Cloppenburg's handball hope: surprise against Grossenheidorn?

Cloppenburg, Deutschland - The TV Cloppenburg faces a gigantic challenge! The team of coach Janik Köhler will meet MTV Grossenheidorn on Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m. This encounter promises pure excitement, because the Cloppenburger, which are currently in the penultimate place of the handball regional league, urgently need a victory. Last year they fought with Grossenheidorn for promotion to the third division, but now the world looks very different. Köhler is combative and hopes that the support of the domestic hall could make the decisive difference.

The Cloppenburger prepared intensively for the game, especially through video studies of the last encounters from Großenheidorn. The MTV is known for its fast handball, which leads to dangerous tempo counterattacks in the event of careless attacks by the opponents. Köhler emphasizes that discipline and a strong defensive performance will be decisive to slow down the favorite's attack. The TVDH Oldenburg has already shown that Grossenheidorn can be beaten by creating a 24:21 win with a solid defense and patient attack game.

personnel worries and opportunities

Not only the tactical preparation is worried to the TVC. Some players could be missing on Saturday. Gijs de Laater and Daniel Sharnikau were recently sick, and Michael Schröder could not train for private reasons. Kevin Heemann also plagues a thigh injury. Despite these challenges, Köhler sees the game as an opportunity. A victory against MTV Grossenheidorn could be the urgently needed departure after a personnel upheaval and a drop in performance. The Cloppenburgers have to appear energetic, dynamic, but also disciplined in order to be successful. Because one thing is clear: as a hot spur you will probably not win against Grossenheidorn.
