the Dream of the WORLD cup-success live at least two more days for the Danish defense can also touch in handball.
the Danes won the first of two skæbnekampe with 24-18 over Brazil. This means that Denmark with a victory over the French champions on Friday advance to the mellemrunden.
It can be plenty difficult, but the French have after all proved to speak with so far in the tournament, and who is waiting for a genuine nervekamp between two teams teetering on the brink of failure.
The Danish training team had a big task to lift the team less than a day after the disappointment against Germany, where the players ruined it for themselves with a series of afbrændere and technical errors.
Free of errors, the team was also not this time, but the impression was from the start more focused and not as nervous.
With Lotte Grigel as careful staging and a transformed Anne Mette Hansen as the largest skudtrussel, took the danes the initiative from the start.
Defensively so it’s fine. Brazilians have talented individuals but not playing especially fast, and they had all sorts of problems with getting to the chances in the established attacking.
It was remarkable, that Klavs Bruun Jørgensen held the captain Stine Jørgensen on the bench in the first 45 minutes, if you look away from a couple of penalties, which she utilized certainly.
Denmark went to the break with a lead of 11-9, and kampbilledet was virtually unchanged after sidebyttet.
The Danish defensive still had excellent hold, but it was worrying that the man on the other end not received the benefits of the good defence efforts.
As against both south Korea and Germany, you were not taken advantage of possibilities to pull from and create the distance that could bring calm into a pressure hold.
Therefore, upon the edge slowly, and ten minutes before the time reached Brazil up at 16-16.
the Danes knew that they had to have a tie to stay alive in the tournament, but the south americans were under increasing pressure and were beaten to win.
It had to give a nervebetonet end, and pretty it was not, but the Danish players kept this time heads cold when it came.
Stine Jørgensen continued to be confident on penalties, and six minutes before time was anførerens redress consummated, when she chopped a ball in from nine metres for the lead at 20-17.
Towards the end crumbled it for the brazilians, who panicked and threw the balls away. It gave Denmark several cheap goals, and the game got some målcifre, who lied a bit about an otherwise fairly equal performance.
all that is Left is just to wait for Friday, where the two håndboldstormagter – Denmark and France – will meet in a direct duel to follow with Germany and south Korea in mellemrunden.
