the Father was european champion, it will be she hardly…
But for Line Piechnik, it may ’just’ be with in a euro-qualification match with Torben Piechniks fodboldguld in Sweden in 1992.
– It is so cool to be able to try! I’ve heard lots of history from back then, so to be allowed to stand here, even in my sport is huge.
– It was completely game to play at home in this backdrop. It was very touching, said Line Piechnik after the revival of Danish kvindelandsholds first match in the Danish halgulv since 2000.
the european championship qualifier against a strong Italian team was as expected lost, but Denmark had the great honor of the showdown and was shown that we in no way are cannon fodder.
– We prove that it is SO true that we are here, that we belong in this EM-qualification. It’s crazy, to play such a match against such a good team, said Line Piechnik after 72-82-the defeat to the Italian stars.

Among the 1543 spectators in the almost full Gentoftehallen was EM-the hero Torben Piechnik, who from the back row came the daughter’s first match on Danish ground.
– Now it is not so important, what I have tried. The important thing is what the girls are allowed to try.
And I think that it gives them so much, that they can be allowed to feel it to be at home and play so big a battle, said Torben Piechnik to the Extra Blade.
In the old days, it was him that dragged the Line in the stadium. Now the roles are reversed, but otherwise the 56-year-old former Liverpool defender is not as involved in their daughter’s career:
– She has used me, as any other will use the her parents. Line is very independent. She knows well what she can and will, so it is not anything other than normal interest. the

The laying out nodded the 29-year-old guard, who is a player in the Spanish UCAM Primafrio to.
– He supports, as all other fathers support their children. I am glad of, and so I try to carry the family name on, laughed Line Piechnik, not even getting on the score board against Italy.
The Danish team was strong adult, but managed to make it surprisingly exciting against one of Europe’s best teams and was with barely a minute and a half again only behind by four.
– It is huge, and we are closer than we thought we would be. We are so happy here is that it is possible, said Line Piechnik.
