Kaufering / Denklingen - The two regional league teams from the Landsberg district in lockstep: Both VfL Denklingen and VfL Kaufering won their games on Saturday and remain leaders in their groups - Denklingen with three, Kaufering even with five points. One player each stood out from both teams - they celebrated the “Dreifach-Müller” and the “Doppel-Ried”.
Denklingen's coach Markus Ansorge is a man of clear words: “That was a really bad game for us, especially in the first half. We struggled really hard, ”he said after the 2-1 win at MTV Berg. “They had six chances, we only three”. Nonetheless, Denklingen was 2-1 ahead at the break - because VfL has the man Ansorge calls the "difference player", the man with the built-in goal guarantee, who now leads the top scorer list of the Oberbayern Süd district league with 14 goals in twelve games.
In Berg, too, it was Torgarant Simon Ried who ensured VfL Denklingen's victory, again with a double, this time within five minutes. 1-0 in the 30th, 2-0 in the 35th minute. Michael Stahl had prepared both goals. "Twice roughly the same scene, two goals almost out of nowhere," reports the coach. And he adds: "The 2-0, a full-span shot into the far corner - only Ried makes such a goal." According to Ansorges, he "could easily play in the regional or Bavarian league." But good for Denklingen that the 27-year-old offensive man does not (anymore) and returned to VfL in 2019 after his two-year stint with Kaufbeuren in the Landesliga (60 games, 16 goals).
After the ninth win of the season, there was not only Ried, but also a "special praise" from the coach for a man who normally plays in the second team in the A-class. Lukas Gleich represented the sick goalkeeper Manuel Seifert brilliantly as in the previous week in the 3-2 draw against Penzberg, and could only be defeated by a penalty (Niklas Betz after a foul by Stephan Schilcher in the 41st minute). "Lukas kept us in the game with great saves before the break," says the VfL coach. In the second half, the game was a clear affair for the guests. Ansorge: “We should have won 3-1 or 4-1. In the end it was a victory for the more effective and callous team. But that's also a quality. "
Good news: Captain Armin Sporer celebrated a 23-minute comeback after an injury break in Berg.
On Sunday, when the second team scored 1: 3 against Wessobrunn-Haid, he was on the pitch again for 90 minutes.
Already on Friday (7.30 p.m.) Denklingen has to compete with pursuer SpVgg Haidhausen.
“A top game for the best team in the league.
A nice challenge, ”says Ansorge happily.
“We can go there with a big chest.
We have nothing to lose. ”The game was brought forward because of the wedding of ex-VfL player Florian Klein on Saturday.
Safe victory
Cheers also at VfL Kaufering, who apparently coped well with the 3-1 defeat at pursuers SpVgg Kaufbeuren.
Against TSV Mindelheim, the team of coach Ben Enthart celebrated an undisputed 4-0 victory.
Man of the day was the 30-year-old striker Daniel Müller, who defeated the Swabian basement child with three goals (19th, 31st and 47th minutes) almost single-handedly.
Florian Bucher scored the 3-0 in the 36th minute.
With eight goals, Müller is currently the Kauferinger's most successful goalscorer.
“He was the man of the match, had a creamy day,” said the coach, praising his center-forward, who has been with VfL for ages, but who had paused for two years because of distance learning and has only been an integral part of the team since the start of the season.
Enthart, who was not entirely satisfied with his boys' game despite the clear victory: “We are glad that he started again. He's a cold-blooded striker who usually hits when he has the ball in a promising position in front of goal. "The VfL coach had to do without six injured players against Mindelherim, but doesn't want to hang that too high:" Many clubs give up Time numerous muscle injuries. That is certainly due to the long corona break. But our squad is good and balanced. We can compensate for that well. ”As a look at the table shows impressively ...
On Saturday (3 p.m.) Kaufering has to compete at table ninth FC Thalhofen.
This is the home club of national player and ex-Leo Kevin Volland.
“A very homogeneous group,” says Enthart.
It is the third from last game in the preliminary round.
After that, four more games should be played until the winter break.
