#22 Eleni Huber, even though she is really young she plays very strategic and solid and is always good to score a goal as well. In a duel with the other players she can carry her position. Eleni also tries to stay calm on the field and can read the play of her opponents very well. She’s also very important for the team because she can solve different situations on the field with her cleverness and her smart way to start a good offence.

Who is your toughest player and why?

#36 Vera Gebert, because she has a good overview on the field. Additionally she is fast and always good for a surprise and a great teamplayer. Vera can play with anyone because she is really flexible and can solve any situation in a smart way. She’s an allrounder who can play in any position and the team can rely on her. Vera has a very good offence and defence play, so it’s very difficult for her opponents to read her play because she can switch easily in her system and is always there, where you won’t expect her.
