Handball, Oberliga women: HC TuRa Bergkamen – SG Halden-Herbeck (Sat. 7 p.m., Friedrichsberg sports hall, Albert-Schweitzer-Straße in Bergkamen). From Saturday there will only be finals for the TuRa women. This applies to the last game of the preliminary round against Halden-Herbeck as well as to the subsequent relegation round. You need wins to stay in class.
TuRa trainer Andre Brandt also knows how to do this. “What we need to do better than in the last few games is improve the completion rate.” A shortcoming recently against Riemke, also in the game against Königsborn over long stretches. “We have to use the chances that we create well in the game,” he said. “The completion rate must be increased significantly. Then we’ll win clearly against Halden, we’ll be able to turn the mortgage from the first leg down by six goals and also win the direct comparison. If we can do that, we’ll go into the relegation round with 5:7 points. That would be okay, even if we wished for more, but then we would improve our starting position and would still have everything in our own hands.”
In terms of play, the Bergkamen coach sees fewer deficits. “That’s mostly fine.” His guidelines: “We have to turn our heads more, concentrate more, then it could work with a better finish. They’re all girls who can play handball. They also know where the goal is and how to put the ball in. We also had games where we had really good odds. We must get there again. Get that confidence back.”
Fortunately, Vanessa Rohlf’s knee injury didn’t turn out to be too bad. She was already able to train easily again. Brandt: “I’m assuming she’ll be back.” Carina Neumann, Viktoria Wolff and Dana Misiok are missing. Goalkeeper Vivien Montag will step in again for this.
