the Excitement quivers clearly in the air. But it is not the only one feeling that hangs like a little cloud before the crucial WORLD cup crunch against Serbia.
“It missed the semi-finals sitting there still. It is røvirriterende, that we have not got it. I thought seriously, as we beat France, that we would go all the way and ride on a wave,” says Sarah Iversen honestly.
Denmark has beaten France and the Netherlands, while it has been for the defeat to Norway and Germany. The latter was back in the group stage and also meant that Denmark only got one point with over to mellemrunden.
And therefore it is also the struggle that still bothers Sarah Iversen. It does she does not hide, and the frustration is evident in her voice.
“We stand good in defense and comes to big chances, and we sure the balls out over the sideline or over the goal. When I think ‘of hell – the battle could just have been so crucial’. Or against south Korea, where we are ahead by fucking two targets, since there are missing four minutes, and then the ends of the tie. It is such situations where you think: ‘This is fucking just expensive money to learn’,” says Sarah Iversen.
Sunday’s defeat to Norway meant that it is now square in the OLYMPICS-qualification, it applies.
the house may, after all, put a check mark by one of the big goals for this year’s WORLD cup.
“the OLYMPICS-qualification draws it up, otherwise… If we had nothing to play for now, I would also feel that the results were great, would be forgotten in relation to the stupid mistakes we made against Germany and south Korea. I’m glad we still have something to play for. After all, it is great, if we get the OLYMPIC qualification,” says Sarah Iversen.
the Recipe to get it in the house is simple. Denmark must beat Serbia on Wednesday morning, Danish time. So is the national team guaranteed a match on the qualifying 7. space. Fail it, they can only thank themselves.
“It wouldn’t be the first time. So, it is a bit the same smear. We really can attain. Before we took off, we had a feeling that it would we well could. If it was going to end up with something failure-ish again, will be so sour,” says Sarah Iversen.
Last year got the national team several slaps. It has not been the case this year, as the team has several times talked about having developed much. But should the OLYMPICS-qualification kikse, has it been enough?
“I hope not, we need to out in such a situation where you have to think like that. It is the only OLYMPIC qualification now, I think is approved. Otherwise I will not be satisfied with what we have achieved,” says Sarah Iversen.
It is well now, In earnest, must show the development, has been talking about?
“Yes. This is the last chance,” states Sarah Iversen firmly.
the Match between Denmark and Serbia will be played Wednesday at 10.00 Danish time, and you can follow it LIVE here on bt.dk. Before then you could also follow the showdown between the Netherlands and south Korea, which has importance for Denmark.
To throw the Dutch points, get Denmark with a victory over Serbia in the fight for the 5. and 6. the square, which also means that the OLYMPIC qualification will be secured.
