Eriksen: Denmark’s ambitions increased

Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen says his country’s goals at the World Cup have increased after the boost they got from their run to the European Championship semi-finals last year.

The team bounced back from the traumatic loss of Eriksen to a heart attack in their Euro 2020 opener against Finland to get out of their group and make it all the way to the last four where they narrowly lost to England at Wembley.

“When we were in the finals last time, there was a clear goal to get past the group stage and take it from there,” Eriksen said.
