Training match against Serbia on Saturday and tribute to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Coach Jon Dahl Tomasson hopes for a good party – and admits he would have liked to play with Ibrahimovic during his career.

The training match against Serbia on Saturday is the last before the seriousness starts in the fall with competitive matches. As so many times before, Ibrahimovic is now in focus.

The 42-year-old legend will be honored after the match at Friends Arena in Solna.

He continues:

Even the players look forward to Ibrahimovic's tribute.

25-year-old Hien and goalkeeper Robin Olsen accompanied Dahl Tomasson at Friday's heavily delayed press conference.

Whereupon he praised Hien and Olsen for their attitude, sense of responsibility, and importance for the Danish national team, which is now based on three national matches. Number four – against Serbia – is also the last before the seriousness starts in the fall.

The Nations League is waiting, and just in time for the opening match against Azerbaijan, "JDT" wants his national team to take another step in its development.

He continues to work with the starting lineup since he wants to give many players the chance to show what they're capable of – and show him if they have what it takes on international top level.

Captain Victor Nilsson Lindelöf stepped down in the break against Denmark on Wednesday, but is available for play against Serbia. The same applies to left-back Ludwig Augustinsson, who has joined the team.
