If the talented Danish U21 national team in football to have success at this summer’s european championship finals in Italy, the team is depending on to stamspillerne comes to the finals in good form.
gruppemodstanderen Germany and potentially other major nations such as Spain and France matches, pigeons it is not that the danes meet up with splinters in your buttocks.
There are banks in the Danish squad for the narrow compared with the foreign mastodonters free-for-all of the talented players.
U21-coach Niels Frederiksen’s biggest hope for the spring is, therefore, that players like Mathias Jensen (Celta Vigo), Marcus Ingvartsen (Genk), Rasmus Nissen (Ajax) and Jacob Rasmussen (Empoli) swap the bench out by the track, while Dynamo kyiv’s Mikkel Duelund need to recover from a broken ankle.
– We have a big challenge in that some of our best players, which has been on the team for several years, for various reasons not play so much in their clubs. And when they do not, then do you not take the necessary steps in their development, says Niels Frederiksen.
– If we are to have a chance to match the best, so we must play with our best, and they need to be in shape, says Niels Frederiksen.
If the bænkede profiles have view for more playing time in the spring, they should consider a rental, or a permanent change of clubs when the transfer window opens in January, he believes.
Alternatively, they may set themselves to too much time as a reserve in the spring can also lead to a bænkplads during the U21-EM.
Suddenly we have a Andreas Skov Olsen in FC Nordsjælland, and he roars away. He plays 90 minutes every weekend, and he’s getting better and better.
– It is the same with Jacob Bruun Larsen, who play relatively much for Dortmund. It is clear that there are players who could be overtaken by some players, who play more, says Niels Frederiksen.
– They do not need to play 90 minutes each time to get in top shape, but they must like to play 70 minutes one week, 20 minutes the next and then 60 minutes the week after. Continuous duration is the key, he adds.
Although several of his favorite players warming the bench, they can almost know to make an EM-space. The prep time is for the button to change half a team out.
10. January dragons a U21-national team consisting of players from the top League, 1. division and Newcastle-talented Elias Sørensen at the training camp in Mexico.
The training camp sees the national coach more as an opportunity to see the next generation of U21-players, than he sees it as an EM-training camp.
It is only in the course of a week and a half in march, to all team players when it is to be together, before the EM-the squad must be taken.
– As a coach, you learn to be knivhamrende sharp on what you want, and be very persistent, because you can not reach it all.
– Therefore we come not to revolutionize anything or use a lot of new players before the european championship. We have worked with the players in a year and a half, and therefore, we must use the spring to get better at the things we are already good at, says Niels Frederiksen.
He is not in doubt that the danes have the talent to deliver a top result at the european championships, if they go through a skadesfrit spring with playing time.
– We have several players who daily play the game on a higher shelf than we had with the old team two years ago.
– It bodes well, and our objective is that we must play to progress to the semi-finals, he says.
Denmark is in group with Germany, Austria and Serbia. Only gruppevinderen is guaranteed a place in the semi-final.
