The MT Melsungen is probably playing its last chance against Lemgo to participate in the Champions League. Captain Timo Kastening becomes clear afterwards.

The hope was back for a short moment, but it smashed on the crossbar. Daini’s Kristopans had taken a heart twenty seconds before the end and made the ball on the goal – instead of the net, he only went on the crossbeam, the MT Melsungen had to With a 26:26 draw against TBV Lemgo Lippe be satisfied.

The first half was the first half from the MT perspective. With 11:16 the Northern Hesse were left behind – to the trouble of captain Timo Kastening. “The attitude to the game did not fit in large parts of the team at all. Each player was a bit trotted across the pitch and thought that we could get it,” he complained to Dyn after the game. “And then we flew on the snout and had to fight really hard back into the game.”

Parrondo will be loud in the half -time

This also brought coach Roberto Garcia Parrondo to the palm. Already during a break in the first round he got loud. This apparently continued in the cabin. “Roberto once freaked out and dipped us together,” said Kastening.

This was born and got the MT back on track. Very slowly, she nibbled away with the loud Rothenbach hall behind the gap before Kristopan gave a chance to win. For Kastening, the point win was “probably happy”.

Championship and Champions League probably passé

But above all, the point gain was one: too little. Because Magdeburg won confidently against Flensburg-Handewitt in parallel, There is two points and 44 goals behind the SCM before the last match day. If the foxes Berlin do not allow themselves against Gummersbach on Thursday, the chances of the Champions League entry are Passé. The championship chance is already only a very theoretical.

“Chapeau to these two teams that tear off one season like this,” said Kastening in the direction of Magdeburg and Berlin. “If there is anything else to get for us, we try to be there. But that was probably over.” At the end of the season, the MT Melsungen on Sunday (3 p.m.) has to go to the bottom of Potsdam.
