Italy vs Serbia 2022 DBB Supercup will take place on August 19, i,e on Friday. After Robin Benzing has been ousted, NBA professional Dennis Schröder will lead the German basketball players as the new captain to the home European Championship. Center Johannes Voigtmann will be the deputy for the 28-year-old point guard, the German Basketball Association announced. At the beginning of the first training before the Supercup in Hamburg on August 19th and 20th, national coach Gordon Herbert appointed the duo for the leadership roles. Herbert had reduced his squad for the European Championship to 14 players for the time being. He had decided against the longtime captain Benzing. This also happened because of a persistent injury in the pelvic and groin area, with which the 33-year-old had to struggle in the summer, Herbert told the “kicker”.
“To be honest, it was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make as a coach.” “I think I deserved to be there,” Benzing told the German Press Agency. “Certainly not with as much playing time as before, but as an eleventh or twelfth player.” Benzing, who was last with Fortitudo Bologna in Italy, had played for the national team every summer since 2009. His appearance in the friendly against the Netherlands on Friday evening was his 167th international match. The German team is preparing for the Supercup at the weekend in Hamburg. The preliminary round of the European Championship (September 1st to 18th) takes place in Cologne and the final round in Berlin.
