TSV Hannover-Burgdorf: Max Gerbl dismantled Leipzig | Sports
Hanover’s handball champions started the new Bundesliga season with a lot of euphoria. With seven newcomers they want to make the last season (13th place) forgotten. That was for that 25:22 against Leipzig the right cheer opener.
Gerbl dismantled Leipzig
The mood after the final siren was good. “It’s great fun to experience this team every day,” said right winger Max Gerbl (27) on the Sky-Micro.
The newcomer from Schaffhausen, who replaces Johan Hansen (28/move to Flensburg), was the top marksman in his Bundesliga debut with seven stalls.
“We wanted to play the game broadly, over the flanks and over the circle,” Gerbl explained the tactics. Worked especially well in the first half. The new warriors play with a lot of speed, unselfishly looking for the free neighbor. Left winger Hannes Feise (6 goals) also benefited from this.
So the victory for coach Christian Prokop, who had to do without captain Marius Steinhauser (muscular problems), Branko Vujovic (thigh), Filip Kuzmanovski (infection), Bastian Roschek (internal ligament tear) and Martin Hanne (intervertebral disc), was never in danger .
With the first success in hand, Hannover will continue next Wednesday, then at Bergisches HC (7.05 p.m., Sky).
