Demonstration of power in the showdown, the longing goal within reach: The Foxes Berlin continues to storm unstoppably towards the historical title.
The fans in the Max-Schmeling-Halle chanted “Oh, how is it”, the players of the Foxes Berlin fell around their neck with joy: After the demonstration of power in the showdown, the longing goal is within reach.
The team around the outstanding world handball player Mathias Gidsel impressively imposed on the previously tied pursuer MT Melsungen in the deciding factor in the deciding Bundesliga summit with 37:29 (18:12)-the first championship in club history is now important.
“I am megaga,” said Gidsel at the Dyn microphone, who admitted to being nervous before the game. This victory means “a lot for the club and the team. Now we have all the chances of the championship. If we play 100 percent, we are absolutely the best team.”
On Thursday evening, Gidsel was by far the best thrower of the Berliners, who still have everything in their own hands with three outstanding games at the top of the table (52:10 points). Nevertheless, the capital city club in the contested sprint in the season is not allowed to afford: the defending champion SC Magdeburg (51:11) lurks in second place, just behind the Melsungers (50:12), who also dream of their first championship.
Berlin’s keeper Dejan Milosavljev top form
“The MT Melsungen and we worked out to be able to play a top game at the end of the season,” Füchse coach Jaron Siewert explained before the game. To be in such a situation shortly before the end of the season was “outstanding,” said MT goalkeeper Carsten Carsten Lichtlein, who is currently back on the age of 44 due to the violation of Nebojsa Simic.
However, the 2007 world champion had to follow from Melsung’s Bank, like his nephew, Foxes playmaker Nils Lichtlein, scored the first goal for the opponent.
At first, a competitive game developed at eye level, in which the Berlin goalkeeper Dejan Milosavljev in particular rose to top forms in the early stages. Among other things, Ian Barrufet failed right from the start with a seven meter on the goalkeeper.
Berlin then got better and better. The defense was safe at the back, after winning the ball, the fans were loudly cheers over Gidsel again and again at speed. In the meantime, the hosts pulled away on seven goals.
“We have to close the gaps faster. We don’t do it the way we discussed it,” MT circuit runner Adrian Sipos complained to the Dyn microphone in the half. But even in the second round, Melsungen initially found no means against the Berliners who did not subside. Gidsel in particular could hardly be stopped.
