Danes prove deserving champions
DOTHKNBURG.
Sweden. June 27: Denmark thorou ghly deserved to 'be European champions after
beating Germany 2-0 in the final here on Friday night — despite having had barely a week to prepare for the tournament, reports AFP
That was the considered verdict of the German camp — and partieulariy coach Berti Vogts
After seeing John Jensen and Kim Vtlfort score the goals which sank the World Cup holders and sent the 20.000 Danes in the crowd wild with delight, Vogts said: "Congratulations to them, they played some great football, they deserved to win and they are worthy European chafnpi ons."
The goals were both the result of mistakes, and to say I am dissatisfied with my side goes without saying.'
Vogts refused to single out anyone for special blame, but captain Andreas Brehme. normally so reHable, was plainly at fault for the first goal.
Brehme tost the ball wide out on the German left and Flemming Povlsen pounced, charging In towards the area and laying It back for the in rushing John Jensen who _ crashed.lt past Bodo lllgqflp from Just Inside the box alter 18 minutes.
Kim Vtlfort scored the second 12 minutes from the end, a low shot from the edge of the area which went in off the post past Bodo lllgncr.
Vogts said: "We never really got Into our rhythm and they did well to keep Thomas Hassler under control."
He added: "Having said that, goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel and their sweeper Lars Olsen were major assets to the team."
Brehme himself also offered his congratulations and commented: They deserved to win, although for the first 20 wc played some really good football, but then came that somewhat fortunate goal which made it 1-0 and once they were leading. It became very difficult for us to equalise."
"Schmeichel made some really great saves and he is one of the major features of the team"
And he hinted that like the , Dutch before them, the Germans’ downfall was fh underestimating the combative Danes. "It was an easy task on paper." he said. "But when we got out there we realised It was by no means an easy matter."
Schmeichel. who make a
number ol Important save*, particularly tipping over a fly Ing header from Juergen Klinsmann Ju*t before the breathing space of the second go^. played down hi* part in the proceedings
"We've won the European Championship, and It hasn't
really aunk in yet. We don t quite understand what it means."
"We knew when we started the game that it would be the most difficult we’d ever played They are very experienced in finals of major tournaments and we knew that they were Kng to come al us from the
it whistle."
"We would have liked lo
have played a httk more In the German half of the field, but it was extremely hard as wc were very tired and they are a great team who kept the pressure
He added. "Schemichei ■bowed he is one of the best goalkeeper* in the world, and
Kim Chri*tofle was clever In keeping Hassler under control, while I put in John Siveback for an hoqr. He gave us every thing, all his experience and that was Important.
Brian Laudrup, the major figure tn the side throughout their matches, admitted he phoned Bayern Munich col league and his great friend, Stefan Effenbcrg, on Thursday
night T told him wed be European champion* tonight, and that was what happened." he said
“I can’t describe my feel Ings I think It ■ Incredible that we can win wtih only eight day*' preparation for the championships."
"We've been playing some very good football throughout the tournament and of course wc got that littk- bil of luck to day but we had already played very well against Holland.'
"I think you can say youve got the right European champions.
