The Euro 2024 quarter-finals are about to usher in a big match: Germany vs. Denmark. It will be held on June 30 at 3 a.m. in Germany, and will attract the attention of fans. Although Germany has a clear advantage as the host, it may not be easy to beat Denmark by a big score.
As the host of this European Championship, the German team is undoubtedly under great pressure and expectations. They had a mixed run in the group stage, with a 2-0 win over Hungary showing their strength, but a 1-1 draw with Switzerland exposed some problems. Germany's midfield and dribbling in midfield have been somewhat restricted, which could be key for Denmark in their search for a breakthrough.
Although Denmark are not as likely to qualify as Germany, they are by no means an opponent to be easily underestimated. In 1992, Denmark created a legend by beating Germany 2-0 in the European Championship final. The Danes are still very strong and will likely adopt a deep defensive strategy to limit the German attack by compressing space.
The key to the game may be the tactical arrangement of the German team. Whether Phil Krueger starts or not will be a topic of intense concern. His high point advantage could be a weapon to break down the Danish defence. Wirtz's change in position is also worth watching, as if he can drop back to assist Kroos in organising the attack, it could give Germany more attacking options.
For Denmark, the performances of Hojlen and Eriksen will have a direct impact on the outcome of the game. Not only will they need to make aggressive interceptions up front and harass the playmaking heart of the German team, but they will also need to create scoring opportunities for the team in the limited number of chances. Denmark's counter-attacking and long-range shooting capabilities should not be underestimated, which could be a powerful weapon for them to shake up the German defence.
Judging from the historical head-to-head meetings, in the past 10 meetings, Germany has won 4, drawn 3 and lost 3, and the two sides are evenly matched. It's worth noting that it's rare for a big score to go between the two teams, which confirms that this game could be a close one.
While Germany had home advantage as hosts, Denmark's tenacity could not be overlooked. The Germans will need to be wary of counter-attacks and be wary of possible surprises. After all, anything can happen in football.
This match is likely to be a tense matchup. Although the German team has the advantage, it may not be easy to beat Denmark by a big score. Regardless of the outcome, this match will make for a great football feast for the spectators.
As the game approached, players from both teams were actively preparing for the game. Germany head coach Flick said: "We respect every opponent, but we are confident of winning at home. Denmark coach Yelmann emphasised: "We are not here to participate, but to compete. We have the power to do wonders. ”
This match will not only affect the fate of both teams, but will also affect the course of the entire European Championship. Whether it is Germany or Denmark, whoever can come out on top in this crucial battle will win themselves more opportunities and confidence. Let's wait and see who can have the last laugh in this fierce contest.
