It’s nothing new that German teams criticize schedule of the VELUX EHF Champions League. The new voice came from Flensburg, where secretary general of SG Flensburg Handewitt, Dierk Schmaschke, had to say something about eternal topic:
- We are everything, but not satisfied. In this moment we have three cases in which we have to play two matches in 48 hours period – said Schmaschke for Handball Woche Magazine.
The first situation is coming next weekend at the start of European elite competition, when German runners-up will meet Danish Aalborg (Saturday, 17.30hrs), less than 48 hours after their DKB Bundesliga match against Erlangen (Thursday, 19 hrs).
- We want more flexible schedule for the German teams – stated SG Flensburg representative.
DKB Bundesliga president Frank Bohmann, however, pointed out in the Mannheimer Morgen that the constellation of Thursday-Saturday- match-days ” was presented to all the teams even before contract signing with new TV partner – Sky.
