Rebirth of the mission with Michael Haas
Since the start of the season, TuS N-Lübbecke has been coached by Michael Haass (38), a player from the German team that won the 2007 World Championship. Haass worked as a coach at Bundesliga club HC Erlangen until January. The start of the ambitious relegated first division succeeded with 6: 2 points, last week the TuS established an exclamation point with 30:24 (14:12) against HC Elbflorenz. Norwegian Havard Asheim, who arrived from Swedish top club IFK Skövde in 2021, had a very important share in the home win with 19 saves. As support came Nikolas Katsigiannis from Rhein-Neckar Löwen. Lübbecke is the fourteenth station of the now 40-year-old. With Jo Gerrit Genz of ASV Hamm-Westfalen, he has signed a powerful new southpaw, TuS top scorer with seven goals against Elbflorenz. Rutger Ten Velde is also new. The left fielder comes from Ferndorf. Former Bietigheimer Sven Weßling is effective on the left half. TuS’s best pitcher so far is left fielder Tom Skroblien (11/28).
“Jule” – Once in Leipzig and back
“Sure, the win is good,” says Eulen coach Michel Abt looking back at 31:29 at SG BBM Bietigheim. However, Abt does not (yet) want to talk about the downwind from the away win. “You need a small series for that. 3: 3 points in the three away games are fine, but no more, “said the manager before appearing as a guest of the relegated Bundesliga team.
“Lübbecke has a high individual quality, plays in classic handball and has two excellent goalkeepers,” emphasizes Abbot Julius Meyer-Siebert who has returned to Ludwigshafen since the beginning of the week. The backcourt player had disappeared from the Potsdam and Bietigheim owls because he had been requested by SC DHfK Leipzig, where he was contractually bound with the rights to the first game. At 29:29 Lemgo Meyer-Siebert scored at 20:20, joined the squad at 22:23 against HSV Hamburg and 32:29 against Erlangen and played for the Saxons at 24:30 at Rhein- Neckar Löwen. Exceptional Mikael Appelgren thwarted a goal from the 22-year-old three times and once the post. “We are happy that Giulio is back. He will continue to be built with care,” explained the Abt coach, referring to the lack of pre-season training for 2.06 meters high. At the Leipzig match against Erlangen, “Jule” was able to wait impatiently for the visitors to Ludwigshafen: the Hasert family was on vacation in Leipzig, Christian Hasert and his son Nico were in the dining room. Radiant “Jule” – since the beginning of this season the “Behler Haisl” has had a second patronage alongside Enes Keskic: the number 13 – Julius Meyer-Siebert.
Take “the eighth man” with you.
“We have to be emotional from the first minute, show what it means to play in Ludwigshafen. We want to bring the Eberthalle with us from the first minute,” says Michel Abt. The fans, the eighth man, are a determining factor. Also for Jan Remmlinger, the director, who works in shifts with Pascal Bührer and Max Neuhaus. ps / bas
