SV Wehen Wiesbaden’s second division appearance against Elversberg was bad. The Hessians are in a bit of a crisis. For coach Markus Kauczinski this is not a problem before the cup game against RB Leipzig. He wants to draw motivation from it.
Before the Home game against SV Elversberg SV Wehen Wiesbaden only got one point from the last three games. After the game against the fellow promoted team from Saarland, it was one point from four games. On closer inspection, the SVWW has the first small dent of the season – and in exactly this situation has to start late in the DFB Cup (Wednesday, 8.45 p.m./live on Erste and in the stream on sportschau.de). The opponent: title holders RB Leipzig. But anyone who thinks that the wrong opponent is coming at the wrong time is not thinking like SVWW coach Markus Kauczinski. Because he wants to draw strength from his own dissatisfaction.
“We’re actually happy that things are moving on straight away, that we don’t have to endure such a bad game,” emphasized the coach of the second division team on Monday. His team has against Elversberg “didn’t perform well the first time”he explained. “We were still a little disappointed.” But only briefly. The English Week makes it possible. “We talked about it, classified the game and checked it off.”

Kauczinski: “The roles are clearly assigned”
The key word for the cup hit against Leipzig: defiant reaction. With the courage and anger of disappointment, the sensation should be perfected against the overpowering Saxons in front of their home crowd. “We’re facing a real challenge. We’re a small figure compared to Leipzig. The roles are clearly assigned,” emphasized Kauczinski. “But the anticipation is there.”
Of course, he also knows what ingredients are needed to make this small opportunity come true. On the one hand: commitment. “This is a game where you have to be at your limit.” On the other hand: be ice cold. “We won’t get many chances, so we have to take advantage of them.” Both will be needed urgently. With the power of your own dissatisfaction, that could be possible.

Stritzel – Angha, Mathisen, Carstens – Mockenhaupt, Fechner, Heußer, Rieble – Lee – Froese, Prtajin
