– We have a chance of a few percent and will try to take it, says Sävehof’s goalkeeper Simon Möller breathlessly and thinks about the return next week.
At the announcer’s call, the crowd stood up and gave their support to the players, clapping for their own handball record in the Partille Arena. The previous record was 3,750 spectators in the premiere in 2016.
– They were really good, a world team. When they play like they do today, they are difficult to deal with for any team in the world. They were one, two or three numbers too big for us today, says Möller, who shared the goalkeeping duties with Oscar Sävinger, to SVT Sport.
Emil Berlin, chosen as Sävehof’s best player, and Oli Mittun did what they could with six goals each.
Gottfridsson: “It was a new feeling”
Flensburg had more weight and better width in their attack. Emil Jakobsen, nine, Johannes Golla, eight, and Lasse Möller, 7, led the Germans’ target manufacture. Jim Gottfridsson was one hundred percent with six goals on six shots.
Sävehof has eleven goals to take in the return away from home next week.
– We have one match left and it will be even tougher, but we have surprised before in the European Games and made the impossible possible and tried to surprise today as well, even if it didn’t work, says Möller.
