The Danes surly have their work cut out for them; they
are drawn in group B with Germany, Portegual and world cup finalist Netherlands.
Upcoming player christen Erikson will be on his toes as he knows Manchester united
and arsenal who both have been linked with the player will be watching. The Danes
have managed three victories in their last five games, losing the Russia and Brazil
consecutively. No real injury headache for the manger except Midfielder Zimling who was
put on a stretcher at the end of the Danish teams training.
In a post match interview Danish coach Martin
Olsen, commented: "Everything has already been said and written. We can
say we are a little jealous of the Dutch team that we are not in their shoes,
because they are the favorites. There is no doubt about that.
"They are a good team in all positions, and on the
bench as well, they are filled with great quality."But while he was happy
to cede the favorites tag to his rivals, Olsen promised no lack of fight on the
pitch."The Dutch have become better since the last time we met but so have
we. The Dutch are a team who will say if they do not win this title it will be
an enormous disappointment, but I do not think we can say that. I think we will
say if we can get through this group we will have won."We are playing
against a better team.
The orange were the highest scoring side during the
qualifiers managing an extraordinary feat of 37 goals In 10 games. With Shalke
forward klass Jan Huntelaar finishing top scorer with 12 goals. That doesn’t
get him a starting role as Robin Van persi‘s season with arsenal cemented his
place in the Dutch national team. With players like Robben and Wesley Snijder
feeding him passes, he is most likely to get on the score sheets multiple times
during the tournament. Having won 3 games out of the 5 played the Dutch are
heavily favored to win the competition.
Coach Bert Van Marwijk
will be without the services of left back Joris Mathjisen as he recovering from a hamstring injury ,18 year old
jetro williems is likey to start, as his introduction will make him the
youngest ever player tp play in the competions history .
Starting line ups
the Danes will look to shut out Robben on the wing,as Agger and Simon Kajer will look to keep van Persi quiet during the game. creative force will try to avoid those nasty De jong Tackles in the midfield ,as he will look to find The ghostly Bendtner in Hollands 18yard box. Look out for Daniels Agger trying a few long shots ,as his got a thunderous left foot.
with dirk Kuyt benched iIbrahim Afelay will have to work extra hard to provide cover for the young left back williems and put in the right crosses for van Persi to hit. Wesley Snijder did not have a good season with Inter Milan this year, still his vision , and creativity are he drive behind the dutch teams current form , the dutch will look to give him the ball as often as they can , Holland play a crisp passing game and will utilize their pace on the wings to neutralizer their opponents . looking out for Afelay trying a few fancy dribbles on the wing before a crisp cross into the 18 yard box .
Final Verdict
Netherlands Denmark
