“We cannot say that we are disappointed after this match because we have new players who have yet to integrate, analyzes Yann Hoffmann. We’ve only had a week of training together so far, it’s too short for a former team. But I am sure that with a little time the results will improve. It’s nice to play here. This is the first time, even though I have been playing handball for 25 years. ”
