As the clock ticks down towards the Handball-Bundesliga championship, the Füchse Berlin are gearing up for a thrilling clash against VfL Gummersbach (19:00 Uhr/Dyn) on Thursday. At the heart of this title chase, you'll find a man between the posts - Dejan Milosavljev. This 29-year-old Serbian powerhouse is the linchpin that holds the Berliners' title-winning aspirations together. "He's an extraordinary netminder. His current form is nothing short of flawless," enthused sporting director Stefan Kretzschmar.
While the offensive finesse of the Füchse has earned them accolades aplenty, the team's defense, particularly the unyielding Milosavljev, has been relatively overlooked. "Right now, many players are elevating their game. But it's Milosavljev's saves in recent games that truly set the Berliners on the path to victory," Kretzschmar admitted.
A goalkeeper's brilliance shines best with a solid defense to back him up. The Füchse can always count on Milosavljev, particularly during periods when the team's offensive rhythm falters. "Our lads know that in times when things don't go as planned, and errors occur, we're there to lend a hand," Milosavljev assured, with fellow goalkeeper Lasse Ludwig by his side.
Milosavljev is an indispensable asset in Füchse Berlin's title push. "He's a vital contributor, not only in terms of sports prowess but also in terms of character. He's a likeable fellow who plays a crucial role in this team," praised Kretzschmar.
Such commanding performances can only be sustained as part of a collective effort, in close collaboration with the entire defense, and that necessitates intricate work and effective communication with the attackers. "We've spent countless hours dissecting our defensive tactics. We engage in lengthy discussions about what we require in specific situations. For me, it's vital to anticipate when and from which position an attack is coming," Milosavljev explained.
