DUBLIN (Ekstra Bladet): Denmark for the european championships for the eighth time.
It was a fact after a draw 1-1 against Ireland in Dublin.
Simon Kjær and Mathias Zanka Jørgensen was strongest in the image of the danes, where Kasper Dolberg and Andreas Cornelius flopped.
He was tested during the warm-up, where he several times took himself to the rear of thigh. He was injured after half an hour and had to be deleted.
Thomas Delaney got an injury and had to withdraw after ten minutes of play, as he writhed around on one foot.
It was hard to last to the danes, who stood in the distance.
How they played the Danish EM-heroes:
Grades: Ireland – Denmark (the Grades go from 1-6)
Good 4 Kasper Schmeichel Goalkeeper
The strong keeper had to retrieve the ball out of the goal for the first time in six matches. Stand a chance at compensation. Solid and safe performance.
Anders Kjærbye
Good 4 Henrik Dalsgaard Right back
Served a great pass with venstrebenet, as Braithwaite scored. Had the great benefit of his physical strength. Very solid in defensive.
Anders Kjærbye
the Super 5 Simon Kjær Midterforsvar
the Captain steered his rear troops with great assurance and authority. He won many duels and played with tremendous calm on the ball.
Anders Kjærbye
the Super 5 Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jørgensen Midterforsvar
Fell brilliantly into the role by the side of Kjaer. Careful in defensive and safe in play. A very strong performance.
Anders Kjærbye
worth the Money 3 Jens Skims Larsen at Left-back
Made no major errors and delivered a solid defensive effort, where he was placed sensibly. Contributed not so much on the offensive.
Anders Kjærbye
Just passed 2 Lasse Schöne Central midfield
Had it difficult in the face of the physically strong people. Came several times on the pastern and created too little in the offensive. Got the warning.
Anders Kjærbye
Outside of the rating UB Thomas Delaney Central midfield
Had to be deleted already after ten minutes of play, as he writhed around on foot in a close combat. Was replaced by Pierre-Emile Højbjerg.
Anders Kjærbye
Just passed 2 Christian Eriksen Central midfield
Pale and very anonymous. There was otherwise good space and run-up a few chances. But offensively, it was just not his night.
Anders Kjærbye
Good 4 Martin Braithwaite Winger
The scoring with the long toe. Had it hard at times, but will never forget the hero after Dalsgaard sublime pass.
Anders Kjærbye
Just passed 2 Yussuf Poulsen Winger
Matchvinderen from Switzerland was anonymous and without the gennembrudskraft. A very tame offensive performance. But fighterhjertet was great.
Anders Kjærbye
Low 1 Andreas Cornelius Attacker
looking for a half an hour with an injury. Was under observation during warm-up from sundhedskorpset. Rejected after the fight, that it was a baglårsskade.
Anders Kjærbye
the Super 5 Åge Hareide Coach
34 matches without defeat and the other finals, out of two possible. What a triumph for the Norwegian. He has created a sublime culture.
Anders Kjærbye
Good 4 Pierre Emile Højbjerg Central midfield
Came in after ten minutes of play and took a major responsibility of the central. A few skøndhedsfejl does not remove the impression of a strong performance.
Anders Kjærbye
Low 1 Kasper Dolberg Attacker
Replaced Cornelius after a half an hour and never got put his stamp on the fight. Sled in dueling and got nothing out of it opposite the heavy stoppere.
Anders Kjærbye
Outside of the rating UB Andreas Christensen Midterforsvar
Came in to the finish.
