterpart Harry Kane.

Perhaps what is most remarkable is that while Eriksen recovers from his cardiac arrest, Denmark has managed to reach the semifinals for the first time since unexpectedly winning the European Championship in 1992.

There is no other way to capture it, this certainly will be war as the Danes will be fighting to the finish for the teeming country men and women who lined up the street to say “Go guys,do the needful and come back to us”
