This is the miracle of Denmark in 1992 in the conquest of the Euro Cup

Date:

Denmark you already know what it’s like to win one European Cup. He lifted the title in 1992 in a kind of carom that led the Nordic country to achieve almost a miracle, a feat that no one expected how it turned out.

And in the 90s, European politics went through turbulent times. The Soviet Union was completely destroyed and new states began to emerge. Czechoslovakia also split, Germany united and the Balkan War broke out in Yugoslavia, setting a new continental panorama.

Due to the war, the Yugoslavs were excluded from the European Championship held in Sweden. One selection is sought to fill the position of the Balkans and that is none other than Denmark. Thus, the Danes entered a ‘rebound’ due to the absence of a country at war. Such was the surprise that most of the players were on vacation, although the coach Richard Möller Nielsen called them together and relied on most of his figures.

Michael Laudrup was not there. The Dane had a conflict with the coach that caused him to leave the team, because he did not agree with the coach’s defensive style. Names such as Peter Schmeichel and Brian Laudrup, Michael’s brother, shone.

The tournament consists of eight teams, divided into two groups of four. The first and second in each zone advance to the semifinals. Denmark managed to get into that round with Sweden, leaving the France and England teams eliminated.

In the semifinals they faced the Netherlands, defending champions. In 90 minutes they tied 2 to 2, in 120 minutes they did not break the tie and on penalties the Danes were able to win. In the final, the world champion in Italy 1990, the mighty Germany, waited.

Knowing that everything is possible in a game. And it happened. Denmark came to grow up, with morals through the roof, believing in everything. And they beat the Teutons 2-0 with goals from John Jensen and Kim Vilfort. This is how the Danish miracle was made, a feat that was even brought to the big screen.
