This was "an opportunity", emphasized the Danish national coach before the quarter-finals, "which we may never get again".

It is the hour of the underdogs, because even before the game on Saturday (6 p.m. / ARD and MagentaTV) in Baku it is certain that one of the two surprise teams will fight for the finals on Wednesday in London.

In Denmark in particular, people are hoping for the next high point in this emotional journey that began so dramatically with the breakdown of Christian Eriksen.

EM 2021: Czech Republic - Denmark in the live ticker - "Christian Eriksen is missing every day"

“It's a big roller coaster,” said former Bayern professional Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg, referring to the course of the tournament.

But the nerve-wracking fight that evening three weeks ago apparently welded the Danish team together - and has long served as a motivation.

Eriksen's place at the table is “still there and he is missing every day”, Höjbjerg assured: “We'll do it for him.

He knows that. "

Not only the drama about Eriksen and the solidarity from all over the world inspire Denmark these days.

There are also memories of the European Championship in 1992, when Danish Dynamite unexpectedly stormed to the title in the final in Gothenburg against Germany (2-0).

“We all stand together.

All for one, one for all, these values ​​haven't changed much since 1992, ”said Höjbjerg.

But the Danish team has "still a way to go" before they reach their goal.

The second dream is to bring joy to people and to inspire them. ”Yussuf Poulsen from Leipzig, who was last slowed down by an injury to his gluteal muscle, is back again.

Schick could intervene as spoilsport this time, who plays big at this European Championship.

The Leverkusen player is the only remaining striker in the tournament with four or more goals - the hunt for Cristiano Ronaldo (5 goals) is on.

“Of course we would like him to win the Golden Shoe.

We'll do our best to help him, ”said team-mate Petr Sevcik.
