The attacking flair is what will always be remembered of the men in red and white but what they also had was the added bonus of one of the world’s greatest ever goalkeepers behind their defence.That final would see Piontek’s side come up against the might of a newly reunified German side.The game was a tight one with Germany creating more opportunities but Schmeichel again proved to be the hero by denying Karl-Heinz Riedle, Stefan Reuter and,Then, after 18 minutes, the Danish Dynamite kicked into action thanks to an explosive strike from Brondby midfielder.Flemming Povlsen received the ball on the right, cut into the box and pulled it back to Jensen who sent a beamer straight into the top corner.Denmark were 1-0 up and the Germans were rocked.Looking to answer back they launched wave after wave of attack but the Danish defence stood strong.As the game reached the closing stages the favourites became more and more desperate as they looked to pull back an equaliser. Today, I can understand it, but it was difficult at the time. The triumph also came a few weeks after a referendum where the Danes had declined to join the European Union. He was the type of player to glide, not run, across the pitch, with opposition players being left, mouth agape, as he drifted by them like a ghost. "The higher a monkey climbs," Møller Nielsen had once retorted, "the more you can see of its arse. Schmeichel was excellent again but was beaten when Tomas Brolin stabbed a loose ball past him just before the hour to give Sweden a 1-0 victory. Almost no one thought they could win.
"The first is the group stage, and I think we have the quality to get through with Italy. However, from what I can tell what separates players such as Zidane from Laudrup is that Zidane was immense for his country while Laudrup didn't excel as much at that level. He turned to me, though, and reminded me that one of those was quite important. In 1992, they won the European Championship in neighbouring Sweden, their only major trophy. At the same time, their greatest player, Michael Laudrup, was at the peak of his considerable talent. At Madrid I beat Barca 5-0. Laudrup went there (Real) and Zamorano is a goalscorer. Capped 82 times by Denmark, he was part of the side that defied the odds to win Euro 1992.
He was arguably the best player in Europe at the time but felt that being the focal point for club and country was too great a demand upon him. The number of registered professional footballers in Germany was greater than the entire population of Denmark. But it didn’t happen." ".The idea that Denmark could achieve anything without Laudrup seemed farcical. Geopolitics would soon have an impact on UEFA too. They form an unlikely partnership. In 1992, they won the European Championship in neighbouring Sweden, their only major trophy. When I first went to Italy I hated the taste of red wine but now I don't know where I would be without it. Laudrup struggled to flourish in a Lazio side battling relegation however, helped them stay in the league in 1883-84. He was still at odds with Møller Nielsen and would not waiver on returning to a set-up he didn’t agree with. He had been playing under terrible personal pressure during the tournament, having to travel back and forth to Denmark to see his seriously ill daughter.
He is the son of former Danish national team player Finn Laudrup and Michael's oldest son Mads Laudrup has been the team captain of various Danish youth national teams since January 2005, and his youngest son Andreas Laudrup was selected a part of the under-16 national team in March 2006. "On a personal and a professional level it was the best seven years of my life. Just 37 days earlier they weren’t even in the competition; the subsequent run of victories over France, the Netherlands and Germany had surpassed any fairy tale that any Danish author could conjure up. He went to the 1988 European Championship with Denmark, making one appearance in their last group game with Italy after the Danes had been eliminated. "I like my wine. Michael Laudrup had just helped to secure Barcelona their first European Cup a few weeks earlier. Thereafter he was pivotal in establishing Manchester United as the dominant force in the nascent Premier League, winning five of the first eight titles contested. That 24-carat golden generation grew old together; almost as soon as the tournament was over they fossilised and were never the same again.The last player cut from the provisional squad for the latter tournament was a confident and assured 22-year old goalkeeper called Peter Schmeichel, who had just helped to promote his club Hvidovre to the Danish top division. His only problem is his character. "Report tomorrow in Copenhagen, we’ve got a week to prepare. Euro 1992: Denmark 2 Germany 0. Look at Ivan Zamorano. "We had {John} Sivebæk who played in France at the time, and they came up to him and said ‘don’t be too tough on us today, don’t be rough, because we’ve got to play the semi-final.’ He’s relaying that to us, and we’re like ‘No!’ Absolutely no way are we going to let them off with that.’",And they didn’t. Ahead of the final, Schmiechel suggested the Germans were in the same mood. And my answer is always that of course I regret it. Yugoslavia had qualified ahead of them but were ejected because of the war in the Balkans. 'Michelinho', as he had been nicknamed, had just earned a move to Barcelona after creating a reputation for himself playing alongside Michel Platini at Juventus.For the national team, he had been instrumental in one of the all-time great World Cup performances as the 'Brazilians of Europe' bewitched Uruguay 6-1 at the 1986 World Cup. They make things easy and find the right solutions. In zijn eerste seizoen op het hoogste niveau werd Laudrup meteen verkozen tot,Er kwamen talloze aanbiedingen vanuit het buitenland, waaronder van Ajax in de zomer van 1983.
