Sunday, 1:30 p.m.: Striving For Points in Munich

[IMG: https://www.fck.de/typo3temp/pics/1860Muenchen_FCK_cb3feaba2a.jpg]

The team fought to the last man and made any effort, but Werder Bremen, the reigning champions of the DFB Cup, were too strong in the end. However, on Sunday, November 1, 2009, the Red Devils are facing their next challenge at the Allianz Arena in Munich where three points are at stake again.

Both the Red Devils and 1860 Munich were eliminated in their mid-week DFB Cup matches against renowned Bundesliga first division clubs. The Bavarian Lions lost 0-3 to Schalke 04 on Wednesday. However, unlike 1. FC Kaiserslautern, 1860 Munich did not make the wished for start to the new season. Head coach Ewald Lienen and the club’s representatives aimed high in advance of the new campaign and made numerous changes to the squad. Even though with the Bender twins Sven (Borussia Dortmund) and Lars (Bayer Leverkusen) as well as Fabian Johnson (VfL Wolfsburg), three promising players have left TSV 1860 Munich, more than ten new signings have joined the club in advance of the new season. Instead of solely pinning their hopes on players from the own youth department, like TSV 1860 Munich did in the past, the new team consists of a mix of young and well-experienced players.

As summer signing Gabor Kiraly (FC Burnley) has replaced the ten year younger Philipp Tschauner, the most obvious example for this change of style is the position of the goalkeeper. While other new signings like Antonio Rukavina (Borussia Dortmund), Alexander Ludwig (FC St. Pauli), Aleksandar Ignjovski (OFK Belgrad) and Kenni Cooper (FC Dallas) are part of Lienen’s first-choice line-up, 1860’s head coach still is in search of his favorites for other positions. The performance record of 1860’s established players shows quite different results. While team captain Benjamin Lauth tops the club’s scoring list with four goals, earning him a place in the first-choice line-up, old hand Daniel Bierofka has not managed to make an appearance during the new campaign because he underwent groin surgery. Former FCK team captain Mathieu Beda is still fighting for a place in the first-choice eleven.

Unlike Breda, Marco Kurz left TSV 1860 Munich to join 1. FC Kaiserslautern in summer. Since Kurz has played for the Bavarian Lions before he took over as 1860’s head coach, he knows the opponent very well. Nevertheless, his main focus of attention certainly is on his own team, which he wants to bring back on track again after two successive defeats. Even if Ilicevic is plagued by groin problems, he is likely to pull on the FCK jersey on Sunday. Also Sidney Sam, who has been kept out by thigh problems in Bremen, will be strengthening the team again on Sunday. Those players, who have pulled on their FCK jerseys in Wednesday’s DFB Cup match against Bremen, came home to Kaiserslautern without any injuries and wounds. Consequently, only the long-term injured players Sascha Kotysch and Manuel Hornig will be absent in Munich on Sunday.

The support of the loyal fans of FCK continues to be overwhelming. 1,500 fans have joined the Red Devils on their mid-week journey to Bremen, offering brilliant support for their team. In Munich, Marco Kurz and his men can look forward to the support of twice as many fans. To travel from one end of the republic to the other within only five days, really requires and shows “Herzblut”. The Red Devils will do everything to reward their loyal fans on Sunday.

60 gegen Lautern heißt es kommenden Sonntag in der Allianz-Arena in München. Um 13.30 Uhr beginnt das Traditionsduell, in dem für beide Teams gilt, die Pokalniederlage aus den Köpfen zu bekommen und in der Spur zu bleiben. Die Münchner stehen momentan mit 11 Punkten auf Platz 14 der Tabelle und sind gehörig unter Zugzwang. Das Gleiche gilt für unsere Roten Teufel. Nach 2 Niederlagen in Folge, mit 0-5 Toren, heißt es cool zu bleiben und weiter an sich zu glauben. Dann werden wir auch wieder zu alter Stärke finden. So gut wie Bremen wird diese Saison wahrscheinlich niemand mehr gegen uns spielen Man darf ein umkämpftes und enges Spiel erwarten, in dem der FCK hoffentlich als Sieger den Platz verlässt

