FEATURE: Füchse Berlin’s new Austrian arrival is optimistic that his side can make it to the EHF Finals
This phone call changed the life of Robert Weber. He was just having a short “home break” in Austria, when the phone rang. Stefan Kretzschmar, German handball legend and now the sports director of Füchse Berlin, was at the other end of the line. On the previous day, Füchse right wing Hans Lindberg broke his hand in the European League match at Irun - and the next day, 15 February, the transfer window for German Bundesliga was closing. “We want you, we need you - now!” Something like this was the short version of this phone call.
