Towards the other opponents Jug Dubrovnik and Olympiacos Piraeus, each and every level would be a huge surprise. “But it’s possible we can trouble one particular of the two,” Stamm hopes.
Prior to the initially event, after several crown infections in the crew, appropriate education was not feasible for weeks. Far more than fifty percent a dozen persons from Spandau had participated in the preparing for Olympic qualification with the countrywide workforce. “Now you are a great deal fitter,” claims Stamm. Having said that, Germany was remaining with out a victory in Rotterdam. The concern occurs no matter if the players have already endured the annoying expertise.
