The group match of the European Handball Championship is ready. Denmark finishes second in their group after losing to France. Then the host country was responsible for the move, which has been widely criticized.
Instead of playing three games in four days, Denmark will play every other day. At the same time, Sweden is at a disadvantage in the new game plan, then the captain of the national team, Tomas Axnér, collapsed.
– Is it the Potato Cup we play? Tomas Axnér exclaims during Thursday night when Aftonbladet speaks to him.
– I don’t even know where to start … can you imagine the soccer team that faces the Netherlands in the World Cup on Thursday at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and then they find out: “no, it will be Senegal on Friday instead”? That doesn’t sound wise, he continued.
“It’s crazy”
The French national team coach also showed great irritation over the decision.
– Did they change the program? That’s crazy. It is a scandal. A total scandal. It really is a shame. I don’t understand anything, says Olivier Brumholz at the press conference after the victory over Denmark according to the Danish Ekstrabladet.
French midfielder Grace Zaadi:
– It disgusts me. We fought to get there first and we thought we’d get that advantage.
Denmark’s announcement means that Sweden’s game plan is changing. Sweden will face Denmark on Friday, Montenegro on Sunday and France on Tuesday.
The original plan was for Sweden to face Montenegro on Thursday.
“He had done horse work”
Tomas Axnér had calmed down when the captain of the national team met with the press on Wednesday morning.
– When you have sat all night and prepared to meet Montenegro, but then we realize that it is a completely different order that applies. You get a little confused about how it can happen. He was also upset at this point because our analyst at home in Sweden had done horse work with Montenegro. That was the big annoyance and that we have changed the game days. Which means that yesterday we would have trained in a different way, says Axnér.
How did the players react to this message?
– No, I don’t think they were affected. They were surprised that you have to change and think about something else. The difference would have been that yesterday we had trained differently. Then we would have had a harder gym session and maybe we would have been off today. Now it will be a different approach.
