Swedish anger after game time change in the European Handball Championship



[ad_1]

On Tuesday night the group stage game of the European Handball Championship was played. In group A, Denmark fell to France, who later ranked first in the group. Therefore, host country Denmark came in second and then made sure to change the already determined game schedule to their advantage.

Which means that Sweden now has new game days and a new game schedule.

According to Sweden’s first schedule, they would face Montenegro on Thursday, then Denmark on Friday and France on Tuesday. Now, instead, they will face the Danes first, on Friday, then Montenegro on Sunday and France on Tuesday. In this way, Denmark gets a more favorable game schedule with one match every other day instead of three matches in four days.

The message came in late Tuesday night. and on the Swedish field, where the players were already sleeping, he was upset.

– I don’t even know where to start. Can you imagine that the national soccer team will face the Netherlands in the World Cup on Thursday at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and then they will tell them “no, it will be Senegal on Friday instead.” That doesn’t sound prudent, national team captain Tomas Axnér tells Aftonbladet.

– It was decided that the second would meet the third first and so on. Who has changed this? Is it Denmark? I do not understand.

For Swedish management staff changes mean more jobs.

– We have an analyst, Pontus (Ward Wiklund), who sat down and worked with Slovenia and Montenegro all day so that we were at the forefront. And I’ve been sitting since that game, just looking at Montenegro. I called Pontus now and told him and he just said “Yeah? Well? “It’s just a matter of clapping the computer again and downloading new games tomorrow, says Axnér.
