The table of the 3rd league is becoming more meaningful again: On Wednesday, more games were made up, at least the first six teams have now played 25 games each.
Good for 1860: Lübeck beat Rostock (1-0) and increased the lions' chances to third place.
A victory in Duisburg would be the next step towards relegation participation.
The expected horn concert is supposed to cheer Köllner's lion.
In the derby win against Haching (3: 1) it was
gun shots fired outside the stadium
that
sharpened
the senses of the
1860 professionals
.
On Saturday in Duisburg there will also be something going on in terms of phoning: Michael Köllner is preparing for a horn concert, which is part of the
accompanying music at MSV home games
in Corona times
.
“That will of course be an
issue in the dressing room
- like any change,” says the 1860 coach, who likes it when things move.
“At
least my players didn't fall asleep because of
the
fireworks on Friday
.” And as for the horn on Saturday: “That doesn't just have to appeal to zebras, which then jump higher.
That might as well spur us Lions on.
"
The
results of the catch-up Wednesday
could also have an incentive effect
.
Ingolstadt has strengthened its direct promotion position (3-0 in Uerdingen), but
third place, which entitles the player to relegation
, feels a little closer.
With a win in Lübeck Rostock would have rushed, with
Hansa's 0-1 defeat it
remains
four points behind
in
1860
- with the same number of games now.
The latter is also the aspect that Köllner highlighted in his review.
"The good thing is that the
table is getting back into balance
," he said, claiming: "Otherwise I don't care a lot whether we are currently in 6th, 5 or 1."
Köllner compares the season with a
long-distance run over 38 laps
: “At some point you come out of the last corner and you have the home
straight in front of
your
eyes
.
Then it all comes down to stepping on the gas. ”If you haven't given up beforehand.
To stay in the picture: whether the win against Haching will
release
new strength
will be seen on Saturday.
In any case, Duisburg is in a good mood.
“They are an opponent who took a twelve minute break against Saarbrücken.
Otherwise they played a very good game. ”
Final score: 4: 1 for the Saarlanders.
Would have caused an
angry horn concert
at a home game
.
To trigger such a thing is at least Köllner's plan for tomorrow.
