Reflection in view: Dessau-Roßlau against Tusem Essen crucial!

Dessau-Roßlau, Deutschland - This next Sunday the time has finally come: The Handball second division club Dessau-Roßlauer HV meets in the crucial match for relegation to TuSem Essen. The game begins at 5 p.m. and could not be more important for the team of coach Jörg Ludwig. In order to continue playing in the league in the coming year, Dessau-Roßlau needs at least one draw. So the tension could hardly be higher.

The team can rely on the short-term release of Fritz-Leon Haake, which is available again after the placement game of the U21 World Cup against Norway (33:28). His colleague Felix Göttler will also be there after they both experienced departure on Thursday in the quarter -finals against Sweden (26:32). This game was the end of the medal dreams for the German juniors after they had mastered the group phase unbeaten.

fight for relegation

The exemption from Haake and Göttler was a bit surprising, because both players performed well during the tournament. Ingo Meckes, the board of directors of the German Handball Association, was full of praise for the U21 national team and their commitment. In addition, the last placement game takes place in Katowitz against Egypt on Sunday, in which Germany is fighting for fifth place.

The stinging was particularly out of the end, who went to the tournament with 40 parades, followed by Frederik Höler, who caused a sensation with seven meters. But the joy of the sporting success is clouded by the injuries of certain players. Magnus Grupe, a key player on the U21, had to fit on the Achilles tendon due to a muscle tear. National coach Martin Heuberger reported that this was a severe setback for the team and ordered Florian Scheerer as a replacement.

gaming results and statistics

Overall, the German U21 team achieved a respectable performance in the World Cup, considering that they had already occupied places in the top five. In addition to the remarkable achievements of Buchele and Höler, there are also numerous players who have scored their goals. Jan Schmidt, for example, shone with 26 goals, including ten against Serbia, and is now undisputed number one in the circle.

But while some players want to find a worthy conclusion, Haake and Göttler have to pack their suitcases and back to their clubs to play against food. The pressure is heavy on the shoulders of the Dessau-Roßlauer, who will do everything possible to secure the relegation, and the support of the fans could be decisive.

Such a scenario requires a high level of willingness to perform and team spirit, and the coming days will show whether the Dessau-Roßlauer HV can steer the rudder in the right direction.
