Ice hockey: women from Hannover 78 on the “last groove” against Eintracht Braunschweig

78 coach Michaela Scheibe has to do without players in the neighborhood duel. The men from DTV should be in a good mood again and at the DHC they want to distribute their energy well: That’s what happens with Hanover’s hockey teams.
Hanover. “It’s as quick as a home game,” says hockey coach Michaela Scheibe. On Saturday they have to play at Eintracht Braunschweig at 3 p.m. with their second division promoted women from Hannover 78. Otherwise it goes to Cologne, Krefeld or Hamburg. “The game in Braunschweig is really next door,” she says. And also a game with a derby character? Not for her. “I go there without emotion – at least as far as the opponent is concerned,” says Scheibe.
But she sees her team as an outsider. Because Eintracht is a well-established second division team, have received two reinforcements from Hamburg and Argentina and play very fast. Last week, Eintracht managed to do what the Hanoverians hadn’t managed to do one day and had to accept a 0-1 draw in Cologne in a convincing 2-0 win at BW Köln. The failures of Merle Trütken, Luisa Bleischwitz and Pina Huep are inconvenient. “This is already the last groove. We’re outsiders, but then you can start in a more relaxed manner,” says Scheibe.
