Wie f\u00fchlst du dich dabei?<\/strong><br>Mathias: Es ist eine gro\u00dfe Ehre. Es ist die gr\u00f6\u00dfte pers\u00f6nliche Leistung, die man in diesem Sport erreichen kann, daher bin ich nat\u00fcrlich sehr stolz. Ich h\u00e4tte nie gedacht, dass dies f\u00fcr mich im Alter von 25 Jahren m\u00f6glich sein k\u00f6nnte \u2013 es ist ein bisschen schwer zu begreifen.<br><br><strong>Sie sind ein wichtiger Spieler f\u00fcr D\u00e4nemark und die F\u00fcchse Berlin \u2013 was sind Ihre gr\u00f6\u00dften sportlichen Ziele?<\/strong><br>Mathias: Im Sport geht es darum, Troph\u00e4en zu gewinnen, und nat\u00fcrlich tr\u00e4umen wir sowohl in Berlin als auch in der d\u00e4nischen Nationalmannschaft davon. Ich glaube, alle Sportler haben ein besonderes Auge darauf, was diesen Sommer in Paris passiert. Eine olympische Goldmedaille ist die h\u00f6chste Auszeichnung, die man als Sportler erreichen kann, daher liegt der Fokus derzeit auf den Olympischen Spielen in Paris diesen Sommer.<br><br><strong>Sie haben einmal gesagt, die EHF EURO 2024 sei das beste Turnier aller Zeiten gewesen. K\u00f6nnen Sie uns bitte erkl\u00e4ren, warum?<\/strong><br>Mathias: F\u00fcr mich war es das beste Turnier wegen der Hallen und der Zuschauer. Egal, wo wir gespielt haben, die Hallen waren voll. Ich finde, Handball hat das verdient, und es ist auch ein Zeichen daf\u00fcr, dass sich Handball weiterentwickelt und immer beliebter wird.<br><br><strong>Du hast k\u00fcrzlich auf deinem Instagram-Kanal ein Bild von dir als Kind gepostet, auf dem du ein PUMA-Trainingsoutfit tr\u00e4gst. Wie w\u00fcrdest du deine Verbindung zu unserer Marke beschreiben? Was bedeutet PUMA deiner Meinung nach?<\/strong><br>Mathias: Ich war schon immer ein PUMA-Fan. Seit meiner Kindheit habe ich in PUMA-Sportschuhen gespielt und PUMA-Trainingskleidung getragen. F\u00fcr mich war PUMA immer die erste Wahl \u2013 wegen der Qualit\u00e4t und den coolen Farben.<br><br><strong>Wann wusstest du, dass du professioneller Handballspieler werden willst? Wolltest du das schon immer?<\/strong><br>Mathias: Ich wollte immer Fu\u00dfballer werden, wie alle anderen auch, musste mich aber der Tatsache stellen, dass ich darin nicht so gut war. Gl\u00fccklicherweise entschied ich mich mit 15 Jahren f\u00fcr Handball, aber erst als ich bei der Weltmeisterschaft 2021 in \u00c4gypten, meinem ersten Turnier, meinen Durchbruch schaffte, wurde mir klar, dass ich die Chance hatte, Profi zu werden.<br><br><em>Vielen Dank f\u00fcr deine Zeit und das Interview, Mathias.

Fortunately, I chose handball when I was 15, but it wasn\\u0026rsquo;t until I made my breakthrough at the 2021 World Championships in Egypt, my first tournament, that I realized I had the chance to become a professional.\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;em\\u0026gt;Thank you for your time and the interview, Mathias.
