Marko Grgic: Flensburg's new star in the title fight! Details about the northern derby!

What's going on in Flensburg? The 22-year-old handball player Marko Grgic has caused a sensation in the last few weeks and is bringing a breath of fresh air to SG Flensburg-Handewitt. After moving from Eisenach, he quickly made his mark and ensured that the club is at the top of the Daikin Handball Bundesliga with 18:2 points. This performance is particularly evident in his ten goals in two test matches against Iceland, which earns him a lot of approval. Sport Bild reports that Grgic gave some exciting insights into his thoughts before the upcoming northern derby against HSV Hamburg.

Before the important match on Sunday at 3 p.m., Grgic is optimistic and ready to prove himself again. He emphasizes the need to give his all in every training session and game, as he does not see himself as part of the national team. He has been part of the German Olympic squad for a year, but he is aware that he always has to fight against many competitors to maintain his place. “In critical phases of the game you have to act more cleverly,” said Grgic.

The first months and the fight for the medal

The transition from Eisenach to Flensburg wasn't easy for Grgic, but he is happy with his development. The change would not have been easy for him at the beginning, but the challenge of the new environment ultimately made him stronger. Despite initial concerns, he quickly integrated into the team and now receives a lot of trust from his coach. The injuries to some teammates have also given him additional opportunities to showcase himself.

Looking ahead to the upcoming European Championships in January, Grgic is confident that a medal is possible. He emphasizes the importance of health and team cohesion, which is essential in such an intense sporting time. Handball has become more and more important in recent years, the competition is strong, and Grgic sees many teams, including Magdeburg, the Füchse Berlin and Kiel, in the title race.

Homesickness and personal challenges

A topic that always concerns Grgic is homesickness. He especially misses his family, who supported him in sports. These emotional challenges cannot be underestimated, especially in the stressful world of professional sports. However, he remains focused and confident that the opportunities presented by the move will bear fruit in the long run.

The next big duel against HSV Hamburg will be crucial. Grgic and his team want to show that they are not only on the upward trend this season, but can also hold their own against strong opponents. The fight for the title is on and Grgic is ready to give it his all.