//edit SaZa: Kommenden Mittwoch ist Lautern zu Gast im Bremer Weserstadion. Das Viertelfinale des DFB-Pokals steht an. Anpfiff 19 Uhr. Nach der Heimpleite gegen Düsseldorf, fällt es einem schwer an ein Weiterkommen zu glauben. Bremen spielt zur Zeit bärenstark und ist enorm heimstark. Mit Ivo und Sam werden uns auch zwei sehr wichtige Spieler fehlen. Man darf gespannt sein, wie unsere Jungs das angehen werden. Andererseits, als krasser Außenseiter hat man nichts zu verlieren und der Pokal hat seine eigenen Gesetze. Vielleicht erleben wir ja eine Überraschung? Dazu muss jedoch eine gehörige Steigerung zum Spiel gegen Düssseldorf her...

On matchday ten, 1. FC Kaiserslautern is facing a duel that is rich in tradition. On Friday, October 23, with Fortuna Düsseldorf an old acquaintance will visit the Betzenberg. The Red Devils have fought several duels against Fortuna in the past – even though it’s been 13 years since the last one.
There was great big celebration in Düsseldorf when Fortuna won its return to the big time in May 2009 after ten years of absence from the Bundesliga first or second division. With head coach Norbert Meier in the driver’s seat, the club that won the German Championships in 1933 as well as the German DFB Cup in 1979 and 1980, Fortuna Düsseldorf returned to the Bundesliga second division in consequence of a strong performance in last season’s second leg.
From a Fortuna Düsseldorf perspective, that is where the club belongs at least. In consideration of the club’s successes, its number of fans and not least the stadium, also their competitors might have looked forward to the new rival. However, one or the other club has drawn the short straw against Fortuna during the current campaign. Being seventh in the standings, the promoted team shows a solid performance so far and has already achieved four victories and 14 points.
It pays off that the team that achieved promotion almost stayed together. The show-piece of the successful team was and still is the defense. All the more so as last season’s outstanding defense meanwhile is strengthened by the summer recruits Christian Weber (AE Larisa), Anderson (VfL Osnabrück) and Johannes van den Bergh (Borussia Mönchengladbach). The injury, Fortuna shot-stopper Michael Melka suffered during the first match of the new season was of no consequence as Michael Ratajczak’s strong performance gives no reason to replace the current goalkeeper after Melka’s recovery. Team captain Andreas Lambertz and Olivier Caillas together with summer signing Oliver Fink (SpVgg Unterhaching) set the pace in the midfield, while Ranisav Jovanovic scores the necessary goals. Jovanovic is supported by one the new signings Dimitry Bulykin (RSC Anderlecht) and Martin Harnik (Werder Bremen), who both have already hit the target too.

If one certifies a strong performance for the guests that holds true for 1. FC Kaiserslautern even more. In their road match away to Cottbus, the Red Devils achieved their third away win. Moreover, the team of head coach Marco Kurz is at the top of the table in a tie with Arminia Bielefeld; and what is even more, FCK is the only professional German soccer team that is still undefeated in the current campaign. This impressive and successful streak is also due to the fact that the players are well attuned to each other, and that the Red Devils did not suffer severe injuries or suspensions so far. Since co captain Srdjan Lakic has celebrated his comeback in Cottbus last week, head coach Kurz has an additional forward at his disposal. The appearance of winger Ivo Ilicevic, on the other hand, is questionable at the moment, as he is plagued by calf problems. Manuel Hornig and Sascha Kotysch are still working on their fitness.

All in all, these are bright prospects for the fans who have reason to hope for another atmospheric soccer evening at the Betzenberg. Since ticket advance sales have exceeded the mark of 35,000 tickets already on Wednesday, chances are high that more than 40,000 spectators will come to Germany’s highest soccer hill on Friday to see the 46th encounter between the Red Devils and Fortuna Düsseldorf. While FCK heads the statistics of wins by far, the Red Devils have lost to Fortuna in their last match against the team from Düsseldorf in April 1996. Therefore, it is high time to turn the tables.

