Christian Eriksen, a midfielder for Denmark, claims that his team’s World Cup goals have increased as a result of the boost they received from their run to the European Championship semifinals last year.
Denmark now has higher goals for the World Cup, according to Christian Eriksen
The squad overcame losing Eriksen to a heart attack in their Euro 2020 opener against Finland to get out of their group and all the way to the semifinals, where they lost to England at Wembley by a razor-thin margin. Eriksen remarked in an interview with Norwegian radio NRK, “When we were in the finals last time, there was a clear ambition to go through the group stage and carry it from there.
“That’s something we ought to accomplish right now. From the group, we will advance, and we will achieve our goals. Although we still need some good fortune and games, reaching the World Cup semifinals in the European Championship widened our World Cup objectives. Denmark’s desire to practise at the World Cup with jerseys that read “human rights for everyone” was denied by FIFA, according to the Danish Football Association (DBU), which made the announcement on Thursday.
Many competing teams have expressed worries about Qatar due to the country’s handling of foreign employees and its harsh social restrictions. The nation has refuted accusations of labour exploitation.
Eriksen said, “It was a FIFA decision, and they acknowledged it was inaccurate that the World Cup was held in Qatar; that’s where the error came. But we athletes will never be politicians, despite what some may say. We are soccer players who compete for FIFA-affiliated national teams, and FIFA has chosen to play in Qatar. Where are the boundaries, and what are the potential outcomes? Eriksen enquired.
We are present and engage in politics as much as we can as soccer players. However, there isn’t much we can do; all we want to do is play soccer. Denmark’s World Cup campaign begins on November 22 against Tunisia, followed by matches against France on November 25 and Australia on November 30.
