The national coach has the gold plan in mind, the players have the title desire in the heart – and even the Chancellor fingers crossed: With a healthy dose of self-confidence and great pleasure to their first European Championship final fever Dagur Sigurdsson and his youngster the peak of European counter. Before the final, this Sunday (17.30 clock / ARD) in Kraków declared the German handball team opponents Spain, although the favorites, but they are convinced of their chance to win.

“Everyone wants to realize his dream. Now you’re close before, now you can take the title and qualify for the Olympics. These are all things of which you are dreaming,” said veteran goalkeeper Carsten Lichtlein on Saturday.

And Kai Häfner, the day before the decisive goal to 34: had 33-win mark Overtime in the semifinal against Norway, announced briskly: “This is a final that we want to win. So you go purely into this game. “

Angela Merkel phoned Sigurdsson

On the day between the semifinals and finals also Chancellor Angela Merkel revealed her handball enthusiasm. “The German team has swept us on their way through the tournament with their passion and fighting spirit. For the final I hit with millions of fans the thumbs,” the prime minister said in a telephone conversation with Sigurdsson. “The Call of the Chancellor makes us proud. I am sure that we have also gained Angela Merkel as a fan,” said the Icelander.

Six wins Streak the German handball team celebrated – and now even a bill with the Spaniards openly, against which they have conceded to EM-opener with 29:32 the only defeat. “We have the first game lost due to the lack of experience that we had to have. Of course, we have not completely caught up. But we now know how to play a Euro,” said goalkeeper Andreas Wolff.

Sigurdsson had meanwhile already decided to use his master plan for the final. “The tactics of our side is clear. But I will not tell now,” the coach said with a grin. As usual, he warned against the experience and routine of the Iberians, who would punish mistakes ruthlessly. But he is convinced that his team has learned from the opening defeat and therefore can win. “I have a good feeling. It is also this lightness that you can see the end,” said Sigurdsson.

blur the protest of Norwegians

It just depended the success in the semi-finals by a thread. Norway had lodged a protest against the 34:33 (27:27, 14:13), because a few seconds were too many German on the floor before the final whistle. Only about twelve hours after the game, the victory was unequivocally determined because the Norwegians withdrew its objection. “I’m glad that this nonsense is over. Now we are looking forward just yet on the final against Spain. Germany is again on Sunday handball passion experience,” said Bob Hanning, Vice President Competitive Sports in German Handball Federation.

After the cramped appearance of his team in the semifinals promised the coach that the team in the final again dissolved and so unconcerned as to act in the group matches will be. “I can promise that will be gone. I know just enough. And we are better Handball play on Sunday,” said the Icelander.
