DORTMUND, Germany : Denmark drew their opening three games at Euro 2024 to set up a last-16 tie with hosts Germany, and should that game on Saturday also end in a stalemate, they are well-prepared for the ensuing penalty shoot-out.

"It differs from player to player, but for me it is better to have made a decision in advance, there are also others who prefer to decide at the last moment," Wind, who plays his club football in Germany for VfL Wolfsburg, told reporters. For months, coach Hjulmand has been asking his players to prepare themselves for what could be one of the high-pressure moments of their careers, and it doesn't get much higher than a penalty against the hosts in a shoot-out at a major international tournament.

"You can feel that the heart beats an extra time before a penalty kick. I think everyone feels some kind of pressure, so it's about dealing with it in the best possible way, finding calmness and kicking the ball in the net," he added.
