cool. Texting good luck.
Is this Glenn Solberg’s opening blue and yellow comeback for Andreas Nilsson?
– I was surprised, says the big star.
After Vesperm lost in the Champions League semi-final on Saturday, Sportbladet raised the national team affair with Andreas “Stick” Nelson once again.
Nelson was there Glenn Solbergs The first gathering was in the fall of 2020, but he was hit with the 2021 World Cup after he demanded time off for the first two days of recharging to meet his family after a Champions League playoff in the break.
The 32-year-old has since been disqualified, and TV sofa has seen Sweden claim a silver medal at the World Cup, go to the Olympic quarter-finals and win the European Championships.
When Sportbladet spoke to Nelson during the Olympics last summer, he had ditched the national team after not being in contact with Solberg since the pre-World Cup talks.
“You don’t have hard feelings”
But now it may have sparked hope for Nelson, who wants nothing better than to play for the national team again.
– I got a text from Solberg Good luck now ahead of Final Four. But I didn’t talk to him.
Was it your first text message in a long time?
– Yes, I was surprised. It was a bit of fun.
When was the last time you had any contact with Solberg?
– I don’t even remember it.
Could this be an opportunity, do you think?
– (Laughter) I don’t know. You can ask him about it. But I really want to play, like I said.
Sportbladet tried to acquire Solberg, who belongs to a kind of future national team at a camp in Playitas in the Canary Islands, but did not respond.
Did you answer the text message?
– Yes, obviously, I answered. I don’t have hard feelings for him. I’ve tried to find out what happened but I don’t have that answer. I didn’t lock the door and I hope they don’t.
Ready for the Joker
Nelson believes he has never been a better handball player this year.
– I came from the best season of my career. I also play more and more defense in Visprem.
In January, the World Cup in Sweden awaits.
It was fun to play at home in the World Cup. I have no problem being number one. I know what I can do and play for a team that often goes to Final 4. But I can come in to be the Joker. I can sit and push other guys. He says it doesn’t bother me too much.
