HSG Ostsee handball players facing a difficult fox hunt

The third division handball players of the HSG Ostsee have conquered the sixth place in the table for early relegation with the 27:26 at DHK Flensborg, at the fifth Foxes Berlin II, for which seven U20 national players play, they have the chance on Saturday (6 p.m.). to leave the people of Reinickendorf behind.

The Berliners have been unbeaten since October 16 and have scored 14:4 points in the last nine games. “The aim of the young foxes is clearly to stay up in the league. In addition, Aaron Zierke, as the new coach, has left his mark on the team. We have to be awake for 60 minutes and show commitment and motivation,” explains Frank Barthel, Sporting Director of the HSG.

“Even in Berlin everything is possible”

A very interesting game is on the agenda for coach Jens Häusler: “Berlin has continued to gain momentum, we lost ours a bit. We have to improve our switching game and get more depth in attack,” Häusler wants to avoid playing across the opponent’s cover. The 29:23 in the first leg, when Zierke had just taken over the foxes, is not the benchmark for Häusler. “The Berliners are a very young and very well-trained team of talents who constantly and very professionally work on their performance with a high volume of training. They didn’t get off to the best possible start at the beginning of the season, but found their way relatively quickly and are therefore one place above us for good reason. We have to try to get a grip on the individual strengths of the hosts, then anything is possible in Berlin,” says Häusler.
