What They're Saying
Germany head coach Hurst Hrubesch (via UEFA): "Looking ahead to the next match against Denmark, we're going to have to start just like we started the second half tonight against Serbia."
Denmark head coach Jess Thorup (via UEFA): "There's only 72 hours before the next game, which is now the most important game, and I know it may be the most difficult of all these group matches. The German team is perhaps the favorite for this tournament. But we got this win [against the Czech Republic], and we can use this confidence for the next match."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Emre Can is able to deploy in his more natural defensive midfield position in Germany's youth setup. Often used as a center-back with Liverpool, the 21-year-old made 27 appearances, boasting one goal and an average of 2.9 tackles and 2.9 clearances. His distribution, however, was key. Can completed 83.2 percent of his passes and still managed to average a key pass every two matches despite his deep-lying role.
Germany's Projected Lineup (4-3-2-1): Leno; Schulz, Knoche, Ginter, Korb; Leitner, Can, Geis; Meyer, Bittencourt; Volland
Denmark's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Jensen; Knudsen, Christensen, Vestergaard, Scholz; Norgaard, Højbjerg, Christensen; Sisto, Madsen, Poulsen
