In 2016, I edited "Europamestrene", an anthology exploring the history of the Men's European Championship in Football. In my own contribution to this volume, I looked towards the future: What is needed by the Danish national football team to once again become a strong competitor among the best teams internationally? This chapter discusses how to upgrade “The Red Thread”, the Danish development strategy in football. Based on advanced international research in high performance, current trends and lessons are analyzed and suggestions are made as to how to meet the challenges so that Denmark again can win international titles.
