In fact, the last game of the Herrsching Bundesliga volleyball players this season took place in the Nikolaushalle two weeks ago.
Actually - because because of corona-related ghost games, the match against leaders Berlin will take place again on Sunday in the GCDW-Arena in Herrsching.
Herrsching
- Two weeks ago, the Bundesliga volleyball players from WWK Volleys Herrsching said goodbye to the venerable Nikolaushalle and the local fans, somewhat wistfully. After all, all other home games should take place in the main round, in the intermediate round starting in mid-January and in the play-offs in the new home Audi Dome. But Corona still has the world and thus the volleyball Bundesliga under control. As is known, no spectators are allowed to attend sporting events in Bavaria. However, ghost games in the Audi Dome would have been a rather expensive affair for the Herrsching volleyball players. The people in charge in Herrsching are all the happier that they were able to move the home game against the Berlin Recycling Volleys to the Nikolaushalle on Sunday at 5.30 p.m.
For economic reasons, the move from Munich back to the Ammersee is absolutely understandable.
The long-term venue was vacant, as amateur sport is once again dormant.
Managing director Fritz Frömming also sent thanks to the opponent and the VBL responsible person around Viola Knospe (head of game operations).
Max Hauser very much regrets that his team has to serve again in front of empty ranks: “That is of course very, very unfortunate.
A lot of spectators would have come especially against Berlin, there would have been a good atmosphere in the Dome. ”The Herrsching coach didn't want to deal with it much longer than necessary.
"In principle, I have no problem with things that I cannot change."
That is why the focus during the week was on the game against the Berlin Recycling Volleys. And here he mainly focused "on our game, less on that of the opponent," as Hauser noted. The trainer is still not satisfied with the serve, and Hauser also sees potential for development in most positions. At least the most recently injured or battered outside attackers Jori Mantha and Tim Peter are getting better and better.
The Berlin Recycling Volleys are the measure of all things in the league. Eleven games, eleven wins, 33: 2 sentences is the impressive record of the capitals. "It won't be easy, but maybe there will be an outsider chance for us." Frömming also has no great hopes for a sense of achievement: "We have to have a great, great day, Berlin a great, extremely bad day."
That this should happen, however, seems rather unrealistic. Coach Cedric Enard's team plays too confidently. In the first leg seven weeks ago there was a clear 3-0 defeat in the Max-Schmeling-Halle. On Friday evening, the Berliners were able to get to grips with the game on Sunday at taillight TSV Haching Munich. On Monday, the plane then goes straight to Portugal, where the Champions League duel against Sporting Lisbon is on the program on Tuesday.
Load control is therefore the magic word at Cedric Enard, who has already announced rotation for the Bavarian double.
In any case, the French have great respect for the WWK volleys: “The Herrschinger certainly didn't have their best phase.
But if we give them the chance, the team will kindle their fire in the small hall and the familiar surroundings. "
