Defense chief seeks a new perspective: Jacob Kojun probably bids farewell to foxes – Sport

When he enters the field, it usually becomes embarrassing. At least for the enemies. Because Jacob Kojun is not someone who touches his opponent with baby gloves. It is not unreasonable that the Fuchs defense chief listed more overtime penalties in the Bundesliga figures than for scoring goals. Its primary task is to close the center, covering every gap as much as possible and facilitating the goalkeeper’s task – with the necessary physical effort if necessary.

But in the last Bundesliga games, the concrete shattered slightly, with the 2.04-meter giant usually touching a six-meter circle with his fellow humans. Against Erlangen, Flensburg and Mannheim, the Berliners had 29 wins or more, thus surpassing their usual average goals. “It was too much. But we must not forget how strong our defense was before the World Cup break. Now we have to fight back together as a team,” the 34-year-old says of his usual optimistic view. Attached to the will. “I can’t do parts halfway. I always put my whole heart into it,” he says.

It’s amazing how Kojun gets the energy to motivate himself 100 percent for every game, and also to run his team as an emotional machine. Now, while his team has to work in standard English weekly mode, he doesn’t get a good two weeks a day off. “It’s a disaster when you come into the hall tired without an audience, but it needs more strength, but we need it, and for that I am,” explains Grodd. He was impressed by the high levels.

For nearly six years he has worn the fox jersey, which can be heard loudly again and again in sports, excitedly pulling his arms up and threatening each other with his physical presence from time to time. It’s hard to get down, despite the ribs he injured last season, still standing on the field and throwing himself in every fight regardless of the pain.

“My heart will be here in Berlin”

However, this era seems to be approaching. “I think these will be my last four months with the foxes,” Kojun says with a bit of sadness. “I could have better imagined ending my life here, but the club still could not give me a reassurance.” So, the father of three was forced to look elsewhere. After all, her five-year-old son Nico needs to know where he will go to school soon, and his two boys need opportunities. There are already many offers to choose from – including in Germany.

No decision has been made yet. “I’ll see what’s best for the family,” Kozun looks ahead and immediately says: “My heart will stay here in Berlin.” With the number 10, he always gave everything for the club and did whatever he wanted and continued to manipulate it until he was allowed to play in the capital club.

This Sunday (1.30pm, Live on Sky) when the foxes show up at Kyle’s Osteihell, his qualities will definitely be needed once again. Expect energetic duels in the circle with German nationals Hendrik Beckler and Patrick Weinsk, while world star Sander Sachosen and comrade Tomakoz Duvanjack are coming to the back with their class.

“THW is a clear favorite. Maybe it’s a little easier for us. If we have a good day, we can pick up points,” said Kojun. Gave the balls through. “We can not buy it against the hinge. Nicholas Land, the best goalkeeper in the world, stands among the ranks,” the senior knows, and for his part he wants to defend Berlin and do everything again to get the Kaylers to oppose everything he has.
