With 31:23, the Germans made for a wonderful farewell, the Team and the audience to the lack of concentration-embossed final quarter of an hour, once again, a lot of joy. “There were five fantastic games or ten fantastic days,” said Prokop, in retrospect. His team not only with a “very good feeling” to Cologne, the three points were a “great thing”.

The national coach announced that on Saturday, in any case, again 16 a man in the squad would be – who would it be, he left it open but still. Against Serbia, the team got along. The Germans were to start with the very last consequence, but after a 0:2 behind, they brought into the Constitution that needed it.
“We didn’t want to go down,” said Prokop. Franz Semper took Weinholds Position of the national coach, began early on to change a lot: Re -, Lemke, Shelly, Kohlbacher came, Gensheimer, Strobel, Groetzki and Pekeler got a longer break, after they had put their Team on course. It was important to distribute the load, said Procopius, “the level we have held above”. For a while, not to came, the Germans a Two-goal lead, despite the fact that the cover worked usual focused and Heinevetter had the opportunity to play in the spotlight.
