Foxes jubilant following win against Nantes: "Outstanding reaction"
Füchse Berlin are gearing up for an important Bundesliga match against VfL Gummersbach, following their victorious debut in the Champions League against HBC Nantes. The game, scheduled for Sunday at 3:00 PM, will see Füchse travel directly from France via Düsseldorf.
Nicolaj Krickau, the new coach of Füchse Berlin, expressed satisfaction after a 40:34 win against HBC Nantes. The victory, the first for Krickau since taking office, marked the start of the Champions League for Füchse. The improved performance in the second half, with a changed structure in attack, was a key factor in the win.
However, Krickau warns that Gummersbach pose a significant challenge. The team from North Rhine-Westphalia has already beaten the two top teams, MT Melsungen and TSV Hannover-Burgdorf, this season. Krickau acknowledges that Gummersbach has a really good squad and more depth this year, giving them countless options.
Mijajlo Marsenic, a circle runner for Füchse, emphasized the need for mental strength in the upcoming game. The days following the dismissals of sports director Stefan Kretzschmar and successful coach Jaron Siewert were initially tough against Nantes, with Füchse having a low shooting percentage in the initial stages.
The win against HBC Nantes was a significant turnaround for Füchse after their loss to SC Magdeburg. The victory against HBC Nantes has not been mentioned as a factor in the upcoming game against VfL Gummersbach, but it has undoubtedly boosted the team's confidence.
Füchse will have an extra day to prepare for the game against Gummersbach due to their travel arrangements. This additional time could prove crucial in fine-tuning their strategies and ensuring they are at their best for the crucial Bundesliga match.
Krickau attributes the improved performance to finding their rhythm and the changed structure in attack during the second half. The team will aim to carry this momentum into the game against Gummersbach, with the two points being incredibly important for their position in the Bundesliga standings.
As Füchse Berlin prepare for this crucial match, they will need to show the mentality and character that helped them secure their first Champions League victory. The game against VfL Gummersbach promises to be an exciting and closely contested affair.
