The Danish national team is urging calm after a 0-0 draw against Scotland in their World Cup qualification match. The players acknowledge their hope for a victory at Parken, but emphasize that a draw against a direct competitor is not a disaster.

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel suggests that the single point gained could ultimately be decisive in the qualification process.

Defender Joachim Andersen expressed regret over the shared points but highlighted the potential for a favorable position if Denmark secures a win against Greece on Monday. He stressed the importance of aiming for a win in Greece to improve their standing in the group.

Mikkel Damsgaard dismisses the notion of increased pressure before the crucial away match, maintaining the team’s ambition to win the group and suggesting they might excel in away games.

National coach Brian Riemer stated that the draw against Scotland does not alter his approach to the upcoming match. He acknowledges the need for positive results in away games to compensate for the lost points at home.

The qualifying group includes Denmark, Scotland, Greece, and Belarus. Only the group winner automatically qualifies for the World Cup, while the runner-up enters a playoff. Currently, Greece leads the group following a 5-1 victory over Belarus.

The national team is scheduled to train in Denmark on Saturday and Sunday before traveling to Greece on Sunday afternoon.
