No thread about my germans yet? So, here we go.......
After the disastrous ech there were serious discussions in the federation about Lozano's position and a potential dismissal. As the team obviously wasn't mentally in a good condition, Lozanos way of communication with the players was questioned. But in the end, it was decided by federation not to fire him and to let him prepare the team for european pre qualification tournament in France.
Concerning the team, there will be some changes. Markus Popp announced, that he won't participate, as long as Raul Lozano ist still coach http://volleyball.de/nc/news-u…-kritik-am-bundestrainer/
But the biggest loss for the team will be Stefan Hübner. It was just announced, that he is, surprise surprise, injured and has to stop playing for at least 3 months. This is very sad news, as he is by far the best MB in the team.
For the libero, there is a big questionmark as well. Ferdinand Tille failed to find a new club abroad and is now back in Generali Unterhaching. But as he was injured as well, he was just used for some rallies in the defence. So i guess, Markus Steuerwald and Sebastian Prüsener of Unterhaching have the best chances going to France. We will see.........
All in all, it doesn't look good for the Olympics, but the hope dies last
