SCM in Hamburg: “We’ll give it our all”

The coach's bench celebrates
Bennet Wiegert and the coaching team celebrate

Yesterday fan selfies in Egypt, today already on the way to Hamburg. SC Magdeburg is on the road again and is moving on to Hamburg. There, everyday life in the Daikin Handball Bundesliga is calling.

On Friday afternoon, the newly crowned bronze medal winner of the IHF Club World Championship landed in Berlin and then set off by bus in the direction of Magdeburg. There was only a short time to catch his breath after the strenuous one. Because on Saturday it goes straight on. After a training session in the GETEC Arena, the trip north is on the agenda.

“We are happy to be back in Germany. We already know the shortened preparation by now,” said SCM coach Bennet Wiegert before the game at HSV Hamburg Handball on Sunday (3 p.m.). “We have little time and a lot to do. Nevertheless, we will give it our all, as we can already assess that it will be a difficult away game. “

HSV only had to cope with the bitter end in the 2nd round of the DHB Cup on Wednesday and should be even more motivated to present themselves accordingly in their own hall. After two overtimes, Torsten Jansen’s team did not get beyond a 46-47 win against second division HC Elbflorenz in Dresden. Things haven’t been going well in the league either: With two wins, one draw and three defeats, HSV is in eleventh place.

Nevertheless, Magdeburg will not underestimate Hamburg. After all, the team is individually top-class and was able to secure the strength of shooter Nicolaj Jørgensen before the season, among others, who is currently the best scorer in the team with 39 goals and at the same time the fifth-best shooter in the league. “After the last few days, we need all the energy we need to be successful. And that’s what it’s all about now,” Wiegert emphasizes.
