Top struggle awaited: TTC Schwalbe Bergneustadt meets Saarbrücken

The TTC Schwalbe Bergneustadt is heading for an exciting challenge in the table tennis Bundesliga. The climber had recently celebrated a pleasant start to the season with a 3-1 win against the TTC Zugbrücke Grenzau. After this successful start, Kanak Jha, the outstanding player of the team, already looks forward to the upcoming duel against 1. FC Saarbrücken. "If we want a chance, we have to play better than today," commented the 24-year-old American.

The match against Saarbrücken takes place on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. The challenge could not be greater, because Saarbrücken is considered one of the strongest teams in the league. In their first game, the Saarlanders won 3-2 against the promoted TTC Oe Bad Homburg, who did without some of their top players. Nevertheless, they were able to score the points, which underlines their strength.

Bergneustadt looks forward to a strong competition

Heinz Duda, the sports manager of Schwalbe Bergneustadt, takes a realistic attitude and expects the Saarbrücken to be in the best line -up. "Saarbrücken will not take any risk against us and run with a full chapel," said Duda with a view to the strength of the opponent. This assessment makes him fear that his team could quickly fall behind. "We will lose 0: 3 or 1: 3. There will be no more in it," he added resigned.

However, not everyone in the Bergneustädter team can be guided by this pessimistic forecast. Benedikt Duda, a team of the team, is more optimistic and asks rhetorically: "Why shouldn't we annoy the Champions League winner a little?" This somewhat provocative question demonstrates the courage and fighting spirit of the team.

Adrien Rassenfosse, who plays again due to the violation of Romain Ruiz, is also combative. He heard about the history that Bergneustadt in Saarbrücken was often inferior. "Then it is not the case for the first time this time," emphasizes Racial Froßen, thereby drawing a line between the past and the future possibilities of his team. If Bergneustadt can continue its rising trend, this could actually lead to a surprise.

Trainer Frederik Duda is also optimistic after the opening win. "We have nothing to lose and can play freely," he says, thus conveying the message that his team can approach the matter carefree. After all, an inadequate spirit could be the key to success, especially when Kanak Jha calls its shape out of the previous game. In this case, the forecast of the sports maintenance could actually turn upside down and he could have to wait longer for his dinner.

The upcoming duel not only promises sporting tension, but also stands for the courage and the incessant fighting spirit of the TTC Schwalbe Bergneustadt. With the right attitude, the encounter on Saturday could bring an important turn for the team that wants to establish itself in the Bundesliga.
