After the gala performance last in the top game against Melsungen, the Foxes Berlin initially struggled on Sunday at the guest appearance in Stuttgart. Then, however, they delivered a truly masterly performance.
On the 32nd matchday of the handball Bundesliga they have Foxes Berlin Your league leaders defended and won with 35:20 with the relegation -prone TVB Stuttgart. With two outstanding games, the Berliners still have a point ahead of the second in the table Magdeburg and also the significantly better goal difference.

Pomadic start
However, there was no question of gloss and Gloria in the compulsory victory in the Stuttgart Halle, which was sold out with 6,000 spectators. In contrast to the Gala performance in the top game against Melsungen Three days earlier, the Berliners struggled for a long time. Füchse circuit runners Mijajlo Marsenić then stated in the break interview at the broadcasting streaming provider Dyn: “This was not our best half.”
In fact, the foxes started the game almost pomadiously, quickly lay 2: 4 and 3: 5 behind and were allowed to thank the goalkeeper Dejan Milosavljev, who was once again outstanding. It is also characteristic that both Lasse Andersson and Nils Lichtlein after tempo reversals failed free -standing on Stuttgart’s goalkeeper Samir Bellahcene, without the Frenchman having to move particularly. Andersson also brought it to be forbidden to bring four steps to the floor in the run -up to his half cooking.
Strong defensive
After all, this experience seemed to have been a kind of wake -up call for the Danes. As a result, the 31-year-old swung himself up to the best Berliner. Above all, because he always staged his teammates, especially district runners Marsenić. The remaining foxes also gradually looked more determined and concentrated, while the strongly started Stuttgart -based company became increasingly inaccurate in their attack efforts.
After 15 minutes played, the first lead of the Berliner occurred in the 8: 7, which they no longer gave from then on. Until then, it was particularly noteworthy that the Berliners never seemed to fall into unrest despite the rump start. And that despite the fact that Max Darj admitted after the game on the Dyn microphone: “I think we were a bit of afraid of this game. It was difficult in recent years. We made a lot of effort to be really focused at the beginning.”
At the beginning of the second half, however, the encounter became a one -sided affair – especially because the foxes on the defensive were able to vanish a masterly performance. Even after 40 minutes played, they held the Stuttgart with manageable 15 goals. At this point, eight goals ahead and a litter rate of 77 percent was decided early.

Change foxes
A ultimately mature performance against a Stuttgart team that could never conquer the foxes in the eight away games with more than three goals. But this season everything seems a decisive a little different. And so the foxes, even after they had started to rely on players from the second row, dragged away to 30:17 with ten minutes to be played. Stuttgart’s coach Jürgen Schweikardt always loudly borrowed his team during the time -out, just not to give up. Alone it did not change the significant balance of power.
It continues for the foxes on Thursday (June 5, 7 p.m.) with a home game against VfL Gummersbach. On the last match day it goes to the Rhein-Neckar Löwen (June 8, 3 p.m.). Or as Max Darj said: “It will be exciting. We have to work a lot with our head. But I sure, if we go on like this, we can win both games.”
