“Ugly”: Germans complain about Austria even before the start of the European Championship

Andreas Wolff is an absolute world-class goalkeeper in handball. And recently everything just not a popular figure from an Austrian perspective. Because the 34-year-old from Tw kiel where he worked with Austria’s top star Mykola Bilyk in a team plays, dealt violently a few days before the start of the European Championship.

“Of course, Austria plays absolutely anti-handball, nobody actually wants to see that, it’s very unattractive,” the 34-year-old made it abundantly clear in a media round in Hanover.

Austria is known for often taking the goalkeeper off the field in order to be able to play with seven players on offense.

“You have to work a lot in defense and have to be very careful to win the ball easily in order to punish the 7 against 6. The Austrians defend with a lot of passion and toughness and have a bit of the bonus that they are seen as outsiders and they are allowed to get away with the odd foul.”

Wolff has been playing in the Bundesliga for THW Kiel again since 2024 and is a teammate of the Austrian Nikola Bilyk at the traditional club. Wolff described the backcourt player as an absolute “alpha animal” and “leader” in the ÖHB team, together with teammate Lukas Hutecek “direct the attacking game in all its ugliness” and would ensure that the start of the European Championship would be “no treat”.
