“We face an incredible challenge”

A point against Denmark tonight is enough for the Devils to qualify for the European Championship, but the national coach is hoping for more.

Despite star players like Charles De Ketelaere, Yari Verschaeren and Arthur Theate joining the Red Devils, beating Denmark should be possible. “We are going to get the three points,” said coach Mathijssen in a press conference. “We want to start the game well and create chances immediately. We are the only team that still has the maximum points. It’s too good to pass up. So all the attention is on the game against the Denmark. We look no further.”

There will be no question of underestimating. Despite the difference of nine points between the two teams, it must also be said that Denmark played two games less. “We are facing an incredible challenge. The conditions will be difficult in Denmark. We are not playing against Janneke and Mieke. My players have to show that they can win without throwing their principles overboard. We want to make a result without giving up to our style of attacking football.”
