Frustration was yesterday. Barely three months after their historically bad exit from the bundesliga, the soccer world is back in order for spvgg greuther furth one tier below.
Two opening victories in the lower league, one success in the DFB cup – and on 3. The summit meeting with the 1. FC kaiserslautern to. "It’s going to be a monday night floodlit game," says furth coach frank kramer, looking forward to the top match on 3. Matchday of the 2. Bundesliga.
The franks are still without a goal against, having achieved the feat of not winning a single game at home during their brief interlude in the bundesliga. Nevertheless, coach kramer is not yet completely satisfied with his newly formed team. "It is clear that not everything is running smoothly yet, that not everything is fitting together. The positive thing is that we were still able to deliver the results," he said on "franken fernsehen. However, this also brought a new start in the bundesliga for their opponents lautern, who are now making a new attempt at the bundesliga after dropping out of the relegation playoffs.
Furth and lautern mastered their compulsory tasks in the DFB cup, but fortuna dusseldorf disgraced itself. "That’s completely unacceptable," scolded sports director wolf werner after the loss to regional league team SC wiedenbruck. Coach mike buskens’ team can make amends as early as friday in the home match against 1860 munchen. Also for the FC st. Pauli, which third-division team preuben munster knocked out of the cup, is forced to pay only league. "We’re out of the competition and out of the game," coach michael frontzeck stressed before the home game against arminia bielefeld.
Cup bad, league good. Like leaders furth and lautern, erzgebirge aue has two wins to its credit, but in the cup competition it suffered a bitter defeat at the hands of third-league team vfl osnabruck on the weekend. "Against aalen we want to give the right answer to the cup defeat. The six points from the first two games show that we can do it," said keeper sascha kirschstein.
The also had up-and-comers 1. FC koln likes it, but after two draws, the "geibbocke" are still waiting for their first win in league play. "It’s about being on top at the end, not after the first two matchdays," says koln’s new signing daniel halfar calmly ahead of saturday’s tough game at last-place SC paderborn.
Like paderborn, FSV frankfurt still without any points. This should change on friday in the home match against vfl bochum. FC ingolstadt also hopes for first success in league on saturday against karlsruher SC.
