Aalborg Håndbold recently won a close match against GOG with a score of 30-28, despite dealing with several players being sick or injured. Coach Stefan Madsen expressed relief that the team found the resources to secure the victory, praising the entire squad for their efforts.
Star player Mikkel Hansen, fresh off winning a silver medal for Denmark in the European Championship, acknowledged the challenges due to the team’s limited roster but felt they managed well. Hansen noted that the team could have sealed the game earlier but missed some opportunities, allowing GOG to stay in the match.
Henrik Møllgaard, another key player, voiced frustration about the grueling schedule ahead, calling it “unforgivable planning.” The team faces a series of tightly packed games, including the Final Four in the Santander Cup and Champions League matches. Møllgaard, dealing with a minor injury, stressed the challenges of maintaining performance under such conditions.
When asked if the players were exhausted, Hansen pushed back, suggesting that the team wasn’t fatigued but needed more time to sync after the recent European Championship. Despite the lack of practice, they maintained control of the game from start to finish.
