Three from the SVH sextet are pushing back to the home club, the others want to stay
Forstern / Hohenlinden - District soccer team FC Forstern is threatened with leaving a strong trio at the end of the current season.
According to reports, goalkeeper Valentin Katterloher (25), defender Sebastian Ittlinger (26) and striker Andreas Maier (26) will return to their home club SV Hohenlinden in the summer.
The trio is half of the sextet that migrated from the local division to the Erdinger district last winter.
At that time there was a lot of quarrels within the SVH at board and department level.
But since the management positions - Theo Falterer is now chairman, Fritz Oskar division manager - were reassigned, the way of working there has changed.
Apparently for the better, because some of the “Herliner Buam” now want to go back.
As both clubs confirmed.
“The three will definitely come.
We have verbally agreed, ”said Hohenlinden's football boss to the local newspaper.
You don't have it in writing yet, "for that the changing window has to open again", says Oskar.
"They want to end the season in Forstern and then they are absolute reinforcements for us." Falterer and his team have set themselves the goal of "getting more Hohenlindener back into the team".
As Oskar explained, the club has already put out feelers to other ex-players to persuade them to return.
But that does not affect the rest of the sextet that went to Forstern last year.
According to Roland Gfüllner, one of the sporting directors at FCF, Manuel Graf (27, midfield) as well as the Haberl brothers Noah (21, midfield) and Simon (28, attack) keep the district classic in control.
“You will definitely stay with us.” The other three will not “put any obstacles in the way”, said Gfüllner, who could not hide his disappointment.
"We wanted to build something long-term." Nevertheless, he could understand the change request due to the changed conditions in Hohenlinden.
"But first we'll end the season next year, then we'll talk."
Gfüllner, who has a “good connection” to the FCF team, works in Hohenlinden and maintains good contacts with the local sports club, still sees many question marks before the change: “How will SVH continue?
What happens in the event of a sporting success with us or if you don't have a decent team there? "
Forstern is fifth in the district class, nine points are missing for promotion relegation, while the SVH is sixth in the district league Munich (eight points for relegation to the top, four to the basement).
A lot could still happen in both leagues.
“But first we also have to look at what the pandemic will bring with it and how it will continue for everyone,” emphasizes Gfüllner.
The injured will come back.
But even before the lockdown and the winter break, Corona had caused damage if some kickers had their thoughts elsewhere, which resulted in problems as a club with the staffing in training and games.
Because nothing was going on, according to the FCF Sports Director, some people have lost their connection to football.
“Some preferred to go to have coffee with their girlfriends.” In Forstern, the intention to change seems to be more of a minor ailment.
