Norway and Croatia, the winners of the first group stage, will benefit from the program. Henk Groener believes that the differences are too great. The team led by him will be obliged to play 3 games in 4 days, while the Nordics will play 3 games in 6 days.
Handball Women’s European Championship. Dissatisfaction in the Romanian group
The order of the games in the main group was initially different, but was modified according to the preferences of the Danish and Norwegian televisions. For example, Romania should have started with a dispute against Hungary. The “tricolor” will duel with Croatia on Thursday.
It’s a joke! From my point of view, this is not an honest program. The German team kicks off on Saturday, against Hungary, then has games scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. We are required to play 3 games in 4 days. For its part, Norway, which also gave up the organization a few days before the competition, plays on Thursdays, Saturdays and Tuesdays. It is clear that they have more time to rest

European Women’s Handball Championship, under special conditions
The 2020 European Championship is organized in a different context. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, players were unable to make optimal preparation during the break between seasons. Many of the national teams present in Denmark did not play any training matches prior to the competition.
In this context, with poor physical training, the coach’s complaints are justified. Romania coach Bogdan Burcea also complained, accusing the players’ health is in danger. The “Tricolors” will have to play two games every 18 hours, with Hungary and the Netherlands, on Mondays and Tuesdays.
The health of athletes is not monitored, but we oppose it in vain, because we have nothing to do
– Bogdan Burcea, for GSP.ro.
