The 1st FC Nürnbergis on the ball on Friday evening at SV Sandhausen At the 16th place in the table Club coach Robert Klauß demands a top performance to get back on track.
No, the events at Sandhausen, who were recently badly affected by Corona and were not able to play in the away game at St. Pauli on 7 November, would not have had any influence on their own preparations. “The Corona situation at SVS is not relevant for us. The way they play football will not have changed “, said Klauß at the press conference on Thursday. As far as he was informed, all players would be available for the opponents.
The 36-year-old expects an opponent at the Hardtwald who “play very purposefully and with a lot of dynamism on the outside” as well as defend passionately and offer little space. Whether in defence or in attack, it is important for his team to “find solutions”, as in every game. Because Sandhausen will probably act from a wait-and-see position, they have set a focus in training and also practised the approach against a deep opponent in the test match against Altach (2:0), said Klauß.
Krauß prefers a luxury problem
Against the Austrians, Taylan Duman had attracted attention as a double goal scorer. Does the 24-year-old midfielder present his coach with a luxury problem after the half positions are actually occupied by Linus Tempelmann and Tom Krauß? “Better that way than the other way round,” smiled Klauß, who, despite his comment that “all three can play”, did not allow himself to be seen in the line-up cards.
It seems certain that Johannes Geis, Christopher Schindler and probably Krauß, who has survived his corona infection without symptoms, will play. The trio is “important for the structure “, said Klauß.
The FCN coach is not worried about a negative run after two recent defeats “at all “ Rather, he said, they had to be better than in Darmstadt and against Bremen and go to the performance limit. “It doesn’t matter whether we won or lost before: If we put in our best performance in Sandhausen, there is a good chance that we will win there. And that’s the goal, of course. “
