Norwegian playmaker decided to retaliate. On their way.
Norway – Sweden 29-25
BUDAPEST (Aftenposten): Stine Bredal Oftedal has got full confidence that track woman and manager in the Norwegian offensive game on the road to Euro final.
Against Sweden in the semifinals Friday night she showed also a new side of himself.
Defense giant.
But first: Ida Odén drag a few fakes that sends Oftedal up in the much talked sausage booth and can easily reduce to 2-3 behind Silje Solberg.
– She ran the back and forth two to three times. I thought she should have been blown off for too many steps. But it was very annoying.
– Is it that you then decide that “it there, it should not be allowed to again”?
– Yes, today I did it. And it was like that, but it’s not always that you get it.
Brag boss
On Friday night she got it. She stood both as thousands (extremely) and Deuce (second edge) in defense and created increasingly problems for the Swedes.
It was noticed in the dugout.
– Now wins we primarily on defense and speed. Stine and Nora (Dark) is on the move. Stine also plays brilliant defensive play, especially in the second half. Remarkable that a little strokes fell great oaks so boasted Thorir Hergeirsson.

As France is pro now become a defensive battle?
– Haha, it was certainly not so bad of a little girl of 1.68 meters ?! But I know I still have a lot to work with. I just have to be aggressive in my game, said Noida girl after the game.
One who has the belief that she could become an important defensive player on the national team, said Hergeirsson. It has surprised many that he has used Oftedal as deuce.
– If Stine uses the tactical characteristics she has also attacked the defense, so she becomes an excellent defender. The height does not have everything to say. It’s more about reading the game, he said earlier in the European Championships.

Defense is effort and experience
Øystein Haväng, former national fight and current NRK expert, agrees with Hergeirsson.
– She’s much better team than she has been before. Stine is good to initiate processing and good to control – despite his young age. I think she grows into a good playmaker. But she can perfect his shot from the floor even more, he said midway through the championship.
He sees no reason why she should not be able to be an even better defensive player.
– Attacks is more instinct and qualities. Defense is effort and experience. Stine has even more pressing with. There is no disadvantage that she is so small.
Turns back after adversity
2012 was a heavy landslagsår for her. First she experienced being dropped from the Olympic squad for London after having been two years in the national team. Then she was sent home from EM later in the year and replaced by another player. She had not played well enough.
– There was no pleasant experiences. Now my goal is to be on the Olympic team in 2016, she told Aftenposten earlier in the championship.
Therefore, it is now extra well that final place in a championship is assured, with her as playmaker and attacks general.
– It is very good and I am very happy with the role. Previously I played a little elsewhere on the pitch. It has built up over time.
An EM finale she describes in the same way as many of her teammates: “Fantastic.”
During the semifinals she noticed that it was not a fight like any other game.
– You go from being elated to be nervous, and suddenly you’re a little scared sometimes.
