What was going on there?
Time out in the opening game of our handball players against the Netherlands (34:23). National coach Christian Prokop (41) wants to give his players possible moves on the way when he apparently does not remember the name of Timo Kastening (24).
Prokop: “And the second option is that maybe, uh, uh … what was your name?” Kastening replies with a grin: “Timo!” Prokop continues: “… can adjust.”
The right wing of second-placed Hanover-Burgdorf takes things easy, says later: “Everything has been resolved with the national coach. I have a Spanish trainer (Carlos Ortega, ed.) in my home club, which occasionally mixes up or swaps names or forgets. We are used to that in Hanover. “
However, the funny scene didn’t have much to do with forgetfulness – the national coach explains. Prokop wanted to shake his sleepy players a little more.
Prokop explains: “It was a bit trustworthy. I wanted to bring in a loose saying, bring in a little loosening up. So that the team has to react. She has. Then you told me the name. But it is very clear that it was fun. “
After all, a little bit of fun has to be at a European Championship…
