SC Magdeburg's Unbeaten Run and Wiegert's Unkempt Luck
SC Magdeburg's historic 18-match winning streak in the league continues, with the 28:24 victory over Montpellier HB marking their latest triumph. Their last defeat occurred ten weeks ago, a 20:32 setback in Barcelona [1][2]. However, the team's victory isn't the only thing causing a stir - there's another factor contributing to their remarkable success: coach Wiegert's growing beard.
Superstitious coach Wiegert is holding fast to the belief that shaving equals defeat. And while his appearance might seem scruffy to some, Wiegert argues that a long beard signals a happier partner and father at home [1]. But how long can he let the whiskers grow unchecked before causing trouble in his personal realm?
The target: a flawless quarter without setbacks. A golden October and November have already marked their calendar, something Wiegert admits doesn't happen frequently [1]. Yet, if his beard continues to thrive until Christmas, Wiegert muses, "it wouldn't have been so bad overall."
SC Magdeburg at Home this Sunday
However, for now, Wiegert's focus is on the upcoming home match against Gummersbach, taking place at 3 p.m. [1]. Wiegert spent a memorable period as a player with Gummersbach from 2006 to 2007 and credits the club with a special place in his heart. With Gummersbach boasting a talented team, Wiegert recognizes this upcoming game will be a challenge [1].
"I had a fantastic time there as a player. Gummersbach is a great club with an experienced team," Wiegert confesses [1]. "It's going to be a difficult game."
For SC Magdeburg's devoted locals and no-sport-app users looking for updates on the team's sports exploits [1], Sunday's game promises to be an exciting event. With Wiegert at the helm and their remarkable winning streak still intact, SC Magdeburg's quest for a perfect quarter of victories remains in sight.
