Von WOM

The HSG Xentis Lipizzanerheimat had to accept a bitter defeat in the derby against HSG Graz last weekend. With 28:35, the result in the handball league Austria was clear and left faces for players and coaches. The new coach Hristo Arnaudovski and his team, who had set themselves big goals in the season, are now at the end of the table and see themselves in the relegation battle.

The aura of despair was tangible in the Bärnbacher sports hall when the players left the place after the end of the game. "With this performance we cannot play in the 1st league," explained Wolfgang Smon, the sporting director of the HSG. The analysis of your own performance was also anything but positive. The team could not convince in any phase of the game, which led to a clear demise on the field.

disappointment and failure of the service providers

The sporting director Smon said plain text: "We deservedly lost." One of the main criticism was the failure of the so -called top performers, who were behind the expectations. "Some players don't do what they are paid for," continued Smon. These words underline the urgency with which the team has to fight for a turn to avert the impending end in the league. The sporting management plans significant measures to remedy this grievance as soon as possible.

In the game itself, the early deficit was already an indicator of the misery of the West Styrians: after only five minutes it was already 0: 4. Domen Knez finally managed to break the goal barrier, but until half -time the HSG was already 19:15 behind. Despite a short spark of hope, fabricated by four goals from Mehmedovic, the players could not withstand him. The Graz defense was excellently organized in the second half and hardly allowed any goals.

The HSG Xentis was particularly able to rely on their younger talents. Players like Patrick Palmsting, who scored four goals, and Alexander Gollner, who was able to return after an injury break, offered positive approaches. However, it should be noted that their commitment was not enough to pull the rudder around for the team.

With regard to the upcoming games, it is essential that the team will find their way back to old strength as a group and individually. In view of the clear derby defeat, the HSG Xentis Lipizzanerheimat is firmly on the last place in the table and is now required to prevent the descent from the league. A look at the upcoming challenges shows that the players in the highest league have to appear differently in order not to slide into the crisis even deeper.

The news about the situation in the HSG is already widespread and the expectations of fans could hardly be higher. Those responsible are determined to turn the state of the team better. For detailed information about this development, interested readers www.meinbezirk.at view.
