HAMBURG (Ekstra Bladet): A moving Nikolaj Jacobsen could not keep back the tears, as Denmark is in the compelling shape had defeated the defending French champions.
– There were many things that went through me. It is great that we can be allowed to play the final at home in front of our own crowd. It means a lot to me and for the players.
– But it is not about us. It also involves many volunteers are people out there in the big and the small clubs that do a great job. They are helping to nurture the skilled håndboldspillere. For them it is also huge, that we can deliver the result of all their good work.
– It is clear that I also thought of my family. They have sacrificed much, and they have been very much alone. My children have been moved well and truly around. It has not always been easy. I know how much it means to them. For me it is also cool that when you spend a lot of time on it, and sacrificing on it, and the family also do it, then it comes here out of it. So is it worth it all.
– It is hard to do without a family. It is also hard when daddy drags them to Germany, and then just progressing a month, because that is the WORLD cup, says to him smiling.
– It was a victory for the whole Handball-Denmark and for you personally?
– I have not won anything with the national team as a player. Often we had to take home early, because we smoke out. For me, it is fantastic now to have won the metal. But let me be clear. We have not yet won it, we would like to. But, despite everything, to be sure to get something with the home, is first and foremost a relief. But now start the hard work again, to see if we can’t win the gold in Herning.
It all went very well against France. What was the plan exactly?
– We would have to go in and play with full speed. We should put pressure on them and put us on the showdown, as we near the a few games have been so good through the whole tournament.
And so, we play a angrebskamp, where we don’t do many things wrong. In this tournament we have not made many technical mistakes, and in the day there was high-quality of our terminations all the way around. It also meant that the French goalkeepers could not get in time. We’re doing 21 goals in the first half against a verdensklassehold. It is a little unheard of.
you Can put words on Mikkel Hansen’s performance?
– He can do something extraordinary. When you have to win such matches, top players also perform. It must be in the degree to say that Mikkel did today, says Nikolaj Jacobsen.
