Playing Handball: Here's a Glimpse Into This Thrilling Sport - Magdeburg on the verge of claiming the title.
Without a doubt, SC Magdeburg's handball players still have a sliver of chance to miss out on their third German title. On Thursday (8:30 pm/Dyn), coach Bennet Wiegert and his team will tackle the last obstacle. They need merely a point to secure the championship against the eleventh-placed Rhein-Neckar Lions.
Glancing at the table affirms that the Elbe-dwellers have already qualified for the championship after their 30:28 against SC DHfK Leipzig on Sunday. With only two remaining games, the Magdeburgers have a four-point lead over Fuchse Berlin, who have already secured a Champions League position for the upcoming season. Even if Wiegert's team loses to the Lions and faces HSG Wetzlar on June 2nd, the capital city players would need to score a whopping 84 goals more than the Magdeburgers to achieve what would be a marvel in handball's history.
SC Magdeburg are on the verge of scripting history not only in German handball, but also in international circles. Following their Club World Championship and DHB Cup victories, the possibility of clinching the championship and the Final Four of the Champions League on June 8th and 9th in Cologne is still in the realm of possibility.
"It's just a tricky away match against the Rhein-Neckar Lions," said Wiegert in a conversation with "Sport Bild" (Wednesday). The presence of handball icon Uwe Gensheimer, a Loewen legend, makes the encounter even more unique. However, the 42-year-old accomplished coach understands, "that my men usually possess an innate drive to win each game. As a consequence, I don't think we'll go there and simply surrender."
