Morten Olsen is supported by all his players, who wonder why anyone can start speculating in how teams should be able to agree to a result involving four goals.
Head coach Morten Olsen respects the decision and is aware that the situation may lead to the fact that the Danish squad the next days - and in the worst case - for all of the EURO 2004-tournament consists of 22 players.
Morten Olsen, however, wanted to inform internally the Danish delegation before the news was revealed to the media and public Monday afternoon.

 Football | Denmark: Morten Olsen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Olsen favours an attacking brand of football, with two wingers, and has developed a settled team largely unchanged from the World Cup XI - too settled, say critics, who'd like to see more youngsters in the team.
With his suntan and impressive thatch of grey hair he could be a senior broadcaster on a satellite news channel, or an American TV evangelist, without the messy personal life.
Olsen plays a relatively fluid 4-2-3-1 formation with Schalke's Ebbe Sand a lone striker, with back-up from Tomasson, and Jesper Gronkjaer and Martin Jorgensen on the wings.

Morten Olsen is a national hero in his homeland as one of those rare breed of men who have graced the World Cup as both a player and a coach, as he did in 1986 and 2002 respectively.
Olsen followed a glittering career as a player by taking the coaching job at Brondby and led them to the Danish title before moving to FC Cologne where he spent two seasons between 1993 and 1995.
Olsen may well be heading back to Germany at the head of the Denmark team for the 2006 World Cup as his contract has been extended until that time.

 Denmark national football team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Denmark made their first World Cup appearance in the 1986 World Cup, with players like Michael Laudrup, Preben Elkjær, Jesper Olsen, and Morten Olsen, and the team surprised the world, sweeping the group, including a 6-1 trashing of Uruguay.
The new coach would be the old national team captain from the 70s and 80s, Morten Olsen, and the team was quickly dubbed the Olsen Gang, resembling the popular Danish movies of a man with a plan.
With Olsen at the helmet, Denmark's tactics shifted to an even more offensive tactic, with an emphasis on the wingers and Olsen also made the point of only using players in form in the team.

 SI.com - Soccer - Attacking Denmark dream of a repeat of 1992 title win - Wednesday June 9, 2004 9:37PM
The backbone of Denmark, famed for the entertaining attacking soccer promoted by coach Morten Olsen and for their hordes of good-natured supporters with red-and-white face paint, is intact from the World Cup in Japan and South Korea.
Olsen skippered the exceptional Danish side which included fondly remembered greats such as Michael Laudrup and Preben Elkjaer Larsen and reached the second round of the 1986 World Cup finals in Mexico.
The charismatic and temperamental Olsen has stressed the importance of crowd entertainment in his coaching but has also shown tactical skill, most notably at the 2002 World Cup where Denmark beat defending champions France 2-0 and finished top of their first-round group.

Danish football fans have seen their national side steadily improve at the World Cup, and current coach Morten Olsen has every reason to be confident again for this year#s edition in South Korea and Japan.
But Olsen's bunch reached the May 31-June 30 World Cup in style, shaking off a dismal Euro 2000 showing of three straight losses to remain unbeaten in ten qualifiers and finishing ahead of the fancied Czech Republic.
Olsen has former international star Michael Laudrup as an assistant, but neither of them can bank on a victory against France to whom they lost 2-1 in the first stage of the 1998 World Cup and 3-0 at Euro 2000.

A 1-0 win for Bosnia-Herzegovina against third-placed Norway was good news for Morten Olsen's side at the weekend and three points against Romania would see them build up an unassailable lead at the top of the group.
However, Olsen's confidence may have taken a slight knock with the withdrawal of Kasper Bøgelund from his 20-man squad, following the 22-year-old's failure to respond to intensive treatment on a groin injury.
Midfield player Morten Wieghorst is also struggling with a knee injury, and Olsen can ill-afford to lose any more experienced players.

When they took over from the Swede, Bo Johansson, in the aftermath of the European Championship, Denmark was a long way from the heights that Olsen and Laudrup had experienced as members of the national side in the 1980s.
But the coaching duo patiently set about changing the system (to a 4-3-3 formation), the personnel (younger players were finally intro duced) and ultimately the fortunes of their side.
Usually used in a withdrawn role by Denmark coach Morten Olsen, Tomasson is a crucial figure in Denmark's World Cup plans and contributed five goals to the Danes' qualifying campaign.
