Denmark tries to find the right combination to score goals

Denmark finally managed to score a World Cup goal in Qatar despite a 2-1 defeat by France on Saturday, but coach Kasper Hjulmand is still looking for the right combination to unlock his side’s scoring prowess, which he will serve in the final Group D match against Australia.

France became the first team to secure a place in the round of 16 in Qatar following victory at the 974 Stadium, but the Danes still have a lot of work to do as they need a win against Australia on Wednesday to stand any chance of qualifying . On.

This will require goals and the Danes have struggled to score.

“You can’t expect to press a button and expect to score that many goals,” said Hjulmand, whose side have scored just once in two games this week. “We have many good strikers and we were very close today.”

“I really like what we have and… we have many goalscorers in this team,” he said.

“Throughout 2021, we had 18 different international goalscorers, which shows that our goals come from many different players.”

“In the qualifying matches for the World Cup, we had eight wins and 29 goals, so we have great strikers with great players on the pitch who can score,” he said.

After a poor attacking performance in a goalless draw with Tunisia, Hjulmand shifted his attack to the duel with France. He brought in Andreas Cornelius for Kasper Dolberg and Jesper Lindstrom for Andreas Skov Olsen, but the changes had little effect as the Danes failed to score on target in the first half.

Looking for a spark up front, Hjulmand again decided to shake things up, bringing on Martin Braithwaite for Cornelius from the start of the second half and then replacing attacking midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard with Sevilla striker Kasper Dolberg.

Despite the changes, the only goal for the Danes came from defender Andreas Christensen, who slipped past the French defense to head in to make it 1-1 in the 23rd minute.

Hjulmand is confident the goals will arrive in time to overtake Australia.

“Right now we are very disappointed but we will take it back and get back on track for Wednesday’s game,” he said. “It is clear that we have to win the last game and that’s what we are ready to do.”

“It’s all or nothing. We have to win,” he summed up.
