Neuman: "It's going to be a tough, physical fight"

The Stuttgart Surge are only one step away from reaching the ELF Championship Game in their home city. But before dreaming of Stuttgart, Head Coach Jordan Neuman and his team must face the Munich Ravens in a challenging Semi Final matchup (Sunday, 15:00 CET).

Focus on the present

Coach Neuman knows how important it is to stay concentrated. "Of course, we all dream of playing in the final in Stuttgart, but first, we must concentrate fully on the Munich Ravens. They are an extremely strong opponent. We know them very well, and they know us very well too."

This is already the third meeting between Surge and Ravens this season, with both teams familiar with each other’s strengths and weaknesses. That makes preparation and execution even more important.

"Small details can make the difference"

Neuman expects a hard battle with small details deciding the outcome. "It’s going to be a tough, physical fight where small details can make all the difference. That’s why it’s important that we go into this Semi Final fully focused."

Both teams have shown all season that they can dominate on defense and create explosive plays on offense. That balance promises a close and intense duel in Unterhaching.

Hoping for fan support

The Surge Head Coach also highlighted the role of fan support. "We hope for the support of our Stuttgart and Baden-Württemberg fans. Against Madrid, we saw the big impact that loud, positive fan support can have. We want to feel that in Unterhaching, too."
