Clarke emphasized his confidence in his players, saying, "I trust them implicitly." He revealed that he woke up feeling unusually calm before the game, attributing it to his trust in his team.

Clarke also praised Scott McTominay's overhead kick, calling it "the best I've ever seen." However, he noted that it might not have been the best goal of the night.

Clarke discussed his team's strategy, explaining that he made changes to go two up front, which he believed would be beneficial regardless of whether Denmark had 10 or 11 players on the field.

Clarke also mentioned that he had spoken with Kieran Tierney before the game, discussing the possibility of Aaron Hickey playing at right-back.

Clarke shared his thoughts on McTominay's goal, saying, "When it was rolling back to him on his left foot, I knew he would score." He admitted to initially thinking Kenny McLean had made a mistake when he hit the ball, but was convinced it would go in when he saw it in flight.
