Comeback surprise: Dino Corak saves HSV Hamburg in the top game!

The handball team from Hamburg reacted to the unexpected violation of circuit runner Andreas Magaard and quickly brought back the former professional Dino Corak. The 29-year-old athlete, who had actually finished his career last summer, was equipped with a short-term contract to fill the gap caused by Magaard's failure. Corak will give its comeback this Thursday when HSV Hamburg meets the THW Kiel at 3 p.m. in the Barclays Arena.

The deal, which came as a surprise, is also due to a promise that Corak had given the new Vice President and ex-goalkeeper Jogi Bitter. "In the beginning I was unsure whether I could do it because I have a lot around my ears privately," said Corak. "But in the end my interest won, and Jogi reminded me of my promise that I gave when I said goodbye. I promised to help the team if it is possible."

Dino Corak's return to HSV Hamburg

CORAK is ready to put your personal matters in the background to help the team in this critical phase. "I have done a lot of sport lately and feel athletically fit. I am convinced that I can support the team immediately," said Corak confidently. His new contract in Hamburg applies until November because Magaard will be canceled for several weeks due to a broken finger.

It will be a special challenge for Corak, because the opponent in the DHB Cup is none other than the THW Kiel, which is considered one of the strongest handball clubs in Germany. The Hamburgers go to this duel as an outsider because they could never win against the record champions in the past (a tie and five defeats). Nevertheless, the draw from the previous year, when the game ended 28:28, remains a memory that awakens hope of another exciting game.
