Fabian Wiede can’t resist the small jibe. In the training centre of the foxes Berlin, he is sitting at the neighboring table in a team of colleagues and to hear, as Paul Drux for a report round traces his medical file. Shoulder injury, knee surgery, ligament surgery, here is a small procedure and there is also. For a 23-Year-old Drux has really been through a lot, but as it is: Who has the damage need not worry for the ridicule. Re involved in the conversation and asks: « How now? That was all?“ Shortly after that, laughter breaks out. Drux and Wiede, the poster children of the foxes youth Academy, look at it for a moment and laugh out loud. Not, of course, was meant quite seriously, the spell.

in terms of melee a few weeks ago, as the stages were missing nine professionals with serious injuries, the mood at the Berlin Handball-Bundesliga, before the home game against SC DHfK Leipzig on Sunday (16 at Max-Schmeling-Halle and live on Sky) again and solved. For Drux Betebet and Wiede, the thing is gone just good times: Until Recently, the acute danger, that the Berlin backcourt players in the world Cup in Germany and Denmark (10. to 27. January) injured would miss. Since Monday is clear: they Both belong to the extended squad of national coach Christian Prokop and hopes to play a Central role in the home may make the world Cup.

Prokop has called the Re-recently, a « street handball »

On paper, the competition for Re is much greater than for Drux. For his Position in the right rear area of the Federal coach has called five candidates; at least two of them will not survive the final Cut just before the start of the tournament. « But I’m very optimistic that I’m on it, » says Re. Apparently, the coach of Procopius in the small, non-public circle has sent the appropriate signals.

the Recovery has over its competitors a big advantage: He can apart from his Position in the right rear area were also take to return the space center, at that position i.e., the starting point for any structured attack. Normally left-handed in volleyball are a lot of to rare species, and places them on the Central playmaker – and Stripping-draw position. The last left-handed world-class, was in charge of the national team, the game design, was a certain Martin Schwalb, who has ended his career 20 years ago.

« My advantage is that I’m not a pure Shooter, » says Re – but a team player who has always an eye for better-positioned colleagues. Federal coach Prokop has called the Re-recently, a « street handball » – and was explicitly meant as a praise. Recovery is characterized by a certain fearlessness combined with playful creativity and a great sense of responsibility: If a game of the foxes Pointed on the button, he is often the one who takes the decisive, last throw. The former foxes coach and thinker Dagur Sigurdsson recognized cross recognized this potential as the first and tested the Re-years ago-back room-mid – a decision that could prove to be for Fabian Wiede as a perspective is extremely valuable.
