The match between France and Denmark has already started, just hours after the draw for the next World Cup in Doha.
The Blues, who will be opposed, in addition to Tunisia and the winner of one of the last qualifying play-offs, to the players Kasper Hjulmand, have been warned by the latter.
"France is one of the big favourites, with so much talent, and it's the defending champion," he said when interviewed by beIN Sports.
So he's clearly one of the toughest opponents.
We are preparing for the teams we are going to face.
But I advise you to also prepare because we have a very good team and we will be ready to fight.

The coach of the semi-finalists of the last Euro spoke of "a difficult draw" for his team, which fell with France, Tunisia and a play-off to be determined (Australia or United Arab Emirates or Peru).
“We already have two matches to manage in the League of Nations against them so it will be three times in five months”, specified Hjulmand, in reference to the double confrontation already planned against Didier Deschamps and his men in the League of Nations, in June and in September.
The duel between the two European representatives of Group D is scheduled for Saturday November 26 at 5 p.m.
It could be the one who will decide the fate of everyone for the rest of the competition.
"It's good to face France," reacted Danish captain Simon Kjaer, quoted in a press release from his federation.
"It's a big opponent against whom we drew (0-0) at the last World Cup and whom we will meet twice in the League of Nations before the World Cup".
