Germany will get it in its second game at the European Championship in Croatia with Slovenia to do (18.10 o’ clock in the LIVETICKER). Playmaker Miha Zarabec must be kept under control.
“It will be important not to let him come into play. Otherwise he can shake out any defence,”said Patrick Wiencek. The circuit runner knows Zarabec very well, after all they both play together at THW Kiel.
However, Wiencek also knows that the filigree Slovene doesn’t like to be attacked so much if it is approached violently. That’s why the Duisburg native said:”We have to stop him with harshness.”
In general, the Slovenes seem to be in the hands of the Germans. 15 times the DHB selection met in compulsory matches on the World Cup third round of 2017,14 times Germany came off the field as the winner. Slovenia scored a draw only once.
Zarabec and his teammates, who lost their opening game 24:25 against Macedonia, are eager to finish the series:”He told me that it’s time to finally beat Germany,”reported DHB goalkeeper Andreas Wolff.
