Hanche-Olsen scored one of Mainz’s two goals on what was to be a pitch-dark day for Borussia Dortmund. The big team was about to take their first Bundesliga gold in ten years, but instead the Norwegian and the rest of the Mainz team ensured that the match was still 2-2, and that Bayern Munich eventually ran away with the gold. SCORA: Here, Hanche-Olsen is congratulated by his teammates after the first goal against Dortmund. The match even ended 2–2. Bayern Munich secured their eleventh straight league title with a 2-1 away win against Cologne. Photo: SASCHA SCHUERMANN / AFP – People hate Mainz and me in Germany now. They would prefer Dortmund to win because it has been so long since the last time. I have received a lot of hate messages, but also a lot of tributes from Bayern fans. I think I’ll eat and drink for free in Munich this summer, says Hanche-Olsen to news. – Much that goes beyond mother and lover Because the phone of the Bærum boy boiled after the match. It was especially on Instagram that he was provoked, and it was not only himself who was the subject of abusive language. – A lot of hate messages, a lot that goes beyond mother and lover too. That’s part of it. Also some tributes from Bayern fans. It went hot after the match, yes, he says. – How extreme was it? – It was a lot. There were probably 500 messages straight after the match and it continued. It showed that there were quite a few people who got along and watched that match and took it with them. – Has there been anything more than just messages? – No, it hasn’t. It mostly has been. It is also a cool experience that I take with me. I feel sorry for Dortmund. I could feel how hard it was for them. Especially with Julian who has done really well there, played everything and had a chance to win the Bundesliga. It’s quite big, I knew them a bit too, replies the centre-back. NATIONAL TEAM PLAYER: Hanche-Olsen has been a fixture in Ståle Solbakken’s recent national team squads.

Bæringen broke through in his childhood club Stabæk and played for Belgian Gent before his stay in Germany. – I think it is perhaps my biggest blink of an eye in my career so far. Considering the size, I think it is the biggest. I noticed that when I scored, when you get a stadium with 80,000 to be completely silent. After the transfer from Gent earlier this year, Hanche-Olsen has a lot of confidence in Mainz. He has also been selected for the upcoming European Championship qualifiers against Scotland and Cyprus. The 26-year-old’s score against Dortmund was the first in the match, as well as being the first he scored for Mainz. – I don’t know if the yellow wall has been so quiet before, he describes.
