– I think he is one of the greatest young talents in the world, and I am very happy that he is in Paris with us. He creates and brings a lot of energy, said the Serbian-born French star who has played for Paris Saint-Germain since 2015.

Sander Sagosen also came there before the season this year. And the Norwegian has impressed Karabatic.

– Sander is very physical. He is very good in attack and works a lot. He has a good attitude, a good attitude and good energy. He was an extraordinary man, said the Frenchman.

– Are you surprised he mastered the game so quickly in Paris?

– NO.

– Is Sander Sagosen the next big star?

– I think he has shown the whole world that he is already a big star. “He's not a young kid anymore, so I'm not surprised,” Karabatic said.

Tonight they will meet

The 33-year-old, 196 cm tall Nikola Karabatic has a long career behind him. Since his national team debut in 2002, he has played more than 200 matches and scored more than 1,000 goals for the national team. This has resulted in nine championship gold medals – three at the EC, four at the WC and two at the Olympics.

Sander Sagosen is only 22 years old.

Tonight, the two teammates will meet in the Golden League in Denmark. While Norway opened with a heavy defeat to the home team, France crushed Poland by 14 goals.

Then Karabatic only played 20 minutes.

– Three games in four days is a lot. “That's why we have to rotate a little,” he said.

– It wasn't an easy match. Poland is a good team with good players. They are building a new team. But on Thursday we played fantastic handball. They had no solutions against our defense and that made the game easier for us.

Sagosen appreciated the pride of the winner of nine gold medals at the international championship.

– It is funny. We have a good relationship and are looking to improve as a team and as players. “I learned a lot from him and the other players, so it's nice to hear the bragging rights,” Sagosen said.
