Even though the twins have a very close relationship, a little teasing beforehand was of course inevitable. The day before the match, Klausi asked his brother how nervous he was. And the message clearly had an effect.
“Beating my brother tastes twice as good, of course. It's always fun to win, but when you can tease him a little bit, it's even more fun,” beamed our number 15. “But ultimately, it's a normal win like any other, so you can't read too much into it,” Heigl added.
“I've worked hard for it”
In any case, with his strong performances, the forward is currently an important factor in the Red Bulls' current run of success. After spending most of this season gaining playing experience for ESV Kaufbeuren in the DEL2 on a development license, Heigl has established himself in the Red Bulls' lineup alongside captain Patrick Hager in recent weeks.
“It was difficult for me at the beginning because I didn't play that much in Munich. But I worked hard to get more ice time,” he said. “I just have to continue to establish myself and show what I can do. It always depends on what you make of it yourself. Even when things aren't going well, you have to stick with it and believe in yourself.”
