Boson: We are not out of race yet!
Aalborg are last in Group B of the Women´s Champions League with two point from four matches. Swedish international Matilda Boson is still convinced that they have a chance in the competition. Eurohandball.com spoke to the 27-year old left winger.
Eurohandball.com: With two away matches left what do you think about your chances now?
Matilda Boson: Well, just wait and see. I think Metz as well as Hypo are opponents we can defeat.
Eurohandball.com: Why do you think you can win away to Hypo after losing by six goals at home?
Matilda Boson: I think we could have reached a much better result at home and I think we can surprise them in Vienna. Of course it will be difficult. However, we are not out of the race yet!
Eurohandball.com: It is Aalborg´s thirds Champions League campaign – and you were there in the team each time. What is it like for you this time?
Matilda Boson: I think it is fantastic! Champions League is the absolute highest level in Europe and you meet the best players. It is always great fun.
Eurohandball.com: Your team improved in the Danish league recently. Is this a benefit of the Champions League matches?
Matilda Boson: Positive experiences will always improve a team, I think. The more matches you play together, the better you become as a team. Obviously, these things are connected.
Eurohandball.com: There were many changes in the team during your time at the club. What do you think of your current team?
Matilda Boson: Our team right now consists of an ideal mixture of young talents and “old girls”! I see a lot of potential in the squad, and I hope we can qualify for the play-offs here in Denmark. I also realise that we still have quite a lot of work ahead of us.
Eurohandball.com: Your own contract with Aalborg will expire at the end of this season. What is going to happen then?
Matilda Boson: I'm not quite sure yet. We have to wait. I would not rule out that you may find me in Aalborg next season...
