SE Freising is threatened with a number of failures at the weekend, some players are injured or injured.
Meanwhile, the coach is already ticking off the promotion race.
Freising
- If at least three points had jumped out in the end, then the company outing for the regional league footballers of SE Freising last Saturday would at least have been worth it.
But as it was, the 2-0 defeat at TSV Waldkirchen was dearly paid for: zero points, three ailing players - and in addition, contact with the absolute top group was broken off for now.
Waldkirchen has often been a difficult place for the SEF: Sometimes a game was canceled, sometimes supervisor Manfred Grüner caught a wad.
This time the Freising hospital filled up - and it is not yet clear which men will be available to coach Alex Plabst on Saturday afternoon (3 p.m.) against the SB Chiemgau Traunstein.
Midfielder Robert Rohrhirsch is out for an indefinite period with a fiber tear, and right-back Osaro Aiteniora has a pinch in the foot.
The absence of Michael Schmid, who suffered a bruised rib in the TSV game, could be just as painful.
Setback for Andreas Hohlenburger
All three join the already well-stocked hospital around Sebastian Thalhammer or Basti Hofmaier.
And striker Andi Hohlenburger, for whom the signs were very good after a year break, has suffered a setback in terms of Syndesmosis tape.
So now there could be an opportunity for the younger generation, for those replacing the U19 juniors.
“It will be a puzzle to the end,” says Plabst.
The Lerchenfelder kicker also have to cope with the step backwards in the table.
After the defeat of Waldkirchen, the absolute top of the state league is now a long way off, the yellow-blacks are now among the pursuers.
“The season is over.
We won't attack at the top like in the last few years, ”said Plabst in preparation for the next match.
The SEF has 38 counters - probably enough not to have to look down.
And that's why those responsible are happy that the season was not canceled and restarted in the summer.
"With all these failures," the coach calculates, "it would have been a very unpleasant thing."
The lessons of the first SEF kick after the restart
Against Traunstein and then in Töging or against Erlbach, it is now important to limit the damage and to keep motivated.
Because that was also one of the lessons from the first SEF kick after the restart: While Freising started rather slowly, two things were right with the relegation-threatened TSV: ambition and commitment.
Lineup:
Negele - Aiteniora, Schmid (Mayr), Kirchberger, Schredl - Manhart, Bittner, Schmuckermeier, Zanker, Davydov - Gädke.
