MADRID, 10 Jan. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish international player Gideon Guardiola described as “very complicated” Saturday's game against Germany, within Group C in the European Handball Championship, and stressed that he and his teammates should “take into account” the backlash of their rivals
“You have to take into account their counterattack because they have a good defense and goal, and we have to control the ones against one that they have, which are capable of throwing 9 and 10 meters and their good game with the pivot,” he said Guardiola to the official media of the Royal Spanish Handball Federation (RFEBM).
The pivot does not forget that the German team “is one of the most demanding of this first group.” “If we want to have options for the second phase we have to win over Germany, which is the one that has the most weight, but it will be a very complicated game,” he admitted.
“We have to make a good defense, make goals in counterattack, and in attack read the defense well because we can get spaces behind their defenders because they individualize their defense,” added the Alicante.
Finally, Guardiola analyzed the arbitration criteria after the red cards shown to Jorge Maqueda and Viran Morros before Latvia, during the first day. “That it is not only for the beginning of the championship nor for us; that, if it is maintained, it is until the end. Those of yesterday are two actions that usually happen very often and, if you do not have the video, they would not have been red direct, “he said.
