German team unsettled at times
Goalkeeper Andreas Wolff, who was outstanding in the first leg in Kiel last Wednesday, also remained rather inconspicuous this time. In the second half, substitute Till Klimpke came into the goal. Germany had found its way into the game relatively confidently. But despite an early three-goal lead, things got tighter after a good ten minutes: the Faroe Islands regularly found gaps in the inadequate German cover, and the DHB selection missed good opportunities at the front. And in general, the German team seemed unsettled at times by the noisy crowd in the small hall.
Hosts are running out of breath
It only got better when the strength of the hosts slowly subsided. In addition, Gislason’s team managed to exploit the increasing weak phases of the Faroe Islands more consistently. Not every throw went into the goal, but the longer the game lasted, the clearer the favorite sat down. Now it was also quieter in the hall because the own team was visibly running out of breath.
Gislason varies
Gislason now varied in defense and put second division professional Julian Köster at the top of the defensive formation. Other youngsters from his team were also used. It was the last experiments for several months. The DHB selection will only contest the first tests with a view to the World Cup in October. One thing is already certain: Gislason still has work to do.
