Mannheim (dpa / lsw) - Despite second place in the table, coach Martin Schwalb does not want to tackle the continuation of the handball Bundesliga season with the Rhein-Neckar Löwen with too great ambitions.
«I don't think we should aim for the championship.
And I don't necessarily see us in the Champions League at the moment, ”said the 57-year-old to“ Mannheimer Morgen ”(Friday).
Flensburg and Kiel are "one step ahead of the lions," said Schwalb: "With Melsungen, Berlin and Magdeburg, we are a bit behind."
The championships in 2016 and 2017 and the cup win in 2018 are “a little brick in our backpack,” said Schwalb: “The expectations are simply huge - and after two championships I can understand why it is our job to get better and to meet these expectations. "
In the first Bundesliga game after the World Cup in Egypt, the Rhein-Neckar Löwen will face MT Melsungen away from home on February 7th.
Before that, the EHF European League will continue on February 2nd and 3rd with two duels with the Swiss team Kadetten Schaffhausen.
"This competition is our greatest chance for a title," said Schwalb.
