MVP of the World Championship 2019, Mikkel Hansen, said in an interview for politiken.dk, that he thinks about missing the next World Championship 2021 in Egypt.
The 30-years old left back of Paris Saint Germain, who had the key role in Danish success at World Championship 2019 in Herning last January, knows how tough will be the next 12 months with EURO 2020 and Olympic tournament in Tokyo next August.
Idea is to keep his body for the upcoming years in proffesional handball.
- As a starting point, I always want to prioritize playing for the national team, as it is a great honor to represent Denmark. But it is obviously also about how I feel physically and mentally during that time after a long season with PSG, the European Championships and the Olympics and thus almost no vacation at all, says Mikael Hansen to politiken.dk .
Mikkel Hansen was a part of #DontPlayThePlayers campaign among other TOP stars in handball world.
FINALLY – Players raise up their voice in campaign #DontPlayThePlayers
