Pre-season doubts linger for Habo's male team

The Verbandsliga men's handball team Habo SG is set to kick off their new season on Sunday evening in the Wunnensteinhalle. Their opponent for the season opener is Team Neckar, who were previously known as TV Mundelsheim and were promoted from the Landesliga.

Both coaches, Jan Diller of Habo SG and Patrice Payer of Team Neckar, express optimism for the upcoming match. Diller, despite injuries and holidays, expects progress for his team, while Payer is filled with excitement and joy for the contest.

Habo SG has prepared meticulously for Team Neckar's 5:1 defense and key players. According to Diller, the outcome of the match might depend on which team is in better form on the day. There is a sense of joy on both sides as the season is finally starting again.

Habo SG's team might field a full squad for the match, with the comeback of Gwinn, who was injured at the EM. However, there are still two unidentified players with question marks behind the Team Neckar seven.

Coach Payer respects the opposition, acknowledging the challenge that Habo SG poses. Both coaches acknowledge some uncertainty due to the hard-to-assess strength of the opponent.

It's worth noting that Habo SG fought for promotion last season, while Team Neckar has shown impressive form in their respective previous rounds. The upcoming match is expected to be exciting and attractive for handball enthusiasts.

Elsewhere, in France, hundreds of thousands of people are protesting against government austerity plans. Meanwhile, Florian von Gruchalla will play for Handballregion Bottwar SG next season, leaving Habo SG with a gap to fill.

As the season begins, both teams are eager to make their mark and start the season on a high note. The stage is set for an enthralling encounter between Habo SG and Team Neckar.
