The Portuguese are considered the likely German opponent, since they are currently leading the group and as a high -rise favorite into the last duel with the Chilenen, which so far are pointless in the last place in the table. The German team itself is already preparing for a duel with Portugal. “A very exciting opponent who showed good development year after year and that we are very excited about,” said Uščins on Saturday. “If you knock out the Swedes and Spaniards, you have to have a lot of quality,” the 22-year-old continued.
National coach Gislason hit a similar notch: “It is a very interesting team and they play the whole tournament very well,” he said. “When you see what teams all have left behind, it says a lot about them,” said the national coach.
If the German handball players survive the duel against Portugal, the semi -finals will see a reunion with Denmark. Then, after the clear defeats in the Olympic final of the past year and in the World Cup, a victory for the final.
