At the Deutschland Cup (7 to 10 November 2019 in Krefeld) the national team will compete with five debutants. DEB-ONLINE.DE spoke to the new national players in advance and asked them five questions.
Today Daniel Fischbuch from the Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers provides the answers. The 26-year-old attacker only left before the season Eisbären Berlin moved to Nuremberg and has scored 13 times so far (7 goals and 6 assists). Only yesterday he scored in the game against his old employer under the observation of national coach Toni Söderholm, who was at the Nürnberger Versicherung Arena to observe the game.
Tickets for Daniel Fischbuch’s debut are still available at deb-online.de/tickets .

First and foremost, I was of course very happy about this invitation and the great opportunity! I'm super happy with it Deutschland Cup to take part. For me personally it is the next step.
DEB-ONLINE.DE: What are your expectations for the first game?

The experience alone is worth a lot to me and I look forward to exchanging ideas with the coaches, the team and my teammates.
Your dream seat neighbor in the cabin?
Of course I know some guys from my time in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Nuremberg and from his youth. I am happy about everyone who is there and am happy to sit next to everyone. I like to be surprised!

I put everything on the right side first – i.e. skates, pads, etc.
