Stockchläder and Grijseels accurable

Best German Werferin in front of 50 spectators in Almere were Johanna Stock Sockets with six and Alina Grijseels with five hits. "It was fun. If the hall had been full, it would have been even better," said Gaugisch. The game took place in the Netherlands after Belarus had been suspended from the European Association EHF from the qualification group 3. Subsequently, Germany, Greece and the Netherlands agreed to carry out the remaining qualifiers in Almere. The Greeks renounced their home right.

But you would not have had a chance at home. Technically, tactical, physical - the DHB selection was superior to the even replacement opponent in all matters. Gaugian wanted to see a sovereign defense power of his team among other things. In the early minutes, it still haperted here. But when the Greeks came to chances, the strong goalkeeper Isabell roamed the litters.

Greek no gauge

The longer the game took, the more the outsiders built also conditionally. Even the first leg last October gave Germany loose with 36:10. Also now Captain Grijseels, Xenia Smits or Antje Lauenroth used almost every gap. And the gaps were getting bigger. "We have implemented what we have made. We wanted to play a good coverage and achieve simple gates, that succeeded," Grijseels said.

That the game would not be a degree knife for its own strength, Gaugisch knew before. Accordingly, he acted in his first national coach insert on the side edge and in the breaks. Why the DHB selection is really capable, it should only show on Saturday (16.00 clock). Then there is another test match in Almere against the Netherlands. The Oranje team is after all Olympia fifth and had won both quality games against Germany.
