Greeks get Henriksen hints

Ever-present
Denmark were eliminated after losing 3-0 against the Czechs in the quarter-finals, but the Panathinaikos FC centre-back, who was ever-present for Denmark throughout their campaign, told Greek newspaper Ta Nea that the tournament's high-fliers are beatable.

Winning formula
"The Czechs are definitely the favourites as they have won all four of their matches and they play good and fast football," the 34-year-old said. "They are like a finetuned engine and have exceptional players in attack and skilful players in midfield.

No fear
"However, I believe that if Greece show no fear and play tight in defence they can go through," he added. "The Czechs may have won all of their matches but Greece beat hosts Portugal and knocked out France, who were the tournament favourites."

Czech goal machine
The Czechs have scored an impressive ten goals in their games against Latvia, the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark, and Henriksen said it is essential that the Greeks do not lose concentration at any moment of the match.

Mistakes costly
"At no stage of the game should the Greeks relax," he warned. "The Czechs have displayed remarkable endurance and are in top form. The slightest mistake could prove costly because they have pace and will take advantage of any error an opponent makes.

Attacking excellence
"[Milan] Baroš and [Jan] Koller work together very well in attack and special care must be taken to stop [Pavel] Nedved who is very fast and has strong legs. [Tomáš] Rosický is equally formidable," he added.
