Drama in the arena: DHB women miss a surprise against Denmark

The German women's handball team is under pressure after a dramatic game against Denmark. Although the DHB selection showed a committed performance, the game against the World Cup third ended with 27:28 and left the players at a loss. This was already the third defeat in the tournament, which reduced the hope of the quarter -finals.

The importance of the upcoming games

Before the German handball players compete against the European champions Norway on Friday, they have to develop a plan to take advantage of the remaining opportunities. With just 2: 6 points, a victory against Norway could open the door to the knockout phase, but the team of national coach Markus Gaugisch has to achieve at least fourth place in the group phase, which increases the probability of having to compete against France in the quarterfinals.

A dramatic duel

A crucial moment of the game was the last litter of Jenny Behrend, who was the best German thrower with her six goals. But shortly before the end, she failed due to the Danish goalkeeper, which caused great disappointment. "I'm broken, disappointed and annoyed by my last chance," explained Behrend after the encounter.

Challenges in attack

The DHB women started the game strongly and were initially able to work out a lead. But in the course of the game there were weaknesses in the attack, especially when finding gaps in Danish defense. The players had difficulty putting pressure on the opposing goal, while the performance of goalkeeper Katharina Filter did not convince in the first half.

A feeling of arrival

Despite the defeat, the co-captain Emily Bölk remains optimistic: "We have the feeling that we have arrived in the tournament. If we continue to play in this way, we deserve to be launched in the quarterfinals." This feeling could be crucial for the German team to call up their potential in the remaining games.

Conclusion and Outlook

The upcoming games will be of crucial importance for the DHB women. With another setback based on the game against Denmark, a lot is at stake. How the team will react in the next few days is of the greatest importance for the future of German handball - with regard to possible success in this tournament and the development of the entire team for upcoming challenges.
