A nordic showdown and the two bang against two of the world's best teams. It can be a quite enjoyable autumn and something of a baptism of fire for Kasper Hjulmand, who takes over the national team after this summer's european championship finals. Where Belgium also becomes one of the opponents.
But let us forget about EM for a while and instead focus on the Nation's League. We give the word to Peter Møller:
- It will be extremely exciting matches. It gets really good. But it is almost just much, who we had drawn. It could only go and be really big. And it was so.
- It is a difficult pool, but there are also prospects. We come up against two of the biggest teams and at the same time, a nordic showdown.
- you Will denote it as a huge gift to English football?
- Yes, it is exactly the right word. All must lick on the mouth. Fans, players and, of course, also DBU. We are allowed to bite spoons with the really big teams in the world. Belgium is staggering, and in England we also know what awaits us. It's cool for all who are involved in it here, says Peter Møller.
