In the coaching staff, Mr. Carlos Ortega he managed Hannover from 2017 to 2021 and the goalkeeper coach Thomas Svensson He retired at the Rhein Neckar (2011-12), where he continued until 2014 on the staff. He also worked at Magdeburgo from 2015 until in 2021 the man from Malaga recruited him for Barça. “Magdeburg is a great team that has bothered us a lot in other circumstances and on another continent. It’s a very uncomfortable team for anyone, but beating us is also very difficult”, commented the Swede at the beginning of the week to SPORT.

In the Bundesliga 21-22, Flensburg endorsed their only two defeats against Magdeburg (29-32 with six goals from Wanne and 33-30 without goals from the Barça winger). “Magdeburg is a great team. Last year I faced them in the Bundesliga and they were champions. They get to the Final Four very well and I have the feeling that they don’t stop improving. They have been playing together for many years and they are very intense & rdquor ;, he commented to SPORT.
“We don’t have to obsess over the rival either. We are in a Final Four and the four teams are very good. I won in Cologne in my first season in Flensburg (2013-13) and I want to repeat that great experience,” added Wanne.

As for your season, the right winger emphasized that “it’s had a lot of ups and downs, but it is normal after changing everything. Now we are in the Final Four and that is the only thing that counts. Jonathan made things easier for me. It is important to have a compatriot by my side who I also already knew from the national team,” he commented.

From Lemgo came Carlsbogard and it is increasingly useful in attack after establishing itself as a defensive benchmark for Ortega. “Magdeburg is a really good team capable of controlling all facets of the game. They are good in defense, they run a lot and very well and they know how to attack statically. You have to try to stop them quickly, because if they move the ball they end up finding what they are looking for,” explained the left-back.
“We must be very careful in defense. They look for one on one all the time to score goals or to destabilize you. You have to be prepared and find the exact moment for everything, because if you relax for a second you’re dead,” added the man from Göteborg.

“Now is when I feel better in every way since I arrived at Barça. At the beginning it was difficult for me to control everything, the attacking systems, the defensive framework. I feel more comfortable in matches and I am very clear about what Carlos and the team want from me.”said the Scandinavian player.
Regarding the presence of Hampus in the team, the full-back highlighted that “he has been a great support and has made things easier for me. When everything is new, having someone like him by your side is an advantage, because we could talk about how he was doing, help us or listen to each other in our language. And he is someone who has more or less your customs,” he concluded.
