It was in an interview with Danish TV 2 that Thorir Hergeirsson spoke about how Norway prepares to meet the Danish 7-on-6 game before the match against Denmark in the final. – Do you think I’m going to tell you? That is the stupidest question I have heard, replied the national team manager. – How big a focal point has it been for you?, asked Danish TV 2. – Of course it is a focal point. – Damn it, said Hergeirsson when he leaves the interview. – Stupid question In Denmark, the behavior of Norway’s coach has caused reactions. – I was shocked when I saw the interview. What on earth is that kind of reaction? It is a completely relevant question he is being asked, said handball commentator Johnny Wojciech Kokborg to BT GET TO HEAR IT IN DENMARK: Thorir Hergeirsson.

When you get the same answer five times, that should be enough. It would be strange if we talked on Danish TV about what we should do, he said. – Across the border, Norway has already played against the Danes in the tournament, when they lost in the intermediate stage. The Danes have had an offensive and tough style in the championship in Slovenia and several Norwegian players have previously said that Denmark plays extremely tough. – There are many things that are a little over the line. Then it will be up to the judges to take it when it happens. Then there are perhaps more things that you don’t see. We have to be smart in our counterplay, says Reistad. PHYSICAL: The Danish team has a rough style of play. Here they pack in Norway’s Henny Reistad. Photo: Beate Oma Dahle / NTB – We would like to play hard. It was two teams with great attitude and great physicality who met each other. That will also be the key tomorrow, and make the match as hard as possible, says Denmark’s Kathrine Heindahl to news Captain Stine Bredal Oftedal and goalkeeper Silje Solberg-Østhassel, who have been decisive pieces for Norway’s road to the final, have also noticed the Danes’ tough style. – They play very hard, without a doubt. They are very physical. That’s the list they’ve settled on. They are allowed to play like that and then we have to be ready for it, says Bredal Oftedal to news. – They play very hard and are very physical. But I’m really looking forward to playing, says Solberg-Østhassel to news. news’s handball expert Marit Malm Frafjord nevertheless believes that Norway will win its ninth EC gold on Sunday. – All Norwegians think so. I’m very excited about whether we can handle being in a final, but I think we’ve been so good at handling the challenges we’ve had in the past, I hope I can tease Frafjord after the match, Denmark national team manager Jesper Jensen replies to news.
