Denmark – Norway 26-29 (14-17)
Norway had built up a four-goal lead at the start of the second half, but Denmark was quick to rebound. Some very even last 30 minutes ended in another victory for Norway.
Therefore, Norway has won both of the preparation matches against Denmark.
– It fluctuates, but I think there are many good things. Denmark is a very physical team and I think we need to know a little about that. There were some things that were better than yesterday, national team captain Stine Bredal Oftedal tells TV 2.
– Icelanders cannot lose to Denmark
With eight minutes left, Bredal Oftedal Norway scored two important goals and gave Norway the 26-24 lead. But when Denmark dropped to 26-25, Thorir Hergeirsson was obviously upset on the sidelines.
– Look at the position in the game, we have momentum and we have control, then we throw the ball. For. This is training to live the game and direct it, Hergeirsson shouted to the handball girls in the timeout.
– It is not often that Hergeirsson uses the outer voice in the inner, but I saw it in him. He was upset, says TV 2 commentator Harald Bredeli.
After the game, Hergeirsson had this to say:
– You know, Icelanders cannot lose to Denmark, says the coach of the national team to TV 2 with a smile and explains the background of the “thunder speech”:
– Maybe it was a little unnecessary and a lot, but we will act much more tactically in those situations. We will spend more time and we will not take risks. The Danes love trying to gag us and it was relatively easy to get a free kick in the match. But we could have been a lot more cynical there.
Self-critical after winning the European Championship event: – I don’t bother playing worse than this
The national team coach received a response to the accusation and the handball girls rose to a three-goal lead.
Dark: – Very delicious
Nora Mørk was dissatisfied with the lack of goals after yesterday’s game. On Thursday there was one goal and five out of five from penalties.
– I was better today than yesterday because it didn’t take long, but there is still a bit to follow. But I’m very happy with the penalty shoot-out. They have very good goalkeepers so it was fun to make it happen. Very delicious, highlights Mørk to TV 2.
Like Wednesday, Herrem became Norway’s top scorer with seven goals.
Shaky first round
