Intro:
Denmark have trained at the Imtech Arena in Hamburg ahead of their friendly with Brazil.
Around 40,000 fans are expected to make the trip to see their side take on the South Americans.
Script:
After a week at a training camp, Morten Olsen's Denmark side are preparing for their Euro 2012 warm up game against Brazil.
The Danes have been drawn in Group B at Euro 2012 - arguably the hardest group of all - and must face the Netherlands, Germany and Portugal.
Olsen has said that he intends to play most of his players against Brazil - although veteran winger Dennis Rommedahl is nursing a thigh injury.
"It is obvious, that is just a friendly match. For us the first match against Holland is most the important and not the one tomorrow. There have been a lot of test matches, that we've played throughout the years to prepare for all the European and World Championships. We had some good results, some of them went bad - we even lost 6-0 against Holland once and lost against some other teams. But we've won some matches too. It is important that we can get good insights in the mistakes we're making during the match tomorrow and learn from them for the second week, checking our physical constitution and improve for the next match."
