Germany is in football fever. We spoke with six coaches and officials of various sports from the Würmtal about the world Cup and the chances of the Germans.
Würmtal – The German national Handball team in the country in the current home world Cup on the head. Like twelve years ago, as the DHB-Team in Germany was world champion and the “winter’s tale” wrote, is also this time of great euphoria in the country. This also applies to the würm valley, where the HSG Würm-Mitte is a handball club is located in the high Amateur.
But also representatives of other sports types cheer these days with the national team. We have spoken with Würmtaler coaches and officials from different clubs from six different sports, and you are asked whether you want to track the world Cup and what you think of the DHB-team after the recent semi-finals now for the rest of the tournament. Not all have this time of the day to deal with Handball. But some are confident that Germany can now create also the big throw. Claus Lohmann, coach of the HSG-ladies in the third League, in addition, his expert opinion to the previous tournament history and to the opportunities in the semi-final and potential final.
The survey
Claus Lohmann, HSG Würm-Mitte (football):
+
“such A success, I would not have expected of the team, because we are busy in the back room with a world class individual players, but he is worthy of. I would not have thought that the collective works so well. Key factors of home advantage are, for me, and of course, the defense strength. The final is doable. The litter yield must be better, and the Keeper will depend on a lot of. Then, when Denmark comes, we are not a favorite. France, it works with the title.“
Michael Lelleck, SV Planegg-Krailling (football):
+
“At the 2007 world Championships, I have seen all of the games. This year, I look at least and pure, am but not in front of the TV, if I’m going to do something else. The games against Croatia and France I have seen, in the semi-finals I have no time. I don’t trust the Germans much because they are worn from the backdrop. It is similar to football: The host for large tournaments often. On a world champion, I can’t define me.“
Sven Lehmann, TV Planegg-Krailling (Volleyball):
+
“I played earlier in the state of Hesse ten years of Handball, therefore I’m generally very interested. Bitter this time, however, is: Always when Germany played, I was even in the hall. Therefore, I was able to watch a game yet live. But I will inform me about the results. I didn’t think Germany can go so far, now I would give them the title, of course. Especially cool I find that a different sport than football created a Hype in the country.“
Mathieu Jerzewski, TSV Neuried (Futsal):
+
“As a sport scientist I have been following quite a lot of sports. In this world Cup I’ve watched almost all of the German games on TV live, as well as some summaries of the Toppartien. With the semi-finals in my estimation is the minimum goal. The final is quite possible, since the crew will be beat in a top performance and frenetic support hard to come by. I’m guessing Germany or France as the champion of the world, my two Nations.“
Christopher Triep, TSV Gräfelfing (table tennis):
+
“with a preliminary round game, I’ve looked at so far, all the games with German participation. I find it exciting to see how the players push and the atmosphere in the hall felt each other noticeably. I have also thought in advance that the Team can tear a little. However, I would have thought that more of Uwe Gensheimer is the key to success. It is now the defense. Now I believe that we will be Champions. As a opponent in the final, I hope France.“
Matthias Fritsche, ESC Planegg (ice hockey):
+
“I have to admit that for me the world Cup just interested really. We are standing shortly before the Play-offs in the football League. Also, I’m a Football player, and in the American football League the NFL is also currently the Play-offs run. That’s why I didn’t get from the world Cup a lot. Generally, I think that volleyball is an attractive Sport. My brother has played for years in the Association. The look at the games.“(laughs)
