Juniorska crnogorska ženska rukometna reprezentacija igraće večeras od 20 i 30 protiv Švedske odlučujući meč za plasman u drugu fazu Svjetskog prvenstva za igračice do 18 godina.
Potreban im je bod za prolaz dalje, a posao bi mogao da im olakša činjenica da će Šveđanke i na ovom, kao i na prethodna dva meča, protiv Alžira i Islanda, biti bez selektora.
Pontus Vard Viklund nije ni doputovao sa ekipom u Sjevernu Makedoniju, a danas je objavljeno i zašto – uhapšen je na aerodromu u Kopenhagenu.
Viklund je, naime, bio na rutinskoj kontroli prtljaga, kada je na pitanje policijaca šta ima u torbi, odgovorio:
„Bombu“.
Obezbjeđenje nije shvatilo šalu, već je odmah reagovalo, stavilo lisice na ruke Viklundu, kome nije dozvoljeno da nastavi putovanje.
Švedski rukometni savez je potvrdio pisanje „Aftonbladeta“, da je Viklund bio u aerodromskom pritvoru, te da je zbog toga suspendovan sa funkcije.
On se danas izvinio.
„Potpuno sam se izgubio i šalio se na račun nečega što nije za šalu. Izvinjavam se timu, federaciji, aerodromskom osoblju i svim ljudima koji su pogođeni. Shavatam ozbiljnost gre, who was arrested for joking about an airport bomb, explained his actions.
“For a short time, I completely lost my mind and joked about something that really shouldn’t be joked about, especially in a place like this.
I want to apologize to my national team, federation, airport staff and other people affected by this.
I realize the seriousness and idiocy of my actions. However, I am ready to accept a possible punishment, learn from it and move on,” Viklund said in a statement published by the Onnereds club.
Earlier, the Swedish national team reported that one of the coaches (his name was not called at that time) was suspended from work after the incident in Copenhagen. The airport employee asked the coach about the contents of his bag – he jokingly answered about the bomb and was detained by the police.
Viklund coaches the Swedish under-18 national team. He went with the team to the World Championship, which takes place in North Macedonia from July 30 to August 10.
