SC Magdeburg before the Club World Cup: Coach Wiegert demands maximum performance!
SC Magdeburg is facing an exciting week that could potentially see the team crowned the Club World Cup. Within a few days, coach Bennet Wiegert's team will play two important games that will not only ensure progress in the Champions League, but also bring the big dream of winning the World Cup within reach. How MDR reports, Magdeburg has its first game on Saturday against the California Eagles (USA) at 2:30 p.m. The match against Sharjah SC from the United Arab Emirates follows a day later, also at 2:30 p.m.
Wiegert was optimistic, but also sees the challenge in these encounters. “Participating in the Club World Cup is a great adventure that cannot be taken for granted,” he emphasizes. To make this dream come true, you have to win four games. With a convincing performance in the Champions League season, where the team recently defeated Wisla Plock 27:26, the SCM remains in first place in Group B and has a good chance of successfully mastering the group phase. However, the game against Plock, which took place in the Getec Arena, also showed weaknesses, as the team almost gave away points after a comfortable 22:16 lead. Nevertheless, goalkeeper Sergey Hernández was crucial to the narrow victory with 15 saves and was voted man of the match Sports picture reported.
Champions League group stage
Wiegert is aware of the strong competition and has great respect for teams like FC Barcelona and Veszprem. A clean slate in the Champions League is certainly encouraging, but the greetings from Magdeburg emphasize that there is still a lot of work ahead of the team to successfully complete the season.
Will SC Magdeburg actually come back from this exciting week as newly crowned club world champions? Preparations are in full swing and the fans can look forward to seeing whether the team can overcome the high hurdle of internationality and thus attract attention not only in their own country but also worldwide.
