Active Without Ace: Germany's Handballers Take On Turkey Without Captain Golla
Turkish opposition looms for Germany's handball squad sans their skipper Golla - Turkey encounters German handball without the presence of Captain Golla
Hey there! GFP (German handball's team) is all set to play their final EM qualification match, but without the mighty Johannes Golla. Coach Alfred Gislason dropped the bombshell before the game on Sunday at 6:00 PM in Ludwigsburg, leaving everyone scratching their heads as he spared no details about the captain's absence. Fortunately, the game's outcome won't impact the team's EM qualification, as they've already clinched group victory and a spot in the 2026 tournament in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.
Preparing for this match, Germany will put forth a series of young guns, as the DHB (German Handball Federation) announced a U30 lineup. Twelve out of the 17 players are from the 2000 generation, and seven were U21 World Champions in 2023. "We've got massive talent, but lack experience," said team manager Benjamin Chatton, shedding light on the inexperience of the young outfit.
Following a disappointing draw against Switzerland, the German team wants to show a new face in the final qualifier. "We're still very frustrated. Our performance was poor, both on the offensive and defensive front," admitted Gislason, pointing out coordination issues as the main problem.

Now, you might be wondering, what's the deal with Golla being MIA? Well, the search results came up empty on any information about Golla participating (or not participating) in this specific match or any details about his absence. It's possible that this could be related to a different competition or event not covered in the search results. If you're into handball or another sport where a U30 team might not be common, a bit more context would be helpful to give an accurate response. In general, international competitions like the European Men's Handball Championship often have teams based on age groups like U20 or U21, but the particulars can vary by sport and organization.
