VG Exchange: How played the Norwegian girls against Germany!
Pernille Wibe got essentially the job of replacing Molid, and did a good match.
– Pernille takes the job very well, and it is important for us that the central line works. summed coach Thorir Hergeirsson in the press zone after the battle.
It was particularly Løke and Grimsbø who really stood up and showed the way. Løke got then also the official price match best player.
Grimsbø did two good innings and was announced superseded by Silje Solberg on two penalties – which were saved.
– This was fun. Everyone would win. I felt we had a good grip on them. Now we’ll just continue in the same way by taking small lift for every game, says Grimsbø VG.
– How important was it for you to stand two such great innings?
– It was delicious. When one has a good first half, like today, it’s almost a little annoying that there is pause. It is a mental challenge to be as “on” after 15 minutes break. Therefore it was important to get that feeling today, says 30-year-old who saved 16 of 36 shots.
Løke was not satisfied until she had inserted nine goals, and Gyor-star that filled 33 years yesterday should take much of the credit for Norway led comfortably throughout and worn won by six goals.

If you have it, it is easier to build layers at both ends, said Hergeirsson to VG, adding that he believes Wednesday’s opponent will be Montenegro.
– It’s Heidi. It does not surprise me anymore. She is a machine. I am insanely happy she is our team, says Camilla Herrem VG.
