Helle Thomsen m.fl. udtalelser
De unge rapportere fra EHF fangede blandt andet de to trænere efter Norge - sverige kampen:
Thorir Hergeirsson
On the match:
"Sweden showed an excellent fight. We knew before that if we want to be beat them, we have to show the best match so far in this tournament. And especially in goalkeeping, defence and counter-attacks we did."
On Spain as their final opponent:
"You cannot choose which team you have to face. We have to prepare very well, as after two main rounds defeats Spain clearly improved and came back much more powerful. They are a good and experienced team."
On his memories on the EHF EURO final 2008 in Skopje, won 34:21 by Norway (and he was the assistant coach of Norway):
"I remember a good atmosphere and that it was really loud in the arena. We had more power than Spain, but this match is long time ago, and on Sunday will be an other match."
Stine Oftedal
On the match:
"I am really happy, as we were working hard together, and I am even more satisfied as we managed to beat a strong team like Sweden is."
Betina Riegelhuth
"We were fighting throughout the whole game and we stuck together, this was the key."
Helle Thomsen
On the match:
"Norway were good, mainly in defence and goalkeeping and they had the right concept, while we had problems in attack today."
Louise Sand
On the defeat:
"It sucks when you lose. We didn’t play as well as we can."
Sabina Jacobsen
On the match:
"Norway were good and we weren’t. I wish the Norwegians to win the final."
