Džeko sent a message to BH handball players: Be brave, and you have already proven that you are winners!

(Patria) - "Be brave, be strong, be yourselves and enjoy, because only you know what you went through to qualify for the Euro and what you are still going through," Edin Džeko wrote in a message to the Bosnia and Herzegovina handball players, ahead of their debut at the European Championship.

"Be proud of yourselves, because everyone is already proud of you and look forward to the match against Norway. Today is your day, and you have already proven that you are winners...Good luck guys," Džeko wrote.

We remind you that today is the first match of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the schedule, against the Norwegians.

The Norwegians are absolute favorites, not only in tomorrow's match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, but they see themselves as one of the medal winners. Our national team coach Bilal Šuman is aware of this, emphasizing that his players know what kind of team they are facing, but that they will do everything to put up a worthy resistance.

The greatest danger, Šuman points out, comes from the counterattacks of the Norwegian national team. The key for our handball players, the coach states, will be to play good defense.
