Berlin (dpa / bb) - The Berlin HC firmly believes in the chance of the eighth field hockey championship title in its club history. "Due to our season performance so far, we're approaching this thing very confidently," said coach Rein van Eijk, whose team has won nine of the last ten games. The only defeat was a 1: 5 against Rot-Weiss Köln, which the BHC will now meet in the semi-finals on Saturday (4:00 p.m.) in Mannheim. «Last time we paid a lot of money. But now we can show how we have developed over the past few weeks, ”said the Dutchman.
Captain Paul Dösch adds: “We're really looking forward to Saturday. We still have something to catch up on and an invoice from the hall still outstanding. " After all, the BHC had already lost the indoor final against Rot-Weiss in February 2020. The match winner in Cologne's 7: 6 was Jonas Gomoll, who then moved back to Berlin. The national player was a member of the last BHC championship team in 2012. "The work and team spirit is the same as it was back then," said the striker, recognizing parallels to the last field title.
Olympic champion Martin Häner will end his career after 16 years in the Bundesliga after the Final Four.
"I wanted to quit when the club was in a good position and no longer played against relegation," said the 32-year-old.
This is the case now.
For the entire BHC team, Häner's last appearance is additional motivation to give their “sheriff” a grand finale.
