Germany Goalkeeper Andreas Wolff Denounces Theatrics in Handball, Urges Fair Play

The remarks, drawn from a previously recorded podcast episode, were published today by national outlets.

Overview

  • Wolff criticized players who he says lament, act and shout after contact to influence referees’ decisions.
  • He included goalkeepers in his critique, citing complaints even after conceded goals and feigned head hits after arm contact.
  • Calling such behavior unfair, he argued it should not be part of the sport and rejected attempts to draw two‑minute suspensions through exaggeration.
  • He did not name any individuals in his comments.
  • The 34‑year‑old THW Kiel and Germany national team keeper made the remarks on the podcast Hand aufs Harz.
