Hear Emma Lindqvist about what the support means in the player above.
Sweden is ready for the quarter-finals of the Handball World Cup and secured the place in front of 10,561 people in Scandinavium. This means that the record listing from last Tuesday, 8,538 people, only stood for four days.
– Fantastic. They deliver up to the mood we want, says Emma Lindqvist to SVT Sport and then adds:
– The crowd also put pressure on the referees and were able to help us when we had a bit of adversity. They really become our extra player.
Lindqvist stepped forward
Lindqvist took a big responsibility during the match and poured forward. The 26-year-old scored seven goals and was Sweden’s top scorer along with Jamina Roberts.
On Monday, the main round ends when Sweden meets Montenegro. After that, the quarter-finals await in Herning, Denmark.
