She was one of the big stars at this year’s WORLD cup. But anyway it ended in a big downturn.
A downturn, which still hurts at the Danish landsholdsmålvogter Sandra Toft.
“the Disappointment has not subsided. It gets almost just got worse and worse. I have to admit. It is sad on all the ways that we do not get a chance to get to the OLYMPICS. It bothers me absolutely wild,” says Toft to JyskeVestkysten.
a week ago ended the WORLD cup in Japan for the Danish håndboldkvinder, who returned home from Kumamoto with a ninth place. A location they could not use to something in the sense that they had to finish in the top seven to guarantee a spot in the OLYMPICS-kvalifikationenen.
It failed after a tie match against Serbia, which was the terminus, at the finals, which featured too many errors from Klavs Bruun Jørgensen’s crew.
Error, which meant that the national team in the last match of the group stage and fighting for WORLD cup survival against France. It succeeded, but the subsequent cost of a new range of faults that the team lost to Norway and thus be able to see semifinalebilletten crumble.
Then there was the hope of the OLYMPICS-qualifying back, and it required the victory over the Netherlands and Serbia, in order to get the last battle, which could ensure the important seventh place finish.
And while Denmark won the first battle, it was only to a point against the serbs. It was a too little, and therefore had the players going home empty-handed.
It means that the next big tournament for Sandra Toft and co. is EM at home in december 2020. The finals, which right now seems unmanageable.
“Yes, it does it well enough. If you have the formula as to how I proceed, I would like to know it. Right now there is no EM-thoughts. I’m just sour, bitter and disappointed. Longer the no,” says the 30-year-old Sandra Toft to JyskeVestkysten.
Målvogteren, which made it excellent for the WORLD cup, is not the only one who has given expression to the disappointment is hard to get over. Sarah Iversen has in a posting on Instagram previously expressed, that it is hard to swallow.
‘The here feeling of disappointment has not yet left the body. The OLYMPICS-the dream is shattered and I am left with an empty feeling. How and when you can accommodate it unbearable? I don’t know, but it requires hard mental work…,’ she wrote earlier in the week.
