The HSV tests after the first preparatory game on Friday against Geretsried. The Heilbrunner have to do without Max Specker, who was seriously injured.
Bad Heilbrunn / Geretsried - The final whistle after the first test match of SV Bad Heilbrunn (1: 3 against Raisting) had hardly faded away, when coach Walter Lang received the first bad news: Max Specker, tens and control center on the offensive, has an inner ligament tear suffered in the right knee. “Downtime is uncertain,” says Lang dryly, “at least six weeks. This is a blast for the team. Max Specker was involved in at least half of all hits in the past few years. "
Nevertheless, the view is directed ahead, to the next test game this Friday (7 p.m.) on the home run. Lang classifies the opponent as a "massive touchstone": TuS Geretsried. The current fourth-placed, who still has ambitions for the relegation place, is a Heilbrunn competitor in the Landesliga Südwest - however, the two opponents have already completed their two point game comparisons before the corona lockdown. The Loisachtaler didn't even cut a bad figure. As the promoted team, they lost to the TuS on the second match day with a wafer-thin 3: 4; on the second matchday in the second half of the season in November 2019 they even wrested a point from the Geretsriedern (1: 1).
Service provider Max Specker must be replaced
But the Heilbrunn coach thinks his team are miles away from a similar result. “The Geretsrieder want to be promoted to the Bayern League and have strengthened themselves very well during the break. For us, the first thing is to get out of the paralysis after Maxi's failure. ”For days, Lang pondered over a system change, but then rejected it. “It is almost impossible to change the system quickly in the regional league. So we're sticking to the 4-3-2-1. ”Now it is time to test various candidates for the ten position. The first bid on Friday evening is Anton Krinner, who otherwise caused a goal danger from outside. “I just have to try something out,” says Lang.
There is nothing to test in the goalkeeping position. Returning holidaymaker Christoph Hüttl will take over the traditional position number one again in front of assistant keeper Gerald Hillringhaus.
TuS Geretsried has also put its most recent preparation game (1: 2 against Bayern league club SV Pullach) in the sand. However, coach Martin Grelics experienced “an overall good test” with some strong actions and - more importantly - without further bloodletting; Srdan Ivkovic had already seriously injured his knee when he was warming up for the first match at the beginning of March (meniscus and cartilage damage) and is currently in training. Anastasions Karpouzidis is suffering from a cruciate ligament tear.
TuS welcomes FC Kosova on Saturday
The TuS-Elf even has a “double day” on this holiday weekend: After the Friday test in Heilbrunn, the Geretsrieder received FC Kosova Munich from the District League South less than 24 hours later (Saturday, 3pm). “I'll have two squads,” says coach Martin Grelics, “none of the boys will play for more than 90 minutes.” Instead, he wants to give every player in the now enormously broad squad enough playing time: “Everyone has the chance to show themselves. “In the coming week, the coach has even scheduled three test games: on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. "Then I can see where each individual is headed."
With the Kyrgyz national player Vitalij Lux, the matter should be clear. “He is an absolute reinforcement”, Grelics observed against Pullach. The focus is now on the four 2001 juniors from the U19 national league squad: Leonardo Lajqi, Benedikt Hoppe and Jordi and Yannick Woudstra. With a total of 19 goals, the twins had a good share of the top position that Geretsrieder U 19 occupies in the regional league. But what is more important than scoring goals is that coach Grelics believes that the duels are more likely to be accepted than against Pullach and that “we can get the eleven against eleven back”.
