HERNING, denmark (Ekstra Bladet): Since the DBU selected Åge Hareide from and presented Kasper Hjulmand as coach in June, the Norwegian also had to explain himself to the people he meets on his way.
– I got several responses. But they go on, if I’ve done something wrong, since I have to stop. I have not, but I must explain myself. And it is perhaps the only thing that annoys me. For those who know me know that I haven’t done anything wrong. I’m just the type that will win at any cost, explains Åge Hareide.
It is not only Åge Hareide, who has been the reactions of the last months.
In the Politiken newspaper on Sunday said Peter Schmeichel, he is everywhere in football-Europe got the reactions of a great wonder, that Åge Hareide must stop as the Danish national coach, when the team now have played for so long without losing.
– I appreciate that Peter can like the job I have done for Denmark, says Åge Hareide.
He is in time with the last seven and a half month as the Danish national coach is thinking and not so much on its reputation as a Danish national coach.
He can just as Bo Johansson qualify Denmark for two out of the two possible finals, if the task in Dublin to be resolved on Monday.
– We plan to win against Ireland and come directly to the EM. My ambition is to deliver Denmark in as good a position as possible.
– If it doesn’t go now, we must focus on the Nations League matches for march. Should we not get to the EM, it is a major disaster for Denmark than for me, explains the national coach.
He total Monday his squad in Herning, where a new hybridbane for a total price of eur 12.4 million. kr. was inaugurated. It is a path that all Translation team has the opportunity to train on when preparing for matches.

Hareide is met to a scenario in which five of his main players come from a weekend without playing.
Simon Kjær, Andreas Christensen, Christian Eriksen and Thomas Delaney warmed the bench while Pierre-Emile Højbjerg was completely out of the squad, because there was a suspicion of a concussion. But on Monday he has again been given the green light from doctors to train and play matches.
– I do not see it as a problem that they did not get playing time in the weekend. They have come home rested and the advantage is that they know each other really well. It would be a much bigger problem, if they were new and had not played together before, he points out.
Åge Hareide is planning to shuffle the cards well and truly up to the two crucial matches against Gibraltar and Ireland.
– We are going to swap around a lot in the two matches. We must win against Gibraltar, but we must give priority to the fight against Ireland. It’s all about, that we should have fresh legs for the decisive battle in Dublin, says Åge Hareide.
It can mean that formstærke Andreas Cornelius will be saved for the match in Dublin, while there may be playing from the start against Gibraltar to either Kasper Dolberg or Christian Gytkjær, just as formstærke players like Robert Woods and Daniel Wass looks like the sure starters on Friday in the Park.
– When it comes to central defence, we must see how Andreas Christensen looks like after an injury break and a walk on the bench in the past. But we are well covered. We have also Zanka and know what we get with him, points out Åge Hareide.
