The Norwegian tabloid newspaper “VG”, Verdens Gang (“the way of The world”), is not particularly squeamish. Things are called by name, whether you are beautiful or ugly. Radiant Norwegian colleagues found the performance of the Handball Playmaker Sander Sagosen in the semi-final victory of the Norwegian team on Friday night in Hamburg against Germany. Ten out of ten, they gave the 23-year-old Trondheim – but only because the scale ends there.
Sagosen is a professional with star appeal; this makes him a much-respected figure in the Boulevard. His girlfriend is the sister of the Norwegian Handball playmaker Stine Oftedal: Handball is also in Norway a large family.

Eleven through-balls, gates, attributed to the statistician for Sander Sagosen against Germany. Five own hit. In fact, Sagosen succeeded in the basketball world Cup so far, almost everything he touched. It should stay in the final on Sunday (17.30 clock) so, even if the unassuming, high-level meeting at the end of the left says outside Magnus Jöndal: “Denmark is the favourite. They play at home and have been the best team.“
Since 2014, the former Bay professional Christian mountains to the Norwegians. It went steadily uphill. Mountains is one of the most exciting guys on the bench. He has a lot to go through in life, had to recover in Flensburg, Germany, of cancer, is harder, relentless. A democratic principle of leadership, such as in Scandinavia popular, is not his thing. Mountains in the team and in the Association. As his Danish colleague, Nikolaj Jacobsen resembles him very much.
Outwardly, that is not the case. Mountains is a narrow ascetic tendency to lack of Humor. Jacobsen is a plumper connoisseurs with a resounding Laugh. Both are consummate professionals as a volleyball teacher. Since nothing is left to chance. After a couple of Games in Herning groaned Jacobsen under the media and public burden: Everyone wanted to get a glimpse of him and the players. Handball is in December, when the women in their big tournaments to play, and in January, cultural heritage in the small Kingdom.
The enthusiasm goes much further than in Norway, where the view especially on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as a ManUtd coach and winter sports enthusiasts.

Ease mixed with force, Overview and sophistication than seven meters shooter. Hansen would also be a good defensive player, you would have found Nikola Karabatics successor. In rarely seen virtuosity, Hansen moved on to the Danish game at the 38:30-the semi-final victory against France.
