a sporting crisis, there are not many. Maybe even just a single and the means of success. For the foxes Berlin was seen last Sunday, a defeat as such. But even that is sometimes a way: the Good in the Bad seeing. After all, defended Berlin’s handball against the same competitors from St. Raphael the lead of their European Cup group. The foxes should win so your final around game on Sunday, before would a supposedly easier opponent in the quarter-finals as the French. But with the Win, the foxes just exactly the Problem.
coach Velimir Petkovic is not this pressure situation according to his own testimony, of course, foreign.

To make matters worse, Drux in this point is only one among many. Petkovic’ve spoken to all his players, very much, – said the coach – what is the funding it brings but, you have to see.
