Before the game at Schweinfurt 05 (Tuesday, from 7 p.m. Live), the mood at the third division leader MSV Duisburg could hardly be better. To date, the zebras have remained in all five games of the season without loss of points and thus cracked several records: the club never started better in the 3. League, one climber never got more than three victories in a row and a third division team with that five never started. In the west, quite a few dream of a march, as in the past of teams such as Münster, Ulm or Elversberg.
In the three German professionals, Duisburg is now the only club that is still without loss of dot. According to the team of coach Dietmar Hirsch, the team of coach Dietmar Hirsch is also at the forefront in the international form table of all first to third parties. No wonder that an euphoria is developing around the traditional club these days that makes many of great past times dream. “I horny myself and I hope that the boys will also get on it. So we play into a intoxication,” said left -back Can Coskun recently asked about the positive series.
The MSV also favors and with a wide chest in the duel of the promoters on Tuesday evening. With Patrick Sussek, Youngster Jan-Simon Symalla and Thilo Töpken, the team represents three actors in the top 10 of the 3rd division scorer ranking. In particular, there are many hopes for the Symalla, which was courted in summer, with a view of the future. Coach Hirsch recently attested to the talent that it “has been in everything. (…) Other players can do a slice of cutting off without name. And by that I mean seasoned players who have already experienced something,” said the 53-year-old.
It is also the attitude in which the coach still sees room for improvement in one or the other despite positive results: “New players first have to understand what mentality is here. We expect Ruhrpott football here. Sometimes I lack a bit,” Hirsch formulated his expectations at the end of last week. In summer, the MSV had only increased with transfer -free access, in terms of squad value, 5.85 million euros can be found in the lower third of the league.
MSV talent Symalla: Situation “For everyone in the development top”
Symalla recently formulated the secret of the Duisburg upwind as follows: “I think that’s just the big general here. The team, the team of coaches – just fits together. (…) You just notice that a lot more things are successful in the game. There is only a good mood in training, there is hardly anything negative. That also helps young players like me again.” The most recent statement by managing director Michael Preetz, “that the descent did not hurt the MSV Duisburg at least on the distance,” also emphasized the youngster: “The descent was something negative for the club, but as a young player, it brought me a lot. I was able to collect my first missions in professional football in the regional league at the time. And I think it was a good solution for everyone in the end with the direct Ascent happened. “
Around 800 away fans from Duisburg are also expected on Tuesday evening in Schweinfurt. While Coach Hirsch, with a view to the interaction between the team and supporters, was happy to speak of “controlled euphoria”, defender Coskun formulated a little more clearly: “What we are tearing off, together in the city with the fans, you just have to experience that.” And Symalla also raved after the international break: “For many it was already a highlight last year. Not everyone played at home in front of 20,000 spectators a week before. But this season is a bit different with the long away trips. It was of course enormous that there was more than 1000 spectators in Regensburg. Fleckstein, which has been here for six years, also mentions that he has not yet experienced such a atmosphere here.
It remains to be seen whether the latter can be implemented in reality in the 3rd league known for its balance. The fact is: With the games in Schweinfurt and the TSV Havelse, who is also raised, there are now two directional games, then larger calibers with Ingolstadt, Saarbrücken, Rostock and TSV 1860 are waiting for the zebras.
