Preparation has been running since Wednesday
“This is something great to have reached the Final Four in our first year. Even in the way we achieved it. That means a lot,” said sports director Stefan Kretzschmar. Managing Director Bob Hanning is excited to see how much energy the team has after the exhausting Bundesliga season for the last duels of the season. “I don’t know how big we are to master it. The trainer can try to prepare the team well, Kretzsche can keep a motivation address. But none of this will make us win these games. This is now only possible from the inside,” said Hanning.
The leadership team around the 57-year-old had deliberately no limits to the celebrations after the decisive game on Sunday in Mannheim. The players should enjoy the special triumph and only get in preparation for the Final Four from Wednesday.
“Tonight we let the cow fly”: The foxes at the destination of their dreams
It was still a hard work on Sunday. In the end, the Foxes Berlin rewarded themselves for an outstanding season with the first championship title in club history. Players and those responsible look at what they had achieved somewhat. By Jonas Bürgenermore
Foxes don’t see themselves in the favorite role
Coach Jaron Siewert hopes that his team will now be back into the usual rhythm, which has been interrupted by the exuberant celebrations on the Kreuzberg bathing ship. “The team said we are not traveling as a master. The Champions League is a completely different competition. A championship is worth nothing,” Serwert said optimistic.
Opponent Nantes Despite the weak betting odds, the Berliners do not want to underestimate. “This is perhaps the lightest opponent on paper, but a fire -threatening team. French teams in particular have often shown enough that the underdog can be successful,” warned Kretzschmar. It leaves him cold that the foxes are seen by the bookmakers and many experts as a favorite. “We are already perceiving that and the compliments are happy to do that. But we certainly won’t be lulled by it,” said Kretzschmar.
Siewert also does not see his team in the favorite role. “Basically, the defending champion and the team who won the most frequently are the favorites: and that is both Barcelona. We have never been in the final and are the newcomer,” he said.
The way of the first foxes championship title is impressed
The Foxes Berlin are German handball champions. Not only the fact that it is the first Bundesliga title in the history of the club, but above all the emergence of the triumph makes it so special, commented on it Nikolaus Hillmann.more
Siewert expects return to speed handball
Nevertheless, they are happy that the dramatic championship final ended with a happy ending. “This giant ballast, which was on our shoulders at the Rhein-Neckar Löwen, we won’t have this time,” said Hanning. Siewert also relies on it. “I hope that we can play the attractive speed handball of the past few weeks again,” he said.
If the Berliner succeeds, the chances of the second title of the season are great. Just as the bookmakers say.
