Denmark has achieved a historic milestone by advancing to the World Championship semi-finals for the first time ever, following a stunning 2-1 victory over Canada. The win has left veteran players like Jesper Jensen Aabo and Morten Poulsen struggling to find words to describe the magnitude of the accomplishment.

The team captain, Jesper Jensen Aabo, expressed disbelief and excitement stating he had dreamed of such a victory, but never truly believed it would become a reality. The unexpected triumph has prompted a change of plans for the team, who will now travel to Stockholm to face Switzerland in the semi-final.

Morten Poulsen, visibly emotional, admitted to being nearly speechless, emphasizing that reaching the world’s top four nations exceeds all expectations. He acknowledged the closeness of the game against Canada and highlighted the significance of the victory for many players on the team.

Aabo shared a personal anecdote about his family’s expectations of his return home, which have now been postponed due to the team’s extended stay in the tournament. He described the experience as being surreal and expressed a desire to continue the dream run.
