“Germany began really well last week with a win over Bulgaria and I think our chances are just as good against Russia this weekend,” said Bjorn Andrae.
“For us, Bulgaria was exactly what we needed but I was still surprised. We had a very short preparation time after a long season and everyone was very nervous. The whole team played well and it was really important for our confidence, especially as we won in Bulgaria, somewhere it is usually quite difficult to get a win“, commented Bjorn Andrae first games in World League 2011.
We are a young team but not without experience and everyone is still growing and maturing. We have a good mix of ages in the squad who are all really motivated and a coach who works well with everyone in Raul Lozano. Everyone knows that if they give 100% they will be in the team, and that means that everyone is giving 100% in training.
Bjorn want to play well in Russia – “I think if we perform as well as last weekend, the team has a good chance to come away with some points against Russia. They also had a long season so there is more of a chance of beating them now than in a few weeks time when everyone has found their rhythm. Everybody is feeling positive.“

I hope we make it to the next round. Although I am in no pain from my knee injuries I’ve been told that it will be much better if I rest a bit, so will probably miss the competition. Our goal is to make the Final Round, anything more than that would be great.
