Hamburg (dpa / lno) - After the narrow 31:33 (16:14) defeat in the handball Bundesliga game at TuS Metzingen, Dirk Leun referred to the positive impressions of his team.
“Still, it was an important step forward,” said the coach of Buxtehuder SV, who slipped to tenth place, and added: “We went into the duels with will.
That's a good base.
Now we have to be a little more precise and better in timing. "
Buxtehude proved to be an equal opponent for around 50 minutes against the favored hosts, who recorded their eleventh league victory in a row.
In the first half, the Leun team was even able to gain an interim 9: 8 lead, although they had to play almost seven minutes straight due to several time penalties and sometimes even had two players less on the field.
"Leun: We weren't lucky because the opponent could have received one or two time penalties."
After the break, the BSV then got problems switching between attacking and defending games after Metzingen increased the pressure.
“In the end there was a lack of strength.
As a result, we made one or the other mistake and decreased efficiency.
We then played full risk in attacking positions and with open cover and fought for every goal, ”said Leun.
"Overall we allowed too many throws through the center in the second half."
The BSV will play the next game on Friday (7.30 p.m.) against front-runner Borussia Dortmund.
