06.01.09 - A small final for Zebras in Hamburg
THW Kiel has tonight, at quarter past eight, the chance to extend their lead in the Budesliga beating HSV Hamburg on their home soil. There is time for a success after the squad coached by Martin Schwalb won in "Sparkassen Arena" and complicated Kiel´s life in the championship.
HSV Hamburg is third in the Bundesliga ranking and the national title is their last chance to rise up trophy this season after they lost the final of the German Cup and didn´t make it in the final of the Champions League. Kiel detains the first position and two points today in Hamburg will help them to came closer to the 14th championships in their history.
Surely the team coached by Noka Serdarusic know the recipe of achiving wins in Color Line Arena from Hamburg. Since 2003, the German Champions have never lost there and the last time when they shared beautiful moments in this hall was on 30th March, when they defeated HSV, 32:29, and they conquered the German Cup. More than this, in the last eleven encounters in the Bundesliga, the Zebras were seven times the winners.
But the Gille brothers, Hens and especially Bitter and Yoon were the ones who succeeded to impose themselves in Sparkassen-Arena, that happened on 6th November 2007, when Yoon scored for 31:30 with few seconds to go. It was Niko´s squad first insuccess in front of own spectators after 14 months. And such a defeat, who can´t be forgetten and forgiven, asks for a moral reparation and that´s a victory in the evening.
