the goal is reached. After a sometimes too thrilling match against Sweden, Denmark is ready for the semifinals against France on Friday in Hamburg.
And it is very deserved. The Danish national team, under the leadership of a very håndboldintelligent and inspiring Nikolaj Jacobsen, has done a perfect job.
Eight matches and eight victories says most. Two of the victories was over Norway and Sweden, both of whom were reported among guldfavoritterne. The role of Denmark can safely take on themselves now.
the reasons why Denmark has been so convincing. Here I will mention just two. Nikolaj Jacobsen has been perfected in the Danish overtalsspil. With Mikkel Hansen as a brilliant conductor, we have virtually not missed a single period in the majority.
second, I want to highlight is the Danish defence. Along the way, lost the team, René Toft Hansen, who ranks among the world’s best defenders. But when he went out, went to Henrik Møllgaard in and lifted the legacy in a beautiful manner.
And when it is difficult to cover the 6:0. Denmark to cover the 5:1 with an incredibly accomplished and Magnus Landin as the advanced. The defense managed Sweden never to solve.
in the previous matches we had to first get through a troubled period. Nikolaj Jacobsen took time out after a quarter of an hour, where Sweden had just come before. Since Denmark had burned eight chances, including several of the really big kind. Mikkel Hansen had, as in the previous match against Egypt, has been the big culprit.
Timeuoten helped for a while. That came oxygen for the brains. Mikkel Hansen began to hit in the bars, and he put many good balls, but the swedes played smart and exploited the expulsions, as Denmark got a streak of.
the Rasmus Lauge had as a playmaker difficult to get its games to work. He is normally strong man against man, but he had immensely difficult to penetrate the solid Swedish 6:0-defence. Therefore, it was necessary to spread the game out and use the wings, and here was Magnus Landin and Lasse Svan again incredibly safe finishers.
still not really ran for Mikkel Hansen, he was switched out with Nikolaj Markussen, and a concentrated Danish period did, that a Swedish lead of 12-9 was retrieved, so that the teams could go to the break 13-13.
After the break came for the severity of the pace in the Danish game, and then lifted Mikkel Hansen and Rasmus Lauge significantly. Nikolaj Jacobsen selected – forced by circumstances – this time to play wide and it gave the bonus. Both Morten Olsen and Nikolaj Markussen contributed to the fun.
won without any problems the early struggle in the Box of Hungary with the 35-26. The norwegians punished consistently hungarians ‘ many technical errors, and already in the middle of the first half had Norway full control over the purge.
It was the cat’s play with the mouse, and Norway can now look back on a WORLD cup campaign, where in eight games has been to seven victories and just one defeat. It was as familiar to Denmark in the opening group stage.
Norway meets Germany in the second semi-final on Friday, and thus it is not impossible that we get a pure nordic final in the Box on Sunday. It could be fun.
