ASV Hamm-Westfalen celebrates the first test game victory against Nordhorn-Lingen

With an exciting test game against HSG Nordhorn-Lingen, ASV Hamm-Westfalen secured its first victory of the season preparation on Friday evening in the large sports hall in Dalum. The game ended with a narrow 27:26, and it was an important Moment for the team of coach Michael Hegemann. The ASV had previously had to accept two defeats and now showed that the intensely worked training content can also have an effect on the field.

In contrast to the previous games, in which the results were significantly worse, the Hamm-Westfalen fought with a better team feeling and stronger emotionality. Hegemann noticed that the players performed as a unit over the full 60 minutes and showed improvements both in defense and in gate. These progress is particularly important after the defeats against Bayer Dormagen and the TuS Ferndorf that had burdened the mood in the team.

a meeting with special focus

The duel against Nordhorn-Lingen was particularly exciting because it is the first meeting with Björn Zintel, a former ASV playmaker, who is now playing for the opponents. At the beginning of the game the tension was high and the match was long balanced. However, the Hamm-Westfalen were able to move away to 15:11 in the second half. Nevertheless, the tension remained, because Hegemann reported from a phase to impatient playing that endangered the lead.

An important factor for the tight victory was the strong performance of ASV goalkeeper Felix Hertlein, who parried a crucial seven meter of the HSG shortly before the end. This shows how crucial the goalkeeper performance is in tight games and that Hertlein could be a potential key player for the season. Hegemann also found that he used both final men, Marcos Colodeti and Hertlein, to set fresh impulses.

trainer Hegemann looks optimistic about the future

coach Michael Hegemann made a relieved manner about the first victory and emphasized the importance of such test games in order to refine the team strategies. "Of course it feels good," he said, but pointed out that it is training games and the results should not be overrated. This underlines the coach's pragmatic attitude, which has an eye on his team's long -term development process.

The analysis of the game showed that the technical error rate could be reduced compared to the previous games. Hegemann was satisfied with the fact that the players were able to better implement the content rehearsed in the training camp. This progress is a good sign for the ASV, which can now prepare for the upcoming games in the new season.

With the first victory under Hegemann in her pocket, the team can optimistically go into the next challenges. The team has proven that it is able to collapse in close situations and act as a unit. This newly gained self -confidence could prove to be crucial if the regular season begins.
