– In football things go very strong. There is constantly a new battle. I have not bestowed upon it the defeat of a thought. Monday is a new battle against Denmark.

And then we found some weaknesses with them, says the newly appointed Ireland captain.
It may well be that Ireland has many fighters, but Denmark Christian Eriksen, who did evil in Ireland two years ago. He scored three goals in the 5-1 victory.
– Christian Eriksen is a special player. It is the commune’s task to stop him. But Denmark also has players like Poulsen, Cornelius and Braithwaite, as we have to keep an eye on, admits Mick McCarthy.
Denmark has many klassespillere. But we have a way to stop them. It is no use to only focus on Eriksen, complements the 35-year-old midfielder Glenn Whelan.
