Tense handball match - Neuer's father-in-law warns of demotion for his brother in the league.
A Family Affair: Manuel Neuer's Father-in-Law Threatens Relegation Against His Own Brother
Manuel Neuer, the German national goalkeeper, married Anika (Bissel's daughter) this year. Bissel's son Christopher, a left-back and captain, plays for Erlangen while his brother, Dr. Holger Bissel, is the CEO of Creditreform Hannover-Celle Bissel GmbH - a credit information company and a debt collection service provider that has been a loyal sponsor of TSV Hannover-Burgdorf for years.
The situation before the last matchday is as follows: Erlangen is on Tabellen-16, with a better goal difference and two points ahead of the pursuer Bergischer HC. The Bergischer HC is facing SG Flensburg-Handewitt at home on Sunday, a game that won't make a difference for them in the overall standings.
In this scenario, if the BHC beats the Flensburgers and Erlangen loses with a four-goal difference in Hannover, Mittelfranken and Neuer's father-in-law get relegated to the 2nd League as position 17. A curious element here is whether Dr. Holger Bissel, a legal expert, will take legal action due to the current stand and if he would still grant a license to HSV Hamburg considering the situation.
Before the game, Christopher, Neuer's brother-in-law, said confidently before the 26:23 home win against TVB Stuttgart, "If we win today, it looks good for us." Now, everything depends on the game at a club where his uncle, a sponsor, happens to be associated.
