Karsten Schäfer: “Congratulations to the HSG, they did very well today and in the end they deserved to win. We expected that Wetzlar would face a difficult task in defense, play long attacks and many of us would have to defend one on one in order to be able to play a good game here. We managed to do that for a long time in the attacks, but then too often we didn’t. We found good solutions in attack, but then too often failed due to a very good Ivanisevic. We also lacked a bit of pressure from the backcourt today, we weren’t dangerous enough today. All in all, it was a deserved victory for Wetzlar today. “
Kai Wandschneider: “First of all, I would like to convey well-being wishes to Jürgen Schweikardt. I am very proud of our team today. We have had to deal with two defeats recently and we know that if we want to end up in midfield in this league, we have to keep delivering points. We presented ourselves as a real team today. We went through fire for each other and fought with each other. Big compliment to Tibor, who was a huge support for us. From my point of view, we could have gone into the break with a slightly higher lead in the first half. But the Stuttgart cover did very well against us in the first half. We then got out of the break great. At the front we played our attacks well and we did well in defense. So we have to continue in the next few weeks and keep adding different players in order to be able to distribute the forces over 60 minutes. Stuttgart has developed very well in recent years and is currently playing great handball. So we’re really proud that we won this game today. “
Dominik White: “We can’t be happy with our game today. I think we didn’t do what we set out to do overall. We defended well for a long time, but it was clear to us that Wetzlar would play it cleverly and play the balls long. We then felt like we were in defense for two minutes and then still got a goal in the end. In the attack we were actually patient at the beginning and waited for our chances, played them out, but then too often didn’t finish successfully. That’s where the key lies today, and accordingly we have to improve in the next game. “
