Faroe Islands manager Sofus dal Chrstiansen was philosophical after seeing his side lose 23-21 to Latvia, in the first game of the Women’s Four Nation Handball tournament in Sheffield.
“A few years ago we lost to Latvia, but in the years since then they have progressed a lot quicker than us through their experiences in Europe and at the World Cup," he said.
“Going into this game and the game against Great Britain I was very excited as it gives us a chance to compare ourselves and the progression.
“Our defence was ok but our counter-attack wasn’t too good and our attack had too many technical errors. Our team spirit was very good and our goalkeepers were very good.
“Several players in attack didn’t play the way they could play and our attack was very stiff and the balance between the line players and the wing players wasn’t as good as it normally is.
“We talked about what we thought was ok and what we have to improve, I’m very excited about the match tonight as I think Turkey will be very good and tough, it will be a different way of handball more technical, more quicker, more man-to-man, more physical."
