Euro 2024: Why England should fear Rasmus Hojlund and Denmark

Denmark are about more than just Hojlund though.

Christian Eriksen, referred to as “the father” by club team-mate Hojlund, stole headlines on Sunday as he marked his return to the Euros, three years after suffering a cardiac arrest during a game against Finland, with Denmark’s opening goal of the tournament.

He put in a man-of-the-match performance, pulling the strings in midfield during a dominant first half, before Slovenia were able to claw their way back into the game.

And despite the match ending in a draw, Frank believes Denmark showed they have enough quality to trouble England.

“It’s clear we should have won that game but with a point we can still decide [progression] ourselves,” said Frank.

“I’m convinced that Denmark will fancy their chances against England despite them being one of the massive favourites to win the tournament.

“This is football and anything can happen.”

Hojlund and Eriksen are the star names, while Sporting midfielder Morten Hjulmand has been linked with numerous clubs.

But who is not spoken about enough for Denmark?

There is one man who Frank thinks could be key in stopping “the best offensive players in the tournament” from England.

“[Barcelona defender] Andreas Christensen. On his day, he is one of the best centre-backs in the world,” added Frank.

“His way of anticipating situations, his technique, his composure, he is quite unique.”
