DHB team with a big challenge: Handball World Cup starts soon!
The German national handball team is facing the 2025 World Cup, which takes place in Denmark, Croatia and Norway from January 14 to February 2. For the team of national coach Alfred Gislason, expectations are high after getting the silver medal at the home European Championships to the semi-finals and then at the Olympic Games in Paris last year. "We will only see what's inside in the course of the tournament," explains back room player Nils Lichtlein, who hopes to play an important role in the team. Before the tournament, however, some of the performance weaknesses in two test games against Brazil were visible, in which Germany narrowly won, which Gislason worried. The offensive often seemed uncoordinated and the defensive left a lot to be desired, which made the players on alert, how Lichtin informed, which is considered a talent.
The squad and first games
The squad of the DHB selection includes 19 players, including twelve heroes of Olympia. The remarkable absences include the painful cancellation of Jannik Kohlbacher and Sebastian Heymann. Tim Zechel and Lukas Stutzke take their places. Gislason sees his team as a co -favorite on the title and describes the current compilation as balanced. The preliminary round will be held in Herning, Denish, where Germany meets Poland in the first game. This game is considered particularly tricky, including because Poland is considered a strong team. An increase in services is urgently expected to keep the chance of a medal in the tournament.
Lichtlein, who shines with a strong season at the Füchsen Berlin, explained that he was ready to set accents and put his teammates in position. "My personal claim is that I can also set accents," said the 22-year-old about his ambitions in the World Cup. Their group also includes Switzerland and the Czech Republic, with three of the four teams climbing into the main round. The German team will do everything possible to finally fight for the title in this World Cup, which was recently won 18 years ago, reported rbb24
