DHB women before reaching the quarter-finals: a draw against Montenegro is enough!
The German women's national handball team is about to reach the historic quarter-finals of the Handball World Cup. A draw in the upcoming game against Montenegro on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. would be enough to reach the knockout phase. A win would also secure early group victory for the DHB team, regardless of the result of the subsequent game against Spain on Saturday NWZ Online reported. National coach Markus Gaugisch emphasizes the need for focused and down-to-earth performance. Ultimately, the team is aiming for its first World Cup medal since 2007.
The DHB team prevailed against the Faroe Islands with a strong performance and won this first main round game with 36:26. Captain Antje Döll in particular showed an impressive performance with six goals scored. Despite initial difficulties when they only took a two-goal lead after 17 minutes, the team eventually found their rhythm and dominated the second half. It was a clear home win in Dortmund, in front of 7,122 spectators Time describes.
Quarterfinals within reach
Another win against Montenegro would be the second in the main round and would catapult the DHB team into the quarter-finals. The best two teams in each of the four groups of six advance to the quarter-finals. The draw could benefit the German team - as group winners, Norway would probably have avoided the quarter-finals. Instead, Brazil or Sweden would be available as opponents, which could further increase the chances of a medal.
The anticipation for the game against Montenegro is great. The players know that they have to deliver a “high-end performance” in order to reach the goal of the quarter-finals. Spectators can look forward to an exciting match, while Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst will also be present and promote the Olympics. Unfortunately, a few thousand tickets remained unsold for the most recent game against the Faroese - possibly due to a parallel DFB Cup game. A passionate call to all handball fans to loudly support the team in the crucial phase!
The current performances and the positive mood in the team are impressive. The German handball players are on the right track and have a good chance of celebrating the next World Cup party like this Kicker gets to the point. It will be interesting to see how the team performs in the coming days!
