Nobody understood that the Denmark-Finland match was resumed after the shock that had been suffered by the collapse of Christian Eriksen. The footballers of both teams were shocked by everything they experienced on the pitch and it was strange to the football world that the game ended on at least the same day.
And in the face of this situation, Kasper Hjulmand , Denmark coach, who has not hesitated when charging against UEFA, has exploded. “Due to Covid-19 a match can be delayed, but due to cardiac arrest, no,” he declared, referring to the fact that the regulation provides that a meeting can be postponed for two days after a coronavirus outbreak.
“It is totally wrong if someone believes that we said we wanted to continue playing. It is indisputable that we had to choose between two scenarios, “added a Kasper Hjulmand who totally denies the UEFA statement mentioned above. “We felt that they put us under pressure and put us in a dilemma. There were two possibilities, it was very clear, “added the Danish coach.
During his appearance, the Danish coach commented that the UEFA delegate told them that it was impossible to move the game to Monday because Finland had to travel to Saint Petersburg to play on Wednesday, although he did not threaten to give them the game for lost.
