What They're Saying
France head coach Didier Deschamps (via Goal): "It's hard. We were punished for our mistakes. The game turned on us in favor of a very fast Brazil side. Nevertheless, this game can be a positive thing for us, but we have to be fair and more effective in future. Brazil are preparing for the Copa America in June, our aim of Euro 2016 is more distant."
Denmark head coach Morten Olsen (via Goal): "Nicklas [Bendtner] might have scored four or five goals. On the other hand, though, we cannot demand that he should score all of his chances. It is clear to see that the training efforts have been good for Nicklas recently. I have spoken with Wolfsburg coach Dieter Hecking and he has been very pleased with the effort Nicklas has put in. It has been difficult for him to get playing time because his competitor, Bas Dost, has scored every time he has hit the ball. Nicklas has kept his mouth shut and just kept on training."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Bendtner singlehandedly defeated the United States on Wednesday. In 16 league appearances, however, the 27-year-old has just one goal.
France's Projected Lineup (4-3-1-2): Ruffier; Evra, Koscielny, Varane, Jallet; Matuidi, Kondogbia, Schneiderlin; Fekir; Benzema, Lacazette
Denmark's Projected Lineup (4-3-1-2): Andersen; Boilesen, Kjaer, Sviatchenko, Wass; Dehli, Kvist, Poulsen; Eriksen; Bendtner, Vibe
