After the away win at 29:23 (17:14 halftime) in Dresden at HC Elbflorenz 2006, the next home game of the handball team Eulen Ludwigshafen will take place on Wednesday 9 November at 19:00 in the Friedrich-Ebert-Halle . There will be an exciting derby against TV Großwallstadt at the Eberthölle.
With their fourth win of the season, Eulen Ludwigshafen is 10th in the standings with 9: 7 points after 8 games and has a balanced goal difference of 234 to 234 goals.
TV Großwallstadt has played 9 games and is ninth in the second handball championship with 10: 8 points.
SportDeutschland.TV will broadcast the handball match live from 6:45 pm. Journalist Karsten Knäuper and co-commentator Thorsten Laubscher, an owl icon, have long been a perfectly tuned pair on the microphone.
A QUALITY TEAM:
TV Großwallstadt, last season as table 17. just above the line, ie almost relegated, experienced a turning point in the summer. With Saavas Saavas (ASV Hamm-Westfalen) and Tom Jansen (VfL Gummersbach), the two most successful scorers have said goodbye to the Bundesliga. “With Kammodt and Wullenweber they have two really good handball players. They have a little more of that class,” says Eulen coach Michel Abt, referring to Finn Wullenweber, who came from HSV Hamburg, and Adrian Kammlodt, who is also 1.96 meters tall and was previously under contract at Aue, describing the qualities of the special team. Both enrich the backcourt, where former Ferndorfer Simon Strakeljahn has found his place as an intermediary. “He’s good,” said Abt, also praising goalkeeper Petros Boukovinas from AEK Athens.
“VORI – THE SMALL VOLCANO”:
“Grosswallstadt is a small travel bag. They started very well, but also scored 35 goals in each of their last two games, “says coach Abt, looking back on the Großwallstadt team’s 30:35 in Potsdam and the TVG’s home defeat at 34:35 to Hagen. . Igor Vori (42) replaced Maik Handschke as coach at the start of the season in Großwallstadt. With 246 appearances, Vori is the Croatian national team record with extensive experience, including at RK Zagreb, FC Barcelona and Paris St. Germain. Defense specialist Vori played for HSV Hamburg for four years and was reactivated as an emergency aide for three months by Füchsen Berlin in March 2022. The Croatian scored 442 goals in 140 Bundesliga appearances. “Vori, that’s a little volcano. He creates a lot of atmosphere in Großwallstadt and is very emotional. He relies on a 5: 1 defense and with his style he certainly manages to bring a lot of professionalism to Großwallstadt “, says Michel Abt.
OWLS RIP OFF:
The owls recently celebrated a surprisingly clear away victory against HC Elbflorenz 2006 in Dresden with 29:23 (17:14). “One is annoyed that it’s become tight again. This is due to the evaluation of chances “, explains the coach as it happened that after the advantage of 13: 5, the scoreboard was only 15:13 at times. After the break of four goals, nothing happened: the Owls they won with six. Abt: “We then played it robbed in the style of an experienced team and made the important saves at the right time.”
“GOOD IT’S HERE”:
“If someone had told us in advance that we would have won in Dresden by a margin of six goals, we would have all been happy to sign him,” said Sergey Gorpishin, who was signed after Christian Klimek’s injury. “It is good that he is here. He gives Max Haider recovery phases and therefore also has his share of victories,” says Michel Abt praising the line runner, who already gave a short guest performance in Ludwigshafen at the end of 2020.
FAMILY DELIGHTED BY THE CLIMATE OF THE OWL:
When his father came to TSG Friesenheim as a professional in 2003, Sergey was only six and attended nursery school at Ebertpark in Ludwigshafen. “I still have a photo of when my father came to pick me up in kindergarten,” says Sergey with a smile. Dad – this is Vyacheslav Gorpishin. The two-meter man embodied world class in his prime, played 270 times in the national team, won Olympic gold with the Russian team in 1992 and 2000 and Olympic silver in 1994. defense, who played in Germany alongside TSG for HC Erlangen, SG Leutershauen, Eintracht Hildesheim and HF Springe, became vice world champion with Russia in 1999. In Eulen’s last home game against Hagen, his parents of Sergey and his girlfriend, who studies in Halle an der Saale, were in the Friedrich-Ebert-Halle. “They were thrilled with the atmosphere, the atmosphere in the lobby. My dad said he’s great, he’s still as familiar as he was then, “says Sergey, whose girlfriend immediately felt comfortable with the team and other players’ wives and girlfriends after the home win.” Here you can see that you can work professionally and that there is also human harmony “, enthuses Sergey Gorpishin about the great atmosphere.
SUCCESSFUL CRASH COURSE:
“I am extremely satisfied. I am well integrated into the team and feel I can help. It is going well, but I would have liked to spare us the defeat in Coburg,” said Sergey Gorpishin, who started in a draw in Potsdam. Arrived only after the preparation, after leaving CSKA Moscow in May without training, the pivot admits that he still has to work to improve his physique. “It’s been a bit of a crash course to adapt from now on, as Remmlinger alludes, like Eisel. It takes time, but he’s getting better and better,” says the two-meter-tall club player, who has practically inherited the number 15 from his father. “It’s also about better communication in the game,” says the 25-year-old. It is amazing that he now knows how to conduct loudly in the inner block during training. Now is the time to successfully solve the tasks against TV Großwallstadt. “We have the means to be able to be successful against any opponent,” says Gorpishin, who goes “very well” with colleague Max Haider. “Max also picked me up at the train station when I got to the test training session,” says Erlangen-born Gorpishin, emphasizing the good relationship with the captain.
