Berlin's Foxes Aim to Rule Europe's Handball Kingdom
Berlin sets sights on securing European handball championship title. - Berlin aims to clinch the European handball title: persistent goal in sight for the capital city.
Y'all better watch out, 'cause Berlin's handball squad, the Foxes, are on a mission to conquer Europe. After clinching their first championship, they got their sights set on the ultimate prize - the European handball crown. And guess where this epic showdown is going down? Cologne, baby! Starting Tuesday, they'll be chasing after that last missing sticker to complete their "Panini album" in the Champions League Final Four weekend.
Their sports director, Stefan Kretzschmar, is as pumped as a jacked-up powerlifter at a hefty weightlifting competition. In the semi-finals, Berlin will face off against the French vice-champs, HBC Nantes, on Saturday. And you better believe Kretzschmar's expecting great things.
"Winning the German championship? It gives ya a hell of a rush. If we'd screwed it up? That'd've sucked going into Cologne. But we're living the dream now, and we're heading into the tournament with a solid head on our shoulders," said Kretzschmar.
Got a player who's been making waves like a tidal wave? Mathias Gidsel, that's who. This Danish dynamo was the X-factor that won Berlin the nail-biting title race against defending champs SC Magdeburg thanks to a 38:33 victory over the Rhein-Neckar Lions.
"Mathias Gidsel? He's one of the greatest handball players of all time - even when you compare him to legends like Mikkel Hansen and Nikola Karabatic," declared national player Juri Knorr, hyping up the sensation in the Foxes jersey. "Both Berlin and Magdeburg, the other German team vying for the European Cup, got my best! May the best team win."
SCM will go up against record champions FC Barcelona in the semi-finals. Fuming veteran Fabian Wiede, who's been donning the Foxes jersey for 16 years, wants another taste of victory with his mates. "We know what we're up against. But with the way we're playing, we're the baddest team on the block. So I can't wait for the tourney, and I hope we'll be hoisting the next trophy."
So mark your calendars for a weekend of handball thrown down in Cologne, where the Foxes will be vying for European domination!
