Comment: With team spirit and Confidence

The success of the German handball team at the European Championships in Poland is a result of team spirit and self-confidence, commented Tobias Oelmaier. Now it is even gold in it.

Even the Federal President, the German handball players Packed. He had the most games, and he was “impressed by the team spirit that lead to success,” declared Joachim Gauck, the newly-crowned European champion know before the awards ceremony in Krakow had begun. How much Gauck is actually in handball is familiar, is not known. But he has clearly felt what all have felt, when the young, the DHB Team played.

“We have no Chance, so we use it.” So or So similarly must the Motto of coach dagur Mongols Sigurdsson have been, him as a key player after the other fell out. Captain Uwe Gensheimer and three other family could hurt not at all involved, his Deputy, Steffen Weinhold and Rückraumspieler Christian Dissenger caught it in Hauptrundenspiel against Russia. 16 EM-Debütanen were in Poland. Carefree, fresh, hungry and confident. Their glance is always directed forward.

“A final play to win it”, posaunte Julius Kühn before the final game against Spain. Just Bold, as well as Kai Häfner, the EM until just before the semi-final from the armchair had been and short term, for the injured-nominated was. And Häfner it was, with his goal against Norway five seconds before the end of the finals at all possible.

Of course had the German handball players also luck. Almost all the games up to this 24:17 against Spain, were closely. Against Norway, it was even in the extension. Could have been because you lost, you would not complain. But to complain they had simply no desire. They wanted to win. And luck, you can also just force.

The Trend is confirmed

The success comes “not by chance”, ordered Sigurdsson Achieved after winning the title. “We have been playing since one and a half years, a good Handball.” In fact, the qualification for the world Cup 2015 was missed, only by a questionable Wildcard was allowed to the DHB any team to Qatar send. In the end, a respectable seventh place. This miracle of Poland is no accident but the result of meticulous work.

Now it is a euphoria to preserve, to channel. For two weeks, is Handball a popular sport in Germany. The ARD transfers, the return of the heroes live on television. Eight million have alone the semi-final in the TV tracks. This is a Chance: for this Sport, but also for all other sports, for the next generation. Because the EM-title of Krakow, has shown that persistence, Talent and team spirit to make many things possible. If you believe in it. And so sounds the slogan of the German Handballbundes no longer so unrealistic, which is called: “Olympic 2020”. Maybe even in Rio this summer!
