Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand is hoping his nation's long love affair with Dutch football in general and Ajax Amsterdam in particular will stand to them when they take on Wales in their Euro 2020 last 16 game on Saturday.
The two sides meet at the Johan Cruyff Arena where many Danes have represented Ajax over the years, including playmaker Christian Eriksen, who is recovering following a cardiac arrest against Finland in Denmark's opening game."If any club outside the borders has meant anything to Danish football, this is it. There is a very big connection between Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Denmark," Hjulmand told a news conference.
The Danes beat Wales twice in the UEFA Nations League in 2028, but Hjulmand said that those results will count for nothing when the two sides meet again.
