1/12/19 5:03 PM Today, the relationship between the handball players playing in the home country and those doing it abroad has reversed. Only three players from the squad of coach Washington Nunes earn their money in Brazil. The rest is played in France, Spain, Poland or Turkey. 1/12/19 5:02 PM Brazil's handball has been going on in recent years. When Germany and Brazil played against each other at the 2007 World Cup, there was only one legionnaire in the South American squad: Renato Rui was called, and he played for Wilhelmshaven in the Bundesliga. 1/12/19 5:02 PM "It's going to be a very different game", Germany's left winger Uwe Gensheimer said after the opening game against Korea when he was asked to vote for the Brazilian selection. 1/12/19 5:01 PM One could see this second game as the first location for Germany. Anyone who saw Brazil's first match against France was probably surprised, perhaps impressed. 22:24 - in the end, in the game against the big title favorites was a narrow defeat for Brazil, so that was not necessarily expected. 1/12/19 5:00 PM Tim, you've been working hard on the Brazilians - what can we expect from the opponent and this game? 1/12/19 4:55 PM The German captain Uwe Gensheimer has complained in the current SPIEGEL that the media does not pay enough attention to the interesting types in handball. What else he has to say: 1/12/19 4:50 PM For the German selection, the tournament starts today really. The victory against Korea was planned, the clear result without great significance. Even against Brazil, the team of coach Christian Prokop can not leave anything, before he goes next week against France, Russia and Serbia. The narrow defeat of the South Americans against France was the right awake, so that everyone knows that it will not be such a walk as against the selection of Korea. "We have to improve," was also the often-heard slogan after the opening match. 1/12/19 4:44 PM Our local man is already in place.
