Descent thriller for Dessau: Repetition game against Essen decides everything!

Descent thriller for Dessau: Repetition game against Essen decides everything!

The handball fore-called is the sign of unwanted chaos and sporting decisions that could have far-reaching consequences. The Dessau-Roßlauer HV (DRHV), who celebrated relegation last season, is now faced with an unexpected challenge. A repetition game against Tusem Essen is pending and the pressure on the team is enormous.

The repetition game was necessary because Dessau played too much on the field on April 27 during a crucial game with a man. Although the DRHV initially won the game with 28:27, Tusem Essen took a protest. This was initially dismissed, but a judgment of the Federal Court on June 12 meant that the game must now be repeated. "It is not just a question of sporting competition, but also fairness," commented managing director Sebastian Glock, who also expressed concerns about the health of his players who have not trained since last season game. Preparations for the decisive game on Sunday could not be more complicated - players had to be brought back from vacation and the coaching position has not yet been clarified.

a bitter turn for Dessau

celebrations for rescue and adoption shaped the last weeks of the DRHV. On June 8, coach Uwe Jungandreas was adopted with an emotional choreography after supervising the team for over ten years. Five players were also adopted and the club had completed the difficult season with belief in relegation. But only three days later the bitter news came that there must be a repeat game - and that could mean descent.

"After a win in Essen, even access to the DHB Cup may even be waving to the DHB, but that depends completely on us," the tusem is aggressive. A success in the game could enable food to move to ninth place. In contrast, Dessau is under pressure: In the event of a defeat, the club would relegate to the third division. And while the talks about the repeat game and the associated uncertainties also deal with sporting events, the possibility that Bayer could be saved by defeat by Dessau is becoming more and more likely.

an unequal competition?

The discussion about the sports court decision has also influenced the management levels. "We are working on optimizing the basic orders," explains HBL boss Frank Bohmann and at the same time expresses that the clubs are responsible for delays themselves. Critics accuse Bohmann that his statement does not do justice to the players who had already booked vacation. Many of them are now caught in an unpleasant binding mill in which sporty and personal planning crosses unintentionally.

It remains to be seen how the repeat game ends on weekends. While the focus is on the playful aspect, those responsible must also deal with the traumatic effects on the players and the association in general. The DRHV fights for more than just points - it's about survival in the league.
