Brian Riemer, the Danish coach, analyzed the draw for the Nations League group, which placed his team against Portugal, Norway, and Wales, highlighting the reunion with the Portuguese national team and the Scandinavian rivalry. In statements to the newspaper Bold, the coach discussed the upcoming challenges, particularly the match against the Portuguese, against whom Denmark seeks revenge. It is worth recalling that in the last edition of the tournament, it was Portugal that eliminated Riemer's team in the quarter-finals: "It's a very exciting group. We have a great opportunity to get our revenge on Portugal. We will face Norway, our Scandinavian sister, with whom we have common points, which will make those matches special. Wales surprised us last year, and the fact that they are playing at the top level is a source of pride." Another highlight of the group will be the Scandinavian duel with Stale Solbakken's Norway, a clash that Riemer considers "super interesting." The coach compared the match to a school rivalry: "It's always a bit special to face the team next door, where emotions are at stake. That's why we are very much looking forward to it." Despite the excitement, Riemer acknowledges the difficulty of the challenge. "Norway has a fantastic football team, with world-class stars, so it will be a tough game," he admitted. The coach believes that the two teams are very close in terms of quality but gives a slight edge to the Norwegians. "At the moment, Norway is fortunate to have some of the best players in the world, which may give them a slight advantage. Other than that, I would say that they are two teams very close to each other," he analyzed. Norway, it should be noted, qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1998, finishing the qualifying phase without any defeats, with an impressive record of 37 goals scored and only five conceded, largely thanks to stars like Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard. The group stage of the Nations League is scheduled to begin at the end of September.
