ROn Monday, a message shook the handball world. "I am of course only once shocked," explains Christian Dissinger had given the circulating at his new club Atletico Madrid .The signs that the Spanish runner is in threatening economic difficulties had previously compacted. The message drew their circles, late afternoon Spanish media also reported the first of the threat from the top clubs. An official report of the association is still pending, but a gloomy picture it is emerging - for the day of the retreat is expected.
The handball tradition of Atletico Madrid goes way back: In 1962, the club won the inaugural championship Hall played in Spain and subsequently won eight national titles. In 1994, the retreat, but in the summer of 2011 there was a revival. Five Spanish championships, and three victories in the Champions League and numerous other titles brought to Ciudad Real to Madrid, led by coach Talant should Duishebaev to financial problems in the capital under the new name be the beginning.
 However, the club had to let some performers after the move, last Kiril Lazarov went to Barcelona. The economic power of earlier times had been lost. For the coming season Talant Duishebaev wanted to start with young talent and a reduced budget rebuild. Besides the young German Christian hope Dissinger should it play a key role coaches son Alex Duishebaev. During the last season he collected in Zaragoza match practice, and this in impressive fashion, with 198 goals this season and average 6.83 hits, he was top scorer in the league Asobal. Talant Duishebaev revealed to the Spanish sports daily AS according upset about the development of his club, not just bored and his son, he had turned down offers highly doped, but also because he and his players brought word or moved to the whereabouts.

 On Tuesday, there will be talks, but the retreat seems already as good as made out. Spanish media reports of over 900,000 euros tax debt that the Treasury should demand. Add reportedly come to open salaries, outstanding amounts at the social and other creditors - much of it allegedly from the time before the move. The authorities should have objected to a further postponement of the tax debt, a move that will have the fate of the club now finally sealed.
 That football clubs in Spain have got repeatedly admitted to long delays in repayment of the tax debt, but did not receive the same fringe sports such preferential treatment, meanwhile, criticized the well-known Spanish journalist Jorge Dargel in his contribution to marca.com. In this he also points out that the soccer players of Atletico Madrid are not the same club. As with HSV Hamburg Handball Player play as an independent construct with a license under the logo and name of the footballer.
 Many handball fans still hope for help from the football players who also have the same main sponsor. But they have financial problems themselves, although calculated last Monday with David Villa is a well-known newcomer was presented for the migrated for 45 million to Monaco Falcao. FC Barcelona came to the table third last season in the transfer counter, reported marca.com. Only 2.1 million would be paid immediately, and the rest would be controlled by back payments and an interest in any transfer fee - no sign of abundant financial resources.
 For the handball section therefore is expected from today, Tuesday. The Madrid newspaper ABC announces that the Association publish a declaration, and players and coaches Talant Duishebaev will release. This could also bring movement in the German market players, because now the HSV could prematurely Joan Canellas under contract, who has already signed for the coming season with the hamburgers. This could clear the way for the exchange of Duvnjak to Kiel and the Kiel could also also looking for a replacement for the churners Christian Zeitz in Madrid will find it - with Alex Duishebaev would be a promising talent on the market.
 Not just for players like Christian Dissinger who have to do now on the search for a new club, the processes are meanwhile a heavy blow. Also for the Spanish Liga Asobal and handball total would be the retreat, he should now be sad certainty, painful: In Spain, the only serious rival of FC Barcelona would be lost, it threatens the country of the world champion of all in the first season after winning the title in own country a monoculture with a very strong team. And in the Champions League would have a substitutes for group B are found, taking the matches against THW Kiel, Kielce, Kolding, Dunkerque and a qualifier to be held Madrid. After the demise of AG Copenhagen last year, it would also be the second time in a row that a candidate would have to bow out in advance to participate in the Final4.
