When #DEN get into the final third, their front three occupy the central defenders, while the wingbacks force the #CZE fullbacks to mark them.
The Danish forwards would drop from the forward lines into the middle third to drag their man markers out of position.

Damsgaard for #DEN in this example drops deeper, dragging Celustka with him.
This creates space for Dolberg to run into, while also pulling Kalas out of position.
Now that the back line is shifting, Braithwaite can attack space left behind defenders following their markers.

The #CZE would press with a front three so that they could go man for man against the #DEN central defenders.
Denmark would counter this by abandoning their tactic of playing out from the back and choose to kick it into the wide areas where they have created 1v1s or 2v1s.

Denmark are more than capable of playing out from the back. However, they're also able to rely on the individual qualities of their players, like Maehle, Wass, and Damsgaard, to win their 1v1 and 2v1 duels.
The #CZE lacked much width at times. An overreliance on Coufal, who albeit had a great game, was obvious for all to see. With no central passing options, Coufal struggled to make use of the space in the wide areas.
Centrally, #DEN could shield the the Czech forward players.

The #CZE were able to score quickly after the second half began, but it was largely due to a change in personnel shocking #DEN . Afterwards, Denmark settled & were able to remain calm in defense.
With no players to link play between defense & attack, chance creation is minimal.
