Is this what a winner looks like? Mikkel Hansen steps back a little, takes his time, speaks quietly, very concentrated, seriously. It’s a scene in which people shout, laugh and shout. Beer cans are opened with a hissing sound. Mikkel Hansen seems like a foreign body here as he gives insights into his emotional world long after everyone else has spoken.
When he finally speaks, he actually just praises the young players on the team. They were the key to the title. He uses a few sentences to describe the pressure that was on him because the entire handball world was expecting the Danish triumph. This is what joy looks like? You would want to hug the 196 centimeter long backcourt player if it weren’t for his inner spacers and his reserve. A week later, his Danish club Aalborg HB announced that Mikkel Hansen would be out indefinitely with stress symptoms. The club asks that you refrain from any questions out of respect for Hansen.
