Opinions are divided on the continuation of the League Cup, there is a lot of criticism.

The A classists Haag and Attaching II, on the other hand, are hot for the knockout round.

District 

- Now the rest of the timetable is out: The district game committee of the Donau / Isar football district has announced that the preliminary rounds of the current league cup competitions will be canceled and the teams that will advance to the round of 16 will be determined using the quotient rule.

In the A-Class League Cup, however, there were 18 groups - and that means: The 14 best table winners are for the round of 16 on 13/14.

March set.

The four worst players play off the last two starting positions in a game.

With VfR Haag and TSV Allershausen II, two teams from the Freising district are definitely in the round of the last 16, the BC Attaching II (at TSV Isen) and SC Massenhausen (at SC Irgertsheim) must be on 6./7.

March into the "second round qualification".

The seeded teams from Haag and Allershausen approach the knockout round quite differently: Allershausen's reserve coach Thomas Färber clearly focuses on the league: “Our primary goal is not to be relegated to the A-class.

For us, the league cup is primarily a test match opportunity. ”The TSV coach's anticipation of the additional competition is still limited - especially since it is more than unclear whether this can be carried out as planned.

"I would be more happy if we knew for sure that we can train again in February," Färber alludes to the recent tightening of the corona.

"Because of the current developments and regulations, I think it is more than doubtful that we can play again in March, let alone start adequate preparation in February."

A touch of the Champions League final tournament

The Hague, on the other hand, is looking forward to the upcoming tasks - and sees the cup as a good opportunity to advance to the district class.

"The calculation is pretty simple," emphasizes VfR trainer Volker Lippcke.

“We'll get promoted if we win these four games.

It's also a nice situation for me as a coach, because the boys are easier to motivate with such a highlight in front of their chests in the winter preparation. ”Basically, Coach Lippcke has decided to play the league cup before the league season starts again, positive: "I think it's good that they want to win the cup in four weeks, similar to the Champions League final tournament."

The BC Attaching II is just as hot for the cup. For the BCA, the league cup starts a week earlier with the decision kick at TSV Isen.

"I think the league cup in general and regardless of Corona is a very cool idea," says Attachings trainer Jan Ziob, who wants to include the duel as a competitive game in the preparation.

For this and the possible other encounters “we will of course prepare a little differently than for classic test matches.

Obviously the preparation will be a little longer overall - but I'm looking forward to the trophy and think it's cool to play against unknown opponents from other districts. "

Fritsch: "I find the association's quotient rule unfair"

The SC Massenhausen also has to contest a qualifying game.

For the SCM it's on 6./7.

March to SC Irgertsheim in Ingolstadt.

Coach Andreas Fritsch makes no secret of the fact that he has not been a fan of the league cup for a long time, and is tough on the appointment: “In my opinion, the league cup is now just unnecessary.

We will certainly not spend several weeks preparing intensively for this game, which I personally don't really care.

Taking into account the new lockdown, I cannot understand the schedule in March at all.

Training places are never released in late January or early February.

The only correct solution would be to cancel the cup completely and start the league as late as possible in order to complete it. "According to coach Fritsch, how the group winners came about is also questionable:" I find the association's quotient rule unfair as only the points per game are taken into account.

It does not take into account how many games the teams have played.

The current tables are not very meaningful if some teams have only played one or two games. "

A victim of the quotient rule was, for example, SV Dietersheim, who also played in group 12 and, like the SCM, had four points from two games on the account.

In the end, the better goal difference decided in favor of the Massenhausen team.

TSV Eching II and FCA Unterbruck II would have had realistic chances of winning the group after each point from a game.

"I think a little more sensitivity would have been fairer when evaluating the tables," said Dietersheim's chairman and department head Mario Spoljaric, criticizing the quotient rule.

“You could have taken into account who gets which result against whom and how many games you have in each case.

So we just have to accept and accept the decision - unfortunately not for the first time since the Corona postponements and regulations. "
