Serradilla says “I felt at home right away” before Hummel Cup

“The first few weeks were very good for me. I’m really happy to be back here in Magdeburg – I immediately felt at home again. I just like the city, the SCM team is great and the fans are always good to us. There’s so much love, that’s great!” reports Antonio Serradilla.

The Spaniard has been part of the SCM squad again since this year, after playing for HBL competitor TVB Stuttgart in the previous season. Previously, he played for the Green-Reds in the 2024/25 season and won the EHF Champions League with the club. With the Hummel Cup, he will now return to the GETEC Arena on Tuesday.

“I’m really looking forward to this day and to running into the hall again as part of the home team,” says the Spaniard. “It’s only a test match, but I know what can happen in this hall. The atmosphere is always special. I still remember it well. I missed that.”

Of course, the Hummel Cup should not only be about the atmosphere. Coach Bennet Wiegert’s team wants to convince on the pitch and take home a win against GWD Minden (7 p.m., live stream via volksstimme.de).

“To hold our own against us in this hall here in Magdeburg is not easy for anyone. We’ll all go one better,” Serradilla looks ahead. “We are working hard for this success. We’ve already done a lot in pre-season – physically and handball-wise – and we’ll continue to give everything for that. I think we’re on the right track.”
