Again no coin: German handballers hook out world lit - Olympic village
After a short night with little sleep, the German handballers left almost neck over head and without the hoped for medal the Olympic village in Tokyo. Already on Wednesday afternoon (local time), National coach Alfred Gislason sat and his deep-disappointed proteins in the aircraft gene home - the mood on board should have been frosty after the hearing 26: 31 bankruptcy in the quarterfinals against Egypt. "We did not reach our target semi-finals. That's already disappointing," Gislason said just before the departure.
Even with the sixth major event since Olympic Bronze 2016 in Rio, the DHB selection was empty. Although the world tip is not far away, but for several years just unattainable. "We will put together and analyze what it lacks to dress up at the top. What is missing to tickle the optimal performance," DHB sports board Axel Kromer announced an intensive work-up of the tournament.
Gislason: "Many players were leached"
Once again, the German team remained under their possibilities - for which there are many reasons. After a monster season in the Bundesliga with 38 matchdays, the national coach missed the time for optimal preparation and players in the decisive moment the power. "We want to succeed, but we do not have time to work on it. And you have seen some players have played a lot and were a bit out of a bit," Gislason said, adding resigning: "I have it ten years ago abandoned to complain about too many games. "
In addition, for years, individual disadvantages in the starting game, where the top nations are much more occupied. "We have significantly less throwing force from the back space than the other teams," gislason acknowledged. And then there is still the mental component. "We have top players, but sometimes doing hard to perform in the national team," Kromer said.

To which belonged in Tokyo once more Captain Uwe Gensheimer. The left outside spent much more time on the bench than on the parquet and was not a factor in the German game. "From Captain Uwe Gensheimer I would certainly have wanted more assertiveness, but also more use times," said ex-national coach Heiner Brand in the Sport1 interview.
Brand sees no crisis
In the crisis, the 69-year-old, who had led the DHB selection in 2007 to the World Cup triumph, does not do the German handball despite the early failure. "He's certainly not up to the top, you can say that for the last results. But he is still in the top," said fire. However, "One must already worry and analyze the reasons for the missing results at the past tournaments."
That's exactly what Gislason and Kromer have in the coming weeks. "We will discuss internally, which ways we can go," said the sports board. After all, the European Championship in Hungary and Slovakia stands again in five months. "Now we have to set ourselves new goals," said DHB board leader Mark Schober.
No cup of staff
A personnel turf does not expect Gislason. "It's hard to tell how the future of the team looks like. But there are no people who could say that they would have to stop directly," emphasized the national coach.
Similarly, DHB vice president Bob Hanning the situation: "I can not imagine that we will play in the same occupation in the next few years. But I believe that the scaffolding of this team stays." First, the national players go to a short holiday, marriage in four weeks again the new Bundesliga season begins. The terminal speed continues without a long breath.
