the PURGE against Montenegro began with a minute’s silence for the victims from the shooting in Strasbourg. It was settled, with great respect from both the players and the audience.
it was over with the good manners. After three disappointments in a row traveled to Denmark and delivered a sweaty struggle, which finally lived up to the expectations prior to the team.
once again sit and wonder why there are so crazy big difference in the team from match to match. All the energy and ferocity, to be on the level, was this time made in both defence and attack.

it is, of course, to Sandra Toft had 18 parades, including two in the head, and ended up at a save percentage of 48. It is high class, but unfortunately too late, that we may get to play for medals.
however, also be so honest to admit, that belongs to Denmark not at home yet. We are still in one piece after countries like Norway, France and Russia, but it had undeniably left a better overall impression, if what we saw against Montenegro, had also been shown against France and Russia.
it has hardly been enough to win, there is still a lack of quality in the Danish game. Also against Montenegro there were too many technical errors. All 14 of them it was, and it is too many to win against the really good teams.
many of the errors meant that Denmark in the beginning of the second half was about to throw it all over board. Firemålsføringen at the break was at 11 minutes reduced to just a single goal.

error will be the theme of the upcoming evaluations of the Danish national effort by EM. As I see it, there is only one way forward. Collections. More training.
Klavs Bruun Jørgensen is going to have to work a lot more with his material. His team suffers, obviously, from the lack of coordination in running and passing. The coach must take to roll up our sleeves, and together with the DHF and the clubs create the opportunities for the several collections with the national team.
to get on the podium at all of the championships, says DHF’s team he will play. Yes, yes. but it is hard work over a longer period of time. It could properly begin now.
I on, we get more matches like against Montenegro, and that we will before too long start to bite the best teams in the hamstrings. The talent and potential is present in the Danish western christianity and most, but it must be cultivated and refined, and the exercise begins in the gym.
