Before the match against Türkgücü München on the next matchday of the 3. Liga, Eintracht Braunschweig coach Michael Schiele spoke about the current condition of his team and the upcoming opponent. For a win, “a good balance “ is important.
For Eintracht, the current international break was even longer than for the other third division teams, due to the cancellation of the match against Würzburg on matchday 15, the Lions had not been on the pitch since the end of October, when they suffered a 1:2 defeat against Wiesbaden Nevertheless, things are currently looking good in the table, with Braunschweig in fourth place with a game in hand.
We have to bring in a good balance. With and against the ball.
The training sessions have been put to good use in recent weeks, Schiele said at the press conference before the home match against Türkgücü: “We trained well, even if it was difficult to keep the performance level high. The boys did well. The test match (0:1 defeat against Arminia Bielefeld,) was positive.”
Schiele sees a challenge in the opponents from Munich: “Türkgücü has a very high individual quality. Under the new coach, they play a high pressing game, which is what Hyballa is known for “, said the 43-year-old. “They can play football, we know that. We have to bring in a good balance, with and against the ball.” Especially the offensive players Sercan Sararer, Philip Türpitz and Petar Sliskovic are very dangerous, he said. Despite the quality of the opponents, a win is the clear goal. They want to score, and to do that they have to score goals up front and “stop making mistakes “ at the back, said Schiele.
