SC Magdeburg: Trainer Wiegert demands team spirit to increase the shape

The handball double winner SC Magdeburg had a challenging start to the new Bundesliga season. In her first game against HSG Wetzlar in the home arena, in front of 6600 enthusiastic spectators, the team around coach Bennet Wiegert had to catch up with 35:28 (18:16). It was a game that lived from an eventful first half in which the team horn for a long time.

It was only shortly before the half-time break Magdeburg managed to win the first two-point lead. This turn of the game required a clear announcement by the trainer Wiegert, who pointed out his players in a break that they had to work together. He explained: "The result is independent. We have too many problems with each other. Throw the way! We are here. Everyone together. And then it's good." Such reprint formulations are not the norm for the coach, and the words left a lasting impression for many, including the ARD expert Dominik Klein.

The key to the turn

In the second half, the team showed a clear increase in performance. Goalkeeper Sergey Hernandez Ferrer proved to be back and parried numerous litters, while the offensive acted much more effectively. This turn resulted in an impressive series of six goals at a time, which brought the SCM in the lead with 28:20 and ultimately laid the foundation for success.

The reactions to the game are mixed. While the fans celebrate the result, the performance in the first half is a sign of the problems that the team currently has to overcome. Wiegert's direct announcement to his players may reflect internal tensions - an indication that things behind the scenes do not run quite as smoothly as the successes in the past suggest.

The performance of the Magdeburgers is also evaluated in the context of the current Bundesliga season. The THW Kiel, the record champions, had to take a defeat, while SG Flensburg-Handewitt put on a dream start with a clear 42:28 win. In another exciting match, the Foxes Berlin win against THSV Eisenach with 41:35, which illustrates the level and competition this season.

Although SC Magdeburg was able to win, it is clear that they have to work on their dynamics and the common team spirit. The upcoming games will be crucial to see whether the Wiegerts team can implement announcements and whether they can attack the top of the Bundesliga again.
