The lions in the fast lane: second place in the table, last scored 17 out of 21 possible points - and a new quality: everyone in Köllner's squad scores goals, according to the old fair motto: who hasn't?
Who wants again
Everyone can: 42 goals, 14 different shooters.
The absence of Captain Sascha Mölders made up for it excellently.
Playstation football in a lightning attack before the 0-1.
After taking care of the preliminary decision and
proving
the
new diversity of the lions
,
Stephan Salger
fell back into old patterns.
When asked why he passed on the
free kick before the 0: 3
and not taken it
himself
as
with the 0: 2
, the 1860 professional at MagentaSport laughed.
He said: “Then the defender in me came through again, that I was going to cross it again.
Steini stood free and safely put the thing in. "
Salger, Steinhart, Lex. The goal scorers in the 3-0 win in Magdeburg show that the Lions are now broad enough to make themselves independent of their goal-hungry
captain Sascha Mölders (yellow card suspension)
at
least in one game
.
Variability as a new quality feature
.
Desire for goals that are recorded in the squad: full-time strikers, defenders, young talents, backbenchers.
True to the old fair motto:
who hasn't got it yet, who wants to come back?
Also because of the new breadth in the squad, it beats 14 at sixty in terms of the spread of goals.

The majority of the
42 goals this season
are due to Käptn Mölders (13), but it is no coincidence that two other players were able to enter the shooting list for the first time against Meppen (Belkahia) and Magdeburg.
“We play quite offensively”, analyzed
the outstanding Salger on Wednesday (one goal, two assists)
and explained the
flood of goals in his defensive row
as follows: “Steini can always push forward and has already scored four goals.
The
standards are also working really well now
.
That was a bit of a problem at the beginning of the season, now we have
good running paths
and can get the second balls well.
The logical consequence is a couple of goals. "
A consequence that also
pleased
Michael Köllner
, the
tactical tinkerer
who
surprised
Magdeburg
three times
: with three changes in the starting eleven (including Erdmann was allowed to run against his ex-club - for the recently strong Belkahia), with a modified basic order (4-4 -2, Neudecker in the storm for the first time) - and with well-rehearsed plays like before the
textbook attack to 0: 1
.
Hiller, Salger, Dressel, Lex - it took
just 14 seconds
until the ball was in the goal.

that you rarely get to see in the 3rd division.
Köllner's explanation: “Our game is handy and designed in such a way that it actually always works.
Every position knows what to do.
So you can always make different players shine. "
Our game is handy and designed in such a way that it actually always works.
1860 coach Michael Köllner.
The other statistics look brilliant at 1860:
second place with the most goals scored (42) and the second fewest goals conceded (20)
.
Away a
league-wide
unmatched
dream point average (2.0 per game)
.
The Köllner Express has been in the fast lane since mid-December at the latest: In seven games, 1860 has
five wins and two draws
- with an impressive
goal difference of 17: 3
.
It is significant that there was only one thing that Köllner complained about after the Magdeburg gala: “Mölders was not there.” He will be there again on Sunday when
Zwickau in Giesing
rounds off the English Week.
Köllner suspects that the environment
has already booked
the
three points
: "And if it only
turns out to
be a draw, like against Meppen,
then there is a grave-digging mood again
."
