If this story repeats itself, it is time to breathe a sigh of relief at SG 09 Kirchhof. Like a year ago, the local handball second division team must compete at the HSG Freiburg (Saturday 6 p.m.). Like a year ago, he arrives with the mortgage of five losses in a row. Like a year ago, a new head coach is sitting on the bench.
Kirchhof / Freiburg – Martin Denk, who replaced Gernot Weiss, who in turn ushered in his mission to stay in relegation with a 24:21 success at the Dreisam at his debut at the time as Christian Denk’s successor. His successor is now hoping for a similar debut: “We have the chance here to knock the buck and get rolling again.”
The hope of “a liberation like last season” also cherishes the circle runner Jana Schaffrick, without underestimating the opponent: “The Freiburg women take advantage of every mistake According to Martin Denk, it is important to “pull it apart”. “We have to lure them out,” says the SG coach.
Particularly challenged: Mariel Beugels. The playmaker should stage both her strong “halves” Klara Schlegel and Diana Sabljak as well as the outside Hannah Kamp and Zerin Öczelik. Katharina Hufschmidt and Iva van der Linden are out, Greta Kavaliauskaite is still in rehab after her knee operation. Alternatives for the back room and the grand piano are Deborah Spatz and Lea Immelnkämper.
The Breisgauer live in the attack mainly from their first and second wave, initiated by goalkeeper Svenja Wunsch, who made the leap into the second division as a replacement for the injured Lena Wiggenhauser. “It is getting stronger and stronger,” says HSG chairman Raynald Thomm, which applies to the entire team despite the meager point yield (only one win and one draw).
HSG still without a home win
In the last game she was with the still undefeated leaders Füchse shortly before her second win of the season, but was defeated with 29:32. In addition, the dangerous playmaker Rebekka Dürr (24/10 goals) suffered a knee injury and is replaced by Kathrin Disch against Kirchhof in the middle. There are still the strong duel backcourt player Nadine Czok (40/16) and circle runner Carolin Spinner (38/14) remaining as a source of danger in the Freiburg attack on position.
The home advantage for the South Baden women was so far none. 0: 10 points is the sobering interim result in-house. No coincidence for the HSG boss. “The team lives very much from emotion and enthusiasm. We suffer all the more from the fact that it is played without an audience, ”he explains.
The tiers of the Gerhard-Graf-Sporthalle also remain empty towards the churchyard. A benefit for the guests?
