Morten Olsen says that Denmark will come back stronger from Euro 2012.

Denmark manager Morten Olsen has insisted that his side has a bright future despite crashing out of Euro 2012.

The Danes failed to make it past the group stages of the tournament after conceding late winners against both Portugal and Germany in their final two matches. However, Olsen believes that Denmark, who shocked Netherlands with a 1-0 win in the Group C opener, can come back stronger from the competition and has defended their tactics in the 2-1 defeat to the Germans.

"If you try to put them under pressure, then you can get punished quickly," he said.

"Being 1-1 was a good result for us because then you just need a lucky punch maybe with a set-piece, but if you gamble too much, they can hit you quickly.

"We are disappointed not to have gone through, but this team has a future."

Denmark won the competition back in 1992.
