Captain Upmann: Return to roots at MTV Gifhorn full of emotions!

Gifhorn. On Sunday at 2 p.m. Football district league against his home club VfR Wilsche-Neubokel. The 27-year-old, who started his career at VfR and still lives in Wilsche, looks back on an eventful past. "I can still remember that we had a strong team and have also become a relay winner," says Upmann full of nostalgia.

The memories of the youth at VfR are alive, but Upmann has committed itself to MTV Gifhorn. "The connection to the MTV has continued to grown, which is simply my club," emphasizes the defensive player. Despite the attempts at the departure in the past, he remains loyal to MTV, even in difficult times. "The Mühlenstadt residents had recently relegated twice in a row, but I didn't think about leaving the club," explains Upmann. The captain never seriously considered the return to his roots, even if those responsible Wilscher keep talking about it jokingly.

The anticipation for the game

The first round of MTV Gifhorn with impressive 14 wins and a draw. "It's just fun to win again," said Upmann. The atmosphere in the neighborhood duels is electrifying, and the anticipation for the city derby against the SVG was noticeable. "The mood in the city derby was brutal," recalls the captain. On Sunday, MTV Gifhorn wants to continue the winning streak with a victory against Wilsche. "We have to be careful not to make a counterattack," warns Upmann, but remains optimistic: "I am in good spirits, should fit the daily form."
