The best comes to the end: SV Wehen Wiesbaden welcomes FC Bayern Munich at the end of the first DFB Cup round. The SVWW arena becomes jam -packed.
SV Wehen Wiesbaden pulled the big lot. One that you are waiting for year after year at the amateur clubs in Illertissen and Meuselwitz, in Pirmasens and Delmenhorst: FC Bayern Munich as opponents in the first DFB Cup round.
A duel of opposites
Although the SVWW, as a third division club, is of course a completely different number in competition than the clubs mentioned above, the differences with the FCB are striking. Not only when it comes to the title collection (eight-time Hesse versus 20-fold DFB Cup winner), but also the complete external impact.
On the one hand the large and controversial FC Bayern Munich, favorite club of most, hate club of many others. And on the other side of the SV Wehen Wiesbaden, for whom despite eager sponsorships from the Hankammer family and their company Brita, the people in Wiesbaden can really really be enthusiastic.
The Bayern visit as a premiere
When Bayern are guests on Wednesday, it is also clear, the arena in the Hessian state capital is of course sold out. “It is the century game for the club,” says SVWW coach Nils Döring. “FC Bayern has never been in the Brita Arena. It will be an incredible experience. We will experience a great day.”
It sounds almost a bit as it would sound during a visit to Delmenhorst or Illertissen: If you get ahead, you don’t lose a thought, the main thing is that the sun is shining and the cash register rings. The Hessen don’t want to do it that easily to the record champion.
The greatest possible declaration of war
“This is world-class level and of course we need a perfect day to create the sensation,” said goal-hedgeter Fatih Kaya to HR sports, but also made it clear: “We are already playing football to win.”
In the 3rd league, this has only succeeded moderately to SV Wehen Wiesbaden. After three competitive games there are a victory, a draw and a defeat. “We play good football, but there are ups and downs in our 90 minutes. We have to turn it off,” said left wing Ryan Johansson, who was trained in the youth at Bayern.
The chances of moving into the second round are of course low for the underdog from Wiesbaden. At “fifty-fifty” she put it grinning, just to add: “Fun aside: Our chance may be one percent. But we want to use that.” The SVWW cannot make a major declaration of war on FC Bayern.
