Cup anticipation at ZFC Meuselwitz: second division Karlsruhe comes to Zipsendorf. The regional league is full of anticipation and hopes for the miracle. What is certain is that the cash registers will ring.
Of course there are live broadcasts, slow motion and player banks that reveal every smallest detail about a second division professional. The Meuselwitz head coach Georg-Martin Leopold wanted to listen live against Karlsruher SC on Sunday (17.30 p.m. and in the ticker in the Spio app and at Sport-im-osten.de), but nothing to chance with goalkeeper Roman Linke, around 500 kilometers, around the trophy opponent against Prussia Münster. (3: 2) to take a close look.
Leopold about the KSC: “Already another world”
What he saw was impressive. “It is another world of the whole environment and also of the game pace. The first 20 minutes were extremely extremely. The KSC started with four points from two games and in good early form. It is possible that some people think to defeat the little Meuselwitzer in a walk – maybe there is no shortage of the grätsche and one or two sprints on the last bite.
Meuselwitz coach Georg Martin Leopold is based on a stable defensive in the cup against Karlsruhe.
With a stable defensive to a surprise?
Leopold also relies on it. “I hope that you may underestimate us a tick and that we can drive one or two switches,” said the ZFC coach. It will not be a walk for the KSC in the Meuselwitz “fortress”. The ZFC is considered a robust, compact team – on the last On Sunday, regional league champion Lok Leipzig had a long time off, in the end won just 1-0 by a magic goal from a distance from a distance.
The ZFC will also need a stable defensive against the KSC – and a little luck. ZFC captain René Eckardt, who was already allowed to sniff with Carl Zeiss Jena DFB cup air, is full of anticipation. “We are overjoyed that it worked and we are now harvesting the reward for the last season. We don’t want to give them some somehow, but make it as difficult as possible.”
Meuselwitz again in the DFB Cup after 14 years
With a 3: 1 victory in the Thuringia Cup final The ZFC had secured participation in the DFB Cup against the association league at the Fahner Höhe. After 14 years again. The fact that you had to wait for so long also surprised club president Hubert Wolf: “We thought the years before now and then ripe for a cup title.”
It is all the better that it worked now. The anticipation is also huge at the club boss. “You are on the big football map, only one day, but it’s something great for the region, for fans, for the members.” So shortly after the draw, the joy was still a bit behavior, “because we can’t do so much here in the region with the KSC”.
A big name would have preferred the ZFC at first, but this opinion changed than the information on what additional stands had cost to flutter into the house. “We knew immediately that we couldn’t have afforded it at all, because every place is more expensive than what you can redeem,” said Wolf.
Cup money should flow in the sports facility and the overall club
Now the ZFC plays in its jewelry box, between 4,000 and 4,500 fans will be there. There is a lot stuck together with the TV money. “There will be a six -digit amount,” says Wolf. Investments should not be made in the team’s squad, but in the sports facility and the entire club.
The fact that the ZFC Meuselwitz also strengthens is not excluded for Wolf. It is still “some air in the budget”.
