Denmark draws strength from Eriksen shock - UEFA sends a signal and invites you to Wembley
The Danes even want to draw strength from the Eriksen drama for the duel with the favored Englishmen.
"The second when time stood still and we were very vulnerable, when we saw how fragile life is - that could help us to be in the now and enjoy it," said the former coach of FSV Mainz 05 Kasper Hjulmand.
"The love of the Danish people helped us."
"We as a nation experienced something very shocking," said goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
“And that definitely brought the country closer together.
The support we've seen at home is unlike anything I've ever seen in my career and life.
And that may never happen again.
But it shows what football makes possible. "
Perhaps an additional motivation: on Tuesday, UEFA confirmed that it had invited Eriksen and his wife to the final on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.
