Last week the playoffs started and every team is trying hard to qualify for the national championship on July 7th. In Cologne top seeded Langholz Lindenthal find themselves not in a comfortable position after the group stage and will try to improve when it comes to the big games.
In Dusseldorf favorite Mila GF finished second in the group stage and is curious which team they will meet in the last sixteen. With the most goals scored and the less conceded the players are looking forward to the next matches.
Kaiserslautern is one of the most contested leagues and it is not clear by now who will go all the way. “Ochs Express look pretty fit”, says league promoter Thomas Mika, “but in mini football, you never know. Anything can happen.”
Defending champion ‘Das Weisse Ballett’, local heroes from Goettingen, see themselves also as a candidate for the European Championship. “We had a really good start,” says skipper Marc Mueller, ”and sometimes players think it is very easy. But I won’t stop telling them: Don’t fade!”
It is a long road to Chisinau but every team fights hard to represent Germany in September.
