Kiel (dpa / lno) - Trainer Filip Jicha from the German champions THW Kiel has again complained about the depletion of health and strength of the players in the handball Bundesliga.
"In terms of stress, it is a situation for top athletes that will definitely leave its mark," said the Czech to the NDR.
«In hindsight, these weeks of hassling appointments will certainly shorten some professional careers a little.
I am convinced of that."
Jicha is convinced that the season under pandemic conditions with compulsory quarantine breaks and catch-up games in close succession will have strong negative effects.
“We were in quarantine for 14 days, then played seven competitive games in 14 days, didn't train at all - and then the boys went to national team week.
Our players were without training for a month and played unbelievable games.
That was really a risk, "reported the 38-year-old and said:" I find that shocking. "
Jicha's comment on the situation in top handball: "It's just crazy!"
