No matter if it is about football, beach volleyball or even children´s games, the Frenchman hates to lose and he ready to give eveyrthing for the victory, even his life. ´I am capable to die for my team´, explained once Karabatic and this sounded not exactly surprisingly. Who knows Kiel´s Left Back player , he is aware that this sentence is the pure thruth: there is no handball player in the world who gives everything on the court in the way that he does it. This commitment brought him among the players the resonant and respectable nickname ´The Machine´ [...]. "
