On June 21, Beijing time, Denmark and England shook hands with 1-1 after a fierce Europa League group match. After the match, Denmark player Eriksen shared his feelings about the match.
Eriksen admitted that the Danes had expected to win the game despite their improved performance on the field compared to the previous game. "We felt we played better and should have had a chance to win but it didn't turn out the way we wanted." He said.
Talking about England, Eriksen said the Danes were not surprised by the strength of their opponents. "We were aware that England have great players, but we also managed to use our chances to cause them a lot of trouble."
He singled out the Danish goal, hailing it as a "perfect shot" that reinvigorated the team. However, Eriksen also regretted that the Danes were unable to take advantage of the situation to increase their lead.
Speaking about the game's strategy, Eriksen pointed out that England made a couple of mistakes in possession, while Denmark tried to create chances through quick counter-attacks. "We didn't feel that England became conservative in the game, in fact, the game was very close and balanced even before they scored."
Although the result was only a draw, Eriksen recognized the performance of the Danish team and said that the team will continue to work hard to achieve better results in the upcoming matches.
