Let’s move on! The historic victory in Barcelona has not yet been realized, and the next task is already imminent: Away at HC Erlangen in Nuremberg.

There was not much time to celebrate. The final whistle was blown at the Palau Blaugrana at half past eleven, dinner was served at the nearby hotel around midnight and breakfast was ready at 10 a.m. – including video preparation for the next opponent.

“I haven’t experienced that in nine years. We have no practical unit, but only prepare theoretically. There is no other way in terms of organisation,” says coach Bennet Wiegert, who made his way to Nuremberg with his team at noon, where the game in the Daikin Handball Bundesliga will kick off at 6 p.m. on Saturday.

But the 43-year-old wrests something positive from the challenge: “It’s awesome, it’s a challenge. I’m always open and enthusiastic about something new, even if I would of course like to give the players more regeneration time – especially for the head.”

So there will be the next tactical introduction for the Franconians in the evening. In any case, the team around coach Johannes Sellin should not be underestimated. After a draw against MT Melsungen, a narrow defeat against Frisch Auf! Göppingen and a win against Bergischer HC, HCE will play at home with a broad chest.
