Wednesday is Vilde Bøe Risa’s turn. He was celebrated on his 27th birthday two days after taking part in the big loss against England.
– It’s a bit special to celebrate birthdays at national team gatherings, but it’s really fun to celebrate with the girls. This is a group I enjoy being with. It’s fun, he told NTB.
Sophie Román Haug (23), Maria Thorisdottir (29), Anja Snstevold (30) and Elisabeth Terland (21) had birthdays during the European Championships. Since the European Championships began, Ada Hegerberg and Bøe Risa have turned 27 at three-day intervals. Saturday is Frida Maanum’s turn. In the previous European Championship, he played from scratch against the Netherlands on his 18th birthday, this time he is 23 years old after the decisive match against Austria.
– It’s always fun with birthdays. It will be nothing more than singing and you give a little extra value to the person changing it. There will be some hugs, says Maanum.
Always
Celin Bizet Ildhusøy points out that there are a lot of birthdays in the support system as well.
– It’s birthdays almost every day, really. We other people who didn’t become one during the European Championships also got a bit of a birthday feeling. It’s going to be a little nice to eat, a little soda and such. It’s pretty cool, he said.
– It’s very broken in camp life.
Karina Sævik revealed that there are also some gifts for those who are one year old.
– There is no fixed routine, but there will be some attention. It’s not us the players who control it, but the supporting apparatus, he said.
Present
Maria Thorisdottir missed it. He turned the year right after the start-up European Championship for England professionals with an early end to the season, but then there were plenty of days off between training sessions.
– There will be songs and cakes for those who become one when we are together, but I’m at home, he said.
The last person to celebrate his birthday during the European Championships was Guro Reiten, but he won’t be 28 to 26 July. Norway will have to reach the semifinals so he can be celebrated by his national team mates when the squad is assembled.
If Norway goes that far, and fulfills its ambitious goal of winning a medal, the games will be played day in and day out. And then the gift might already be in the box.
