Frankfurt Galaxy has won the next win against a direct playoff competitor against the Hamburg Sea Devils. But the game showed one thing above all: the European League of Football is slowly reaching its physical limits.
In principle, the footballers of the Frankfurt Galaxy in the European League of Football (ELF) had little to complain about on Sunday: quarterback Jakeb Sullivan celebrated his comeback in front of 6,500 spectators against the Hamburg Sea Devils after an injury break, the opponent from Hamburg was defeated by a last second -Field goal defeated by kicker Ryan Rimmler and fullback Leon Helm proposed to his Victoria at the coin toss before the game, which the national football player accepted (congratulations!). But if you think that after the fifth win in a row everything is fine with the Men in Purple, you are very wrong.
Sullivan not 100 percent fit yet
The Hessians’ offensive line has been full of holes like Swiss cheese for a long time due to injuries. New signing Oliver Landström couldn’t change that. The Galaxy only signed the Swedish center during the week. Despite the reinforcements, the visitors’ strong defensive line broke through again and again, bringing Sullivan down five times.
The problem with this: After his injury, the American is not at 100 percent, as head coach Thomas Kösling admitted. And the Hessians want to avoid another failure of their leader as much as possible. The worries are big enough as it is.
“The level is too hard now”
The Galaxy plays physically at the limit. The injury misery is so great that the footballers have even reduced their training intensity. “We’re not wearing any pads at the moment. It’s all without contact because we don’t need any more contact injuries,” said the head coach, who sees a limit of what is possible in the ELF. Sea Devils quarterback Moritz Maack reported that Hamburg has the same problems.
In an ever-improving league, there simply isn’t enough time to regenerate because most players have a day job during the week. “We are on the edge of what you can do with amateurs and semi-professional players on the level. The level is too hard now,” warns Kösling. The league, which wants to continue to grow in the coming years, must quickly find a solution to the injury plight.
