EHF European League
Toulouse end Berlin’s winning streak
The thriller was close until the end, but in the end Fenix Toulouse could celebrate two crucial points and boosted their hopes to proceed to the Last 16: After Füchse Berlin had won all previous six matches and already confirmed their Last 16 place, the two-time EHF Cup winners stumbled in France. Berlin’s comeback came too late, as some of their stars like Lasse Anderson lacked the usual fire power. Having eight points on their account, Fenix have consolidated their third position - and can book their ticket already by next week.
We wanted to show our real face, to be strong in defense, to be clever in attack, and don’t lose too many easy balls. Tonight everything works, opens the defense system. We knew that players of Berlin have a lot of qualities, individual qualities and they are very dangerous. We wanted to put them far away and push them to take hard decisions and hard situations for shots. It works tonight and we looking forward in the competition.
