Although the national team regrets not finishing first in the Nations League, they are happy to have had a really good last test before the World Cup.

In 2018, France and Croatia met in the final of the FIFA World Cup.

Since then, the players of the two football centers have run many meters on the grass and this year they were part of the Danish national team in the Nations League. Here Croatia took first place, and the Danish national team took second place, ahead of the French.

This is due, among other things, to the fact that the Danish national football team played two rounds with France in the pool. Two matches and two victories were won, and although it is impressive when the opponent is the current world champion, the national team regrets that they did not win the pool.

Because against Croatia, it turned into two nerd teams and they turned out to be decisive for the final place, laments national coach Kasper Juhlmand.

- It is a shame to look back on two very even matches with Croatia. One draw and we would have taken it. It is very annoying, he says.

The national team player Kasper Schmeichel agrees.

First place was within reach and it is bitter to lose it without getting the scoop against Croatia.

- We have a very sad feeling. It (first place) was the goal. In general, we are very sorry about it, - says Kasper Schmeichel.

Playing for second place in the group, where rivals are France and Croatia, the national team player Joakim Mele "thought in advance". You could watch it in livescore dk.

And his coach also believes that the efforts in the group stage as a whole have been more than approved.

"There are many teams that suffer a bit from the quality of their game in this period and I think we were good and finished very well," says Kasper Hjulmand.

In search of something big

The fact that the national team finished successfully, beating France 2-0, is also worth noting, says national team player Joakim Mele.

Because of this, the national team showed that it is well equipped when it goes to Qatar in a few months to take part in the World Cup.

- We were cool and patient (against France)," says Joakim Mele.

- The World Cup is something else, but undoubtedly we will take with us the confidence from the two games. It is no coincidence that we play so well and beat them twice in a row. It gives us confidence.

The game against France was the last for the national team before the start of the World Cup in late November.

With good results in the League of Nations, Joakim Mele believes that Denmark will be able to deliver results and play the same good football at the championship in Qatar.

- We have a huge potential in the squad. "This is the coolest team I have ever been part of and it is definitely something we can build on," he says.

Now it's about waiting for the World Cup.

And there the national team dreams to gather red and white fans on the rafters and in the living room to cheer, - says Andreas Skov Olsen.

- We have some dreams. We are all chasing something big, that's what we dream about. I think we are on a good way and we have the potential to develop even more and become even better. I think we are at a high level," Andreas Skov Olsen says.

The World Cup starts on November 20, and two days later the national team plays its first match at the championship.
