Münsing – That was a comeback made to measure: The entire preliminary round was only the spectator role for Simon Schmid because of cartilage damage in the knee at the games of his SV Münsing. It now seems to be over. In the preparatory game at TuS Geretsried II, the gradually recovering attacker annoyed his coach until he allowed him a few minutes of practice in the second half. And Schmid thanked him as it should be for a goal scorer. When the score was 1: 2, the goalkeeper kicked a free kick from 16 meters into the net in the 90th minute - to the 2: 2 final score.
"I thought it was too early after his injury, but he didn't give up," said SVM coach Christos Georgiadis with a smile. However, no one should draw the wrong conclusions from the successful short assignment. "He just sniffed it in," said the trainer. "It will definitely take a lot of time." The same applies to Josef Holzer, who also only started training again after a cruciate ligament rupture.
Regular running sessions have been on the program since the beginning of January. Now the winter preparation has started - in the absence of its own artificial turf with a lot of variety such as spinning or kicking in the Soccer Five. The first tests were successful. Before the 2-2 at the TuS Reserve, the SVM won 6-1 with the soccer friends Geretsried. "That was absolutely fine so far," says Georgiadis happily and adds with a laugh: "Funnily enough, we are already quite fit."
