KOLDING (VG) (Norway-Poland 35-22) Veronica Kristiansen is on her way to training after a coronation period with the police at the gate in Hungary. The opening of the European Championship was good, but Kristiansen seemed like a question mark when she was named the best player on the field.
– So I seemed surprised, Kristiansen laughs when VG asks.
– I think they were wrong with me and Henny. Maybe that’s what I reacted to, he says, referring to the six-goal scorer Reistad. The 21-year-old played for Poland when she replaced Kristiansen in the second half.
Veronica Kristiansen has been a key player for Norway since 2014, but lost last year’s World Cup due to a sad injury. He is now improving after 22 days in home quarantine in Györ, including his own covid-19 disease.

Hungarian city police regularly came to Kristiansen’s door to check that he was home and that he was not violating quarantine rules.
– I was prepared for that. It is good that the police keep the rules in order. A quarantine is a complete isolation. It is not like in Norway. You can’t air out once, he says of the repeated police visits.
He had to go through a robust regimen of heart and lung testing before regaining his gamer’s license. To begin with, the heart rate should not be above 100. Right now, Silje Solberg is experiencing the same in Hungary. He also had to start walking training.
– I have received a very good follow-up from the club after the covid disease. I’m glad I had to go through all the tests to be sure I have side effects after illness, says Veronica Kristiansen.
– Did you get impatient?
– Of course. I think everyone would have been, he responds.
She was declared ready to play again when Norway kicked off the European Championship meeting in Denmark last Monday.
– It was very nice to be back, he says after 29 minutes and 13 seconds on the field in his first counting game since October 17.
She was carefully paired in the dress rehearsal against Denmark last week. The handball star from the Mjøndalen football stadium fared much better against the Poles.
– I feel like I am where I need to be both physically and mentally. But it will be even better in the coming days, he says after his first two goals at the Euro.

– I should have fun on the court and smile today. I achieved my goal in any case, it says and adds:
– We may have started a little slow in the first place, but we are on the mend. We had problems with his line player in the first half, but he improved as the pace came in the second half.
Now Germany awaits Saturday. The Germans defeated Cristina Neagus over Romania on Thursday. There will be a small group final against team Kristiansen & co. lost the opening of the European Championship in 2018. The defeat ruined the entire championship for Norway, who finished in fifth place.
– A rematch. We know that Germany is good and we must be prepared, promises the best player in Norway.
According to the organizer of the European Championship.
