Starligue: "Me, the best player in the world? »Wonders Sander Sagosen

In a few months, he will no longer be there. It has already been a year since Sander Sagosen has planned to join Kiel and the German championship next September. Until then, we must take advantage of the prowess of the Norwegian prodigy of 24 years who is not far from being the best player on the planet for a few months and who dreams before leaving to be champion of France, winner of the Champions League and… Olympic champion in Tokyo.

In Nantes, its runner-up, isn't PSG playing its most important match of the Starligue season?

SANDER SAGOSEN. If, insofar as we play outside against the team ranked just behind us and the only one capable of depriving us of the title of champion of France. There are only two clubs that can be crowned this season: Paris and Nantes.

If you win, will you be sure to be champion of France?

We will be 8 points ahead just nine games from the end. It will not be completely in the pocket yet, but almost ... We will just have to be careful not to commit too much nonsense then by the end of the season.

Is it a goal to end the Starligue season without any defeat?

Yes, this is one of the challenges to be met. When you play for PSG, you want to win every game and not lose any. If we succeed, our team will go down in history a little and that cannot displease us.

What have you learned from the recent European championship where Norway took third place?

It was incredible! Personally, one of the biggest competitions I have ever had. In front of my audience, my family and in the city where I grew up. We missed the little trick to be European champion but unpretentious, one day it will be our turn to win a great title.

Is the Olympic gold medal in Tokyo a daily obsession?

It's a dream and I know it can happen: Norway has the talents, the means to become an Olympic champion. There is still so much to do by then that it seems far away but it is something that is lying in the corner of my head.

Why did France fail in the first round of the Euro after a defeat against Norway?

In sport: sometimes you win, sometimes you don't, and that's what happened to the French and the Danes. Each in turn. But I am not worried about them. They will come back stronger and win again.

👊 @sandersagosen is a world-class player and deserves to be named Norway's national hero 🇳🇴👏
As he will play at home, can he get a statue built for him for brigning the trophy back home for @NORhandball? 😁🗽 pic.twitter.com/gaVAk3EQSh

Some believe that you are the best player in the world at the start of 2020 ...

Me, the best player in the world? It's nice to think so, but I don't know if everyone shares this opinion. There are so many good players everywhere. I'm just trying to do my best and my goal is not personal. It is to make my team win. Being voted “best player of the year” like Mikkel (Hansen) or Nikola (Karabatic) was not one of my priorities.

From now on, what must PSG do to win the Champions League?

Not much different from previous seasons. The priority is already to pass the 8th finals to go to the quarter and then to the Final Four. It's a competition so difficult, so long and in which you have to play better and better to go after it.

Faced with @ USCreteilHB, @Nedim_Remili & @SanderSagosen were efficient and spectacular! @LidlStarligue #PSGCRE

Why did you decide to leave Paris at the end of the season?

I'm going to leave one of the biggest teams in the world for Kiel, who plays in the biggest championship on the planet. Joining the Bundesliga has always been a dream for me. I want to try this adventure before I am too old (smile) .

Another Norwegian sportsman is currently being talked about a lot: Dortmund footballer Erling Haaland. How is it perceived in your country?

He is already considered indeed a star. Personally, I do not know it yet but it is the case of the majority of the Norwegians who discover it for 6 months. He had an extraordinarily fast trajectory. He is a young boy full of talents who impresses but who is only at the beginning of his story. He's an incredible player who amazes me.

For the PSG-Dortmund Champions League second leg match, who will you support? Your compatriot or your club?

This is a difficult question ! Usually, I always support the Norwegians but I am Parisian, member of Paris Saint-Germain therefore…
