On Friday the DHB team will fight against Denmark for a place in the final. t-online tells you where the game can be seen on TV.
Before the duel with the overpowering Danes, Germany’s handball players asked for divine assistance. “Maybe there’s someone up there who will take special care of us on Friday,” said left winger Rune Dahmke, looking pleadingly at the concrete ceiling of the Cologne Arena catacombs. When the German international was back to himself after his short detour into another sphere, he added hopefully: “If you have a chance of a miracle anywhere, it’s in Cologne.”
The roles before the German European Championship semi-final against the Scandinavian top team this Friday (8.30 p.m.) are clearly assigned. Denmark is Olympic runner-up, world champion, third-placed at the European Championships and the absolute top favorite for the title. The German team, which is only just making its way back to the top of the world, appears comparatively inexperienced and has less individual quality, especially across the board.
And yet: The German players believe in themselves and their chance. Playmaker Juri Knorr said: “It’s the best thing in the world to be able to play a semi-final in front of our fans.” He demanded maximum effort: “We need a special day, lots of handball ingredients as well as courage and mentality. We mustn’t appear with fear.”