Zeit für den neuen Spieltagsthread...

kommenden Freitag (Anpfiff 18 Uhr) steht das Heimspiel gegen die Fortuna aus Düsseldorf an. Nach dem wichtigen Auswärtssieg bei Energie Cottbus, sind unsere Jungs gut gerüstet und können mit breiter Brust (und langem Bart) gegen den Aufsteiger auflaufen. Düsseldorf hat sich überraschend schnell in der neuen Liga etabliert und wird kein leichter Gegner sein. Mit Lakic kann Marco Kurz wieder auf einen wichtigen Bestandteil der Mannschaft zurückgreifen und wenn wir es schaffen unser Spiel konsequent aufzuziehen, stehen die Chancen gut, mit den Fans im Rücken den nächsten Dreier einzufahren. Hoffen wir auf eine große Kulisse und dann heißt es wieder: "Macht sie platt - schießt sie aus der Stadt!"

After the most welcome breather due to the international break, the Red Devils will get down to business again on Friday, October 16, 2009, when 1. FC Kaiserslautern will be facing Energie Cottbus for the first time after more than six years.

With eleven points from eight matches, the relegated team from Lusatia lies tenth in the current standings. The balanced record of three victories, two draws and three defeats hands FC Energie Cottbus a position in the middle of the table. However, Claus-Dieter Wollitz, the new Energie head coach, has to deal with a great number of injured players. Neither team captain Timo Rost nor Stiven Rivic has managed to make an appearance during the current campaign. Dennis Sörensen (fatigue fracture) and Heiko Schwarz (rupture of a ligament) suffered serious injuries during the course of last week. And as if that would not have been enough, Wollitz has to replace Jiayi Shao, Energie’s top striker (five goals). Shao received a laceration of the shinbone and is set for a several-week injury lay-off.

As some of his players have been away on international duty, Wollitz even had to cancel two training sessions due to staff shortage. Nonetheless, Energie’s anticipated line-up for Friday contains a number of familiar names, such as shot-stopper Gerhard Tremmel, the two home-comers Igor Mitreski and Sergiu Radu or Stanislav Angelov and Emil Jula. Several Energie Cottbus players have gathered experience and attention in the Bundesliga first division in previous seasons. In addition to that, this summer’s new signings Markus Brzenska and Marc-Andre Kruska (both came from BVB Dortmund) as well as Sascha Dum, who joined Energie on loan from Leverkusen, could become a real asset to Energie Cottbus.

However, FCK head coach Marco Kurz, who is preparing his team for the game at the Stadion der Freundschaft, makes sure that his Red Devils won’t take the encounter very lightly or even underestimate their opponents. But Kurz had to deal with the absence of some of his players too. Since Erik Jendrisek, Dario Damjanovic, Daniel Pavlovic and Gerorges Mandjeck have been away on international duty, they were not able to take part in team training before Thursday.

Therefore, the final line-up for the game in Cottbus is dependent on how these players cope with the stress of their journeys. Apart from that, FCK is free of injury problems. On the contrary – FCK striker and co-captain Srdjan Lakic is on the comeback trail and has rejoined team training after his long injury lay-off. Lakic made an appearance in the friendly in Riegelsberg last week. Even if an appearance in Cottbus on Friday would come too early for Srdjan Lakic, he is keen to return to the Fritz Walter Stadium on the occasion of the home game against Düsseldorf at the end of October. Sascha Kotysch and Manuel Hornig inch nearer full fitness but will not be part of the roster on Friday.

About 1,000 FCK fans are expected to back the Red Devils at the Stadion der Freundschaft. Those fans who were there on the occasion of the last encounter between FCK and Energie Cottbus in 2003, might not recognize the newly renovated stadium, but they will remember the brilliant record of the Red Devils away to Cottbus, having won maximum points from any of their four away games here. In addition to that, the Red Devils are still unbeaten during the current campaign. Thus, there are two streaks to be continued on Friday.

Nach der Länderspielpause tritt der FCK am kommenden Freitag zum Abendspiel in Cottbus an. Anpfiff ist 20:30 Uhr. Cottbus ist momentan mit 11 Punkten Tabellenzehnter und hat bisher unter Wollitz alles andere als überzeugt. Dennoch gelten die Lausitzer als heimstarkes Team und man darf gespannt sein, wie unsere Jungs auftreten werden. Ich hätte nichts dagegen, weiter ungeschlagen zu bleiben...

Grund:

Er propagiert seit Monaten immer und immer wieder gefährliches "rechtes" Gedankengut. Auch wenn die Foristen ihn regelmäßig in die Schranken weisen, so ist es wohl an der Zeit, das wir als Team eine Entscheidung hierzu fällen.
