The tallest German player is Robert Kromm, measuring 2.12 m. Therefore it is not surprising that Kromm’s specialties are his services as well as playing close to the net. The 26-year-old, also captain of the German team, had a great season with his club Verona in the Italian League. National coach Raúl Lozano is hoping that Kromm will be playing just as efficiently with the national side. After Kromm missed out on the starting six in 2009, the 136-time national player set his mind on playing the World League as well as the World Championship 2010.
