“That Really Annoyed Me”: Leverkusen Handball Loses Clearly to Waiblingen
Bayer Leverkusen women's handball loss to VfL Waiblingen: Bayer Leverkusen women's handball team lost 32-24 at home to VfL Waiblingen, its sixth defeat of the season. Coach Franziska Garcia said the result was too high and criticized her team's lack of energy and tempo after the break.
Bayer Leverkusen women’s handball loss to VfL Waiblingen, Digi Mart USA News (Leverkusen, Germany): Bayer Leverkusen’s women’s handball team is still waiting for its first home point of the season. After winning away for the first time this season, the team lost 24-32 at home to VfL Waiblingen, trailing 14-18 at halftime.
Coach Franziska Garcia said the margin was too large. “The result was too high.
Waiblingen was not eight goals better, at most eight goals more experienced,” she said. The loss was Leverkusen’s sixth of the season, though the team remains narrowly above the relegation zone of the 2.
Bundesliga.
Garcia said a result was within reach. “Today something would really have been possible.
The opportunity was there,” she said. Leverkusen led for much of the first half and stayed within range at 14-15, but a 0-3 run before halftime cost them ground.
In the second half the match turned. Waiblingen pulled away to lead 15-21 and held that advantage, reaching 20-26 after 45 minutes.
“That really annoyed me. In my view we were too emotionless and played without fire and passion.
In attack the grip and movement were missing,” Garcia said.
According to Garcia, the team improved only after a timeout, but by then it was chasing a deficit it could not close. “Waiblingen did it cleverly and kept lulling us along.
Above all we did not manage to bring our fast-paced game to bear in attack. We were clearly too slow,” she said.
After eight games, Leverkusen has only three points.
The next challenges will not be easier. On Saturday Leverkusen travels to league leader SG Nürtingen-Zizishausen near Stuttgart.
The team’s next attempt at a first home win comes on Friday, November 20, against neighboring rivals Bergischer HC.
