Want to know who's been behind the scenes, ensuring Füchse Berlin stays on track for their maiden Handball-Bundesliga title? It's their "exceptional goalkeeper," Dejan Milosavljev, 29, who is stealing the show. Sporting director Stefan Kretzschmar hails him as the backbone of the team. "He's an extraordinary goalkeeper. His current form is immaculate," Kretzschmar gushes.
While the offensive might of Füchse Berlin has been hogging the limelight, it's time their defense, led by Milosavljev, took center stage. Kretzschmar admits others overshadow the goalkeeper, but it's Milosavljev's saves in crucial moments that have paved the Berliners' path to victory. "Every team needs that," Milosavljev notes with a grin.
But don't let his modesty fool you— Milosavljev's a pivotal player in the title race. "He's crucial to us, both on the athletic field and character-wise. He's a fantastic guy who's a vital cog in this team," Kretzschmar asserts.
The 29-year-old Serb's success is a team effort. He acknowledges that without a strong defense and effective communication with the forwards, his saves wouldn't be enough. "We've intensely worked on our defensive tactics. We've dialogue-drawn " fighting words? Dialogue-drawn out what we need in certain situations. I need to know when and from where the shot is coming," Milosavljev explains.
So, as the Füchse Berlin prepare to face VfL Gummersbach on Thursday, know that Milosavljev— the unassuming hero—is ready between the posts, for the team when their offensive rhythm isn't on point. Remember the name, Dejan Milosavljev—the silent hero in Füchse Berlin's title race.
