The winning team will finally qualify the Budapest Four
The CSM entered the cabins, score 13-15, and at the beginning of the second part the Danish broke up at 3 goals. However, the Romanians returned, pushed from the back by a multiplin-room, took over the management and broke into three lengths in front, but eventually won to the limit, and everything will decide on the return from Denmark.
Helle Thomsen, after the victory with Esbjerg: “I showed that we can”
“It was a very difficult match. On the field there were two very good teams. Esbjerg played very well in the first half, but we raised our level in the second act. I do not think we made our best game in the first half.
I knew it would be difficult to play during this period because the Romanians celebrate with their families (no Easter). However, the atmosphere in the room was very beautiful.
We know that the return from Denmark will be very difficult, but today we have shown that we can rise to Esbjerg ”said the coach of CSM Bucharest, Helle Thomsen, quoted by Digisport.ro.
