Daubner: "That makes the Germany Cup even better"Three Red Bulls with the DEB team in Landshut// NATIONAL TEAMThe 2023 Germany Cup will take place in Landshut from November 8 to 12, with Munich players Yasin Ehliz, Filip Varejcka and Max Daubner also taking part. For the latter, the tournament in national team kit once again has a special significance.

"It's a great honor to be able to represent Germany. I'm really looking forward to it," explained Daubner after his call-up by national coach Harold Kreis. In addition to "Daubi", Ehliz and Varejcka, who was called up on Monday, will also be part of the squad for the Germany Cup.

At the prestigious tournament, the DEB team will face Denmark, Austria and Slovakia (all games live on Magenta Sport). This year, the competition will take place in Landshut, which means a little trip down memory lane for our number 70.

"I played at youth level in Landshut and also played my first professional year. My family will be coming to the games, which makes the whole thing even nicer for me," explains the 26-year-old, who is generally looking forward to the atmosphere at the games. "The Germany Cup is a great tournament. We're playing in front of a home crowd, which is something special for everyone."

Planned as a defenseman in the DEB team

Daubner is adjusting to a slight change in his playing style. While he has once again been used as both a forward and a defenseman with the Red Bulls this season, he is scheduled to be a pure defensive player in the DEB team. The national team's system also differs from the style of play used by our coach Toni Söderholm. However, the versatile Daubner has not identified this as a problem for himself.

"Of course you always have to adapt a bit in a new team, but I think that suits me quite well," says the international, who wants to give his all for the DEB team in the upcoming games and recommend himself for further appearances.
