The three district league league cup eighth finalists from the Freising district are optimistic.

The early start date is particularly worrying.

District

 - With BC Attaching, SC Kirchdorf and SV Kranzberg, three clubs from the district are represented in the round of 16 of the district league league cup.

And those responsible for the teams agree that scheduling the competition could be problematic.

The BCA is the first in group 5 to have home rights in the last 16.

Sports director Martin Ricks doesn't care who is drawn from the lottery with Eitting, Wartenberg, Taufkirchen or Kirchasch as opponents: “We take every competition we play seriously.

Both the league and the cup. ”However, the attachers think it's good that the association has divided it up according to regional criteria.

The early start date on 6./7.

March sees Ricks rather critically: “I think it will be difficult for teams that don't have artificial turf to prepare.

We all know the places at the end of February and beginning of March. "

Kranzberg's trainer Anton Kopp and Stefan Lohmeier, head of the soccer department at SC Kirchdorf, see welcome preparation games under competitive conditions in the early termination of the cup.

Nevertheless, Kopp is divided.

Because after the long winter break, the team would have to train for a few weeks.

“And if you then get eliminated in the round of 16 of the League Cup, what do you do in the three weeks until the championship starts?

The preparation from the beginning of February to the end of March is quite long - and all of this for the one competitive game. ”Lohmeier also sees an important factor in the physical condition of the players.

"Our goal will be that people are motivated to take care of their fitness themselves, so that when team training is allowed again, you don't start from scratch."

In general, all three consider it very questionable whether the termination that has now been issued can even be kept from the beginning of March.

And regardless of whether the league cup takes place before or after the league games, everyone gives top priority to ending the championship round.

“The association also has to do something and give out future schedules,” believes Kopp.

“How it happens is ultimately the decision of the government.

Then you have to see how things can go on. "

Kranzberg and Kirchdorf expect an away game in the round of 16 with a team from the district league 1. The possible opponents - Gerolfing, GW Ingolstadt, Manching II or Gaimersheim - are difficult to assess, but certainly not overwhelming, says Anton Kopp.

There are no great chances of qualifying for the Toto Cup semi-finals or even for the district league by reaching the league cup final in Kirchdorf and Kranzberg.

“The question is whether it would make sense to climb the league cup,” Lohmeier muses.

“I don't want to offend any of us in the league, and the two who are now at the top deserve promotion.

If someone else were to rise above the trophy, that might still be okay with Attaching.

For SC Kirchdorf and everyone else, I tend not to think that advancing over the cup makes sense. "

The BCA is also thinking about winning the cup.

“It depends on who it is against.

There are also pretty good teams there.

We'll take everything with us as it comes, ”emphasizes Attachings Sports Director Martin Ricks.

“But it is of course clear that winning the four league cup games would be an easier way to advance than to catch up nine points behind FC Langengeisling and FC Lengdorf in the district league.

Especially since you have it in your own hand in the cup. "
