- So Niko, you assisted to the match yesterday evening, what do you thought about it?
"It is not a lot to say about this draw. We performed too poor, we really didn´t deserve more."
- It was truly a poor performance...
"Yes, we failed, we missed completely the start of the season. We have already lost a point and we know how much costs a point in Bundesliga, this is bad for us."
- What do you felt during the match?
"I felt badly. You are there, in the stands and you see that your pals are not able to do the difference. I would have loved so much to be with them on the court, helping them to win this damned dispute. When the final whistle came, I was frustrated."
- It was announced that you are out for three-four weeks, do you confirm it?
"Yes, I do, unfortunately. In fact, my elbow injury is not so harmless as it seems. That´s why I have to take seriously care of myself. Actually, I have a fracture to a bone placed between the radius and the cubit and there is a small piece who balances and we can´t take it out. So I take care of myself..."
- But this fracture isn´t it the consequence of an impact?
"Yes, it is correct what you said. If I am forced to take a break, it is only because of the accumulation of games. It is almost an year since I have played without interruption. The German, European and world handball authorities apparently don´t realise what a rhythm they imposed us. If we continue like this, the players will fall out with injuries one by one. They must really perceive the danger that they players live with."
- What is it your schedule for the following weeks?
"I will take care of my injury and I will train, but only physically. And after it, I will take part to a TV-show, whose gain will go to an association. I am also invited at Stade de France for the match France - Serbia. On Thrusday I will be close to Nürnberg, at the Adidas domicile, where I will be awarded with the trophy for the best player in the world, this will make me change a bit the mood."
