EISEL AS TOP SUBMITTER
Michel Abt was obviously happy with the two points, but above all with a “super team performance” from his team. The “mega-intensive” preparation for the match against the traditional club, whose new coach Igor Vori relied on a 5-1 defense with Finn Wullenweber as an “outpost”, paid off. Wullenweber, and Adrian Kammlodt meanwhile, narrowed it down for Eulen playmaker Sebastian Trost, but Marc-Robin Eisel opened up space down the left, which he used for six assists and one goal all by himself. Notable was the good defensive performance of the Owls, who allowed only nine field goals in the first 30 minutes. TV left winger Florian Eisenträger used five seven metres. Jannek Klein (three out of four) convinced with his dynamism, that he met an effective counterpart in Stefan Salger (two out of two) on the right midfield. With 41 goals, Klein leads the list of home scorers. One constant: Captain Max Haider (three out of four), meanwhile replaced by Sergey Gorpishin at the circle. Important as an oasis of peace and as a troublemaker: Jan Remmlinger (two out of three). “Short-time worker” Tim Schaller scored his goal.
THE LION EXCEEDS ZACHARIA
The owl collective worked. It started with goalkeepers and ended up with left wingers. Žiga Urbič made eight saves in 42 minutes, Matej Ašanin saved six shots in 18 minutes and scored into an empty net in the 52nd minute when the visitor brought on the seventh player on the field for 32:24. “We had an outstanding left wing,” Michel Abt praised Lion Zacharias’ spectacular performance. Löwen’s 19-year-old loanee converted all of his four seven-metre shots in various ways, scored eleven goals from 13 shots and now has 32 goals to his credit. And he grabs in defense.
“JULE” – DEFENSE FORCE
“We won with a good team performance,” said Julius Meyer-Siebert. The 22-year-old, on loan from SC DHfK Leipzig since January 2022, scored seven goals in eight attempts and was once again a mainstay in defence. The 2.06-metre-tall left half, who almost completely missed training due to a long-term thigh injury, is still not 100 percent fit and pain-free. “It’s nice to be able to train almost pain-free again, but I still have problems,” said Meyer-Siebert, who was also very determined, courageous and self-confident in attack. “I don’t like to praise coaches publicly, but we were very well prepared for the opponent,” said the man with the number 13. His coach thinks highly of the “fine handball player,” which is all ‘other than finished sees its development. Michel Abt: “Julius is a powerful defender, one of the best defenders. He runs an excellent second wave when he loses his rhythm.” He should continue to be “crafted with care”.
THANK YOU DOCTOR, THANK YOU DOCTOR!
Immediately after Jannek Klein’s 10:5 in the 15th minute, the game was stopped due to a medical emergency. Paramedics and a doctor quickly provided first aid and the spectator was rushed to hospital to cheers from players and spectators wishing him a speedy recovery. A relieved spokesperson for the hall announced the good news: the fan is feeling better again. It was a nice gesture on the part of Thomas “Stübi” Stüber to spontaneously thank the helpers and the doctor for the quick help.
SEE YOU WITH “HOPE”
On Saturday (19:30) the owls compete again in the game at the TV Hüttenberg. “A narrow, small hall gets loud – and even louder because of our fans,” says “Jule” Meyer-Siebert, who is delighted that the fan bus is arriving in Hüttenberg. “I feel fit, I’m in the mood,” emphasizes Alexander Falk. The right winger made four out of six, especially his 9:5 goal after an accurate long pass from goalkeeper Urbič. In Hüttenberg there is a meeting with Jannik Hofmann. The left winger played for the Owls for four years until last summer. In training there were countless duels between Falk and Pascal Durak against Hofmann. “I’m still in regular contact with ‘Hope.’ I’m looking forward to the duel, friendship needs to rest for 60 minutes,” says Falk, who is only too happy to continue the successful streak. It’s important to adapt to Hüttenberger’s 3-2-1 system.
