Mannheim --

Then roused himself to his troops, made the 17:14-half-time in Mannheim, still a little befitting 34:22.
Captain Michael Kraus had an understanding of brands response: "We knew that we have - excuse played - a shit. And he is always with heart and everything he has. He lives handball. It is quite natural that it also freaks out there again. "Even fire itself defending its Ausraster:" If that does not make a coach, he can retire. And compared to some of Bundesliga coaches, I am still calm. "
The 57-year-old is now set for the European Championship, which for the German handball on 19 January in Innsbruck with the game against Poland will start on the return of passion: "We can only play well if we show 100 percent commitment and will. I hope that the team has learned from this game. "

He booted from champion Dominik Klein (Kiel), called for him outside left Uwe Gensheimer (Rhein-Neckar Löwen) into the squad for the 19th EM (- 31.1.) In Austria. The 23-year-old had taken ten times against Brazil. Brand: "Dominic always displays a wholly-motivation, but for now he just does not find his form."
