I wonder if many others felt the same way as the national coach after the 4-1 victory on Monday night: Finally, the party can begin.
In any case, it was a redemption that could both be felt and heard, as Denmark could declare itself ready for the round of 16.
While Kasper Hjulmand stepped off the field in the Park in Copenhagen and sent applause and air kisses to the audience, jubilant football fans gathered together all over the country.
In Aarhus, especially many gathered in Frederiksgade and in Mølleparken, says duty officer at East Jutland Police Stig Heidemann on Tuesday night.
– There had been a few thousand people gathered.
– There have been some complaints about music and song and party, which is quite natural, but there has been no trouble anywhere.
According to the chief of guards, the police have had a good dialogue with the many fans.
– There has been no hassle. There have been exclusively festive elements and party-loving people.
On social media, it abounds with posts from equally happy politicians.
“Is hoarse and happy. We are on, thank you”, writes Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S) on Instagram.
On the same media, the Liberal Party’s leader, Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, reports in company with, among others, party colleague Sophie Løhde:
“Magical evening in the Park. What a team. What a force. What a will. Thank you for taking us on. We are proud of you”.
Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Christian were also present in the Park with this encouragement:
“The dream lives on – we hope for victory”.
In the midst of the victory intoxication, there was also room to pay tribute to Christian Eriksen. A video from Nørrebro’s Runddel in Copenhagen shows two groups of people facing each other. One group shouts “Christian”, while the other answers “Eriksen”.
In another video from the same place, fans are heard singing Gulddreng’s EC song “Helt Sikker”.
– We win the European Championships, it is completely safe, the crowd shouts.
Meanwhile, they are singing along to “Der er et yndigt land” at Trianglen in Østerbro.
From North Jutland Police, duty officer Torben Larsen says that the celebration took place in good order.
– We have not noticed anything, except that we have been out asking people to mute the music in places where the atmosphere has been a little too good, he says.
Now only time will tell whether there will be a folk festival again on Saturday, when Denmark has played the round of 16 against Wales in Amsterdam.
