Füchse Berlin's Unstoppable Force: The 21-Year-Old World Champions
The Füchse Berlin handball team is making waves in the world of sports. Despite dealing with multiple long-term injuries and relying heavily on their talented youth squad, they've been tearing through an intense schedule.
The Game Changers: Ludwig and Sauter
Lasse Ludwig and Moritz Sauter, both 21 and twice U21 world champions, have been the driving force for Füchse Berlin. These top performers have played an astonishing six games in seven days across various competitions.
The Double Burden
For Ludwig, this grueling schedule consisted of four games at the Super Globe in Saudi Arabia, a match with VfL Potsdam in 2nd division, and two European League games against Bucharest. After Potsdam's 31:28 victory against Hagen, Ludwig confessed on the court, "That was pretty little sleep due to traveling. I wasn't supposed to play that much, but Mark Ferjan's red card meant I had to pull myself together again."
Moritz Sauter, VfL Potsdam's playmaker, also found himself juggling commitments to the Bundesliga, Super Globe, 2nd division, and European Cup.
Sporting Director's Concerns
Füchse Berlin's sporting director, Stefan Kretzschmar (50), acknowledged the challenges facing the players. "It's really tough what all the lads are doing at the moment. After the Super Globe final, it was straight off to the showers and onto the plane. So the team is missing a whole night in the hotel and not everyone can sleep on the plane either."
