Hjulmand encourages Denmark to make England fail under Euro pressure

With the last-four clash to be held in front of 60,000 England fans, Gareth Southgate's in-form side are firm favourites to reach their first European Championship final. The Three Lions have not played in a final at any major tournament since winning the 1966 World Cup. And Hjulmand is hoping the weight of expectations from the football-crazy nation will turn into a suffocating distraction for England.

"Of course there is a lot of pressure on England. We have to take advantage of this situation. They have a lot of supporters but they also have a lot of pressure and expectations," Hjulmand said. "I don't think it will be so easy for them. We think we can take advantage of the pressure England feels."

Dismissing England's favourite tag as irrelevant, Hjulmand added: "I don't think games are won by what experts are saying. It is won on the pitch. "We have shown for a long time that we are very difficult to beat and the opponents have to be very good to beat us. England is a great team but we still believe in what we can do. "This team is so confident. It's not so much nerves, more excitement and expectation. We firmly believe it will be hard for England to beat us. We know we are not done yet." - 'Play with courage' -
