The victory in the top match of the German Handball League against Füchse Berlin brought the SC Magdeburg coach one thing above all: relief. "It was a load off my mind that the boys were able to reward themselves and win a crunch time game, even if not everything went perfectly in the game. I was simply relieved," said Bennet Wiegert in a media conference before the game at Frisch Auf Göppingen on Easter Sunday.
The team's joint preparation does not begin until Thursday after days off with individual training plans. Wiegert doesn't see the fact that they won't be at home from Holy Saturday until the night between Easter Sunday and Easter Monday as quite so dramatic. "Festive days like Easter and Christmas are the best-attended games. Of course, we like to have these games at home because we're closer to the family. But in recent years, for example, we've always been so lucky to have the Christmas games at home, so you have to put up with the fact that you're not back until Easter Monday," said the SCM coach.
