"The Sea Devils leader is confident in his team's unstoppable nature."
Let's Talk Kyle Kitchens, the Unstoppable Defensive Force of the Hamburg Sea Devils
Love him or loathe him, Kyle Kitchens isn't just a top-tier player for the Hamburg Sea Devils—he's a European League of Football (ELF) phenomenon. Since donning the Sea Devils' jersey in 2021, he's racked up an impressive three Defensive Player of the Year awards. And folks, let me tell you, this cat's got plans for world domination, and he ain't holding back: "We will be unstoppable."
Hamburg's enchanting charm has reeled him in good and proper. With its watery landscapes and hidden gems waiting to be discovered, he's smitten. Even the weather, despite its propensity to rain almost daily, can't dampen his spirits; the warmer weather and sunnier days are on their way, baby, and he can't wait.
Food-wise, our man Kyle's discovered something delightfully North German—the fish bun. A match made in heaven, that's what it is.
But Hamburg ain't the only city our boy's known. Berlin and Leipzig were his previous haunts, and their unique cultures have left their imprint on him. Berlin's open vibe, Hamburg's classy, business-minded aura, and Leipzig's developmental phase all add up to make each city its own special slice of Deutschland.
Fatah's Departure: A Blow, but Love Remains
The season kicked off with a bang, but not before a shake-up. With head coach Shuan Fatah calling it quits just a week before the first game, it was a bitter pill to swallow. For Kitchens, who'd joined the team in part because of Fatah, the news hurt something fierce. But, as Kitchens put it, "There's nothing but love and respect for Coach Shuan."
Stepping into Fatah's shoes was no easy feat, but new coach Lee Rowland was more than up to the task. kitchens calls Rowland "the man," a force who demands the best from everyone. He's a grumpy old fart with a hearty sense of humor, a combo that's hard to resist. The shake-up actually brought the team closer together, making them more united than ever.
Defense: Our Fortress, Europe's Nightmare
Sea Devils' defense? It's a unit that's one voice, one force. Not only do they want to be the best in Europe, they will be. Kitchens doesn't claim leadership for himself, insisting he's just a supporting actor playing the role he's been given. The team holds one another accountable, working together to achieve their goals.
Berlin: Old Friends, New Battles
This weekend, the Sea Devils face off against Berlin. It's a special game for Kitchens, who spent three years battling for them. Friendships off the field make it hard to turn on old teammates, but as soon as the game starts, it's war.
Hamburg: Home Field Advantage, Higher Goals
The season so far's been a mix of wins and losses, but Kitchens isn't disheartened. They ain't reached their full potential just yet, and there's still plenty of noise from the outside world trying to throw them off their game. But Kitchens and the team are focused on what truly matters, and that's performing at the top of their game.
The team's first home game in Hamburg can't come soon enough, and Kitchens' excited to see the fans and put on a show. In the long run, he sees himself sticking around Germany, ending his career in the country he's grown to love and, later, taking on the role of coach.
