Before the start – Before today’s game against Brazil, Gislason once again expressed his respect for a colleague from football. “It’s a shame that Hansi Flick was so criticized for his work, but he looked at a lot of young players and used them to find his people,” said the 65-year-old, analyzing the former national soccer coach’s tenure. This ended quite abruptly after a sporting decline.
Before the start – national coach Alfred Gislason and his team look back on a successful year in 2024. The highlight: silver at the Olympic Games in Paris. From the DHB team’s perspective, this is how things could continue at the World Cup, which officially starts on Tuesday.
