The German volleyball players are threatened with an early end at the World Cup in Poland and Slovenia.
The team of the Polish national coach Michal Winiarski had no chance at 0:3 (16:25, 22:25, 17:25) in the last group game against the highly concentrated Vice European Champion Slovenia.
After the second bankruptcy in the third game, the Germans no longer have progress in their own hands and must hope for the help of the competition, which will only be in action on Wednesday. Linus Weber was the best German attacker with eight points.
Defeat against France, victory against Cameroon
Winiarski’s team had previously lost against Olympic champions France (0-3) and then won against outsiders Cameroon (3-0). She finishes Group D third. Only the first two teams in each group and the four best third-placed teams advance to the round of 16.
pressure and uncertainty
In front of around 12,000 loud fans, the newly formed Germans were unsettled at first. Because the attacking power of the hosts was so overwhelming, Winiarski made an early change: Tobias Brand, Jan Zimmermann and Weber got shares of the game. A service error by Moritz Karlitzek sealed the loss of the opening section.
The Slovenians also acted consistently in the episode and pulled away to 20:13 and also got the second round. In the third section, another mistake made the German bankruptcy perfect.
