Manager Hjulmand says fear of losing ‘very much involved’
Danes have one point from two World Cup group matches

Kasper Hjulmand leaned into the microphone, arms folded on the press conference table in front of him, impassive, borderline serene. Then, softly and with little intonation, he explained that emotions in the Denmark camp are running “very, very high”.

“It is a World Cup,” he continued. “With football you can multiply your feelings by 10, and the fear of losing is very, very much involved. How can we best handle that? These considerations you have to make.”
