The handball players from HSV Hamburg danced for joy in a circle. Otherwise it was quiet in the dreaded arena in Balingen. 28:23 (14:11) – the promoted team celebrated the fifth win in the ninth Bundesliga game!
“We can start the return trip happy and satisfied,” said coach Torsten Jansen (44). “The boys deserve a free weekend.”
At the beginning of the season, some still believed in coincidence. It is slowly becoming clear: HSV is at the SuccessWELLER!
Captain Niklas Weller (28) was unstoppable and scored nine times. Personal record! “It’s not easy, of course,” puffed the cyclist. “I’m happy that I can show that in the top division and help the team.”
The Hamburgers played simply and patiently, and grabbed on the defensive. “It sucks to play against us. That’s a bit of our secret, ”said Weller.
By the 42nd minute, HSV Halle and opponents were under control (19:13). “Then we felt too safe and tried some dream things,” criticized Jansen.
But when HSV wobbled, the experienced Jogi Bitter (15 saves) and Casper U. Mortensen (10 goals) were there. Nicolai Theilinger made his season debut after a knee injury.
“We would have been really annoyed if we had given that up,” said the successful WELLER. Because right after the game it was ten hours back by bus. On October 31st it goes on against Melsungen.
