For TSV 1860 and FC Bayern, the derby on Sunday is about promotion and relegation.
Martin Demichelis explains how the U23 wants to stop Sascha Mölders.
Munich - It's a shame that no spectators are allowed into the Grünwalder Stadium on Sunday at the derby between TSV 1860 and FC Bayern II.
For the two fan camps, the game on the 37th matchday of the 3rd division had a very special attraction this year.
The reds can screw up their hated local rivals, the blues have the chance to send their neighbors to the regional league.
The explosiveness has seldom been so high in recent years.
FC Bayern: reinforcement of the professionals?
Demichelis and Schwarz do not allow themselves to be looked at in cards
In the table, the lions occupy the relegation place to the 2nd Bundesliga *, the U23 from Säbener Straße * is on a direct relegation place.
It cannot be ruled out that players from the professional squad * will also be on board on Sunday.
Martin Demichelis and Danny do not allow themselves to be looked into the cards: "It is not planned, but who knows, it may be that it changes every hour," said ex-Leo Schwarz.
It remains to be seen whether there will be reinforcements from the star ensemble. Michael Köllner's team can prepare for a hot fight. Goalscorer Sascha Mölders should be chained and covered very closely: “A defender has to be totally aggressive. He has to notice in the first one, two or three minutes that the defenders will not give up. The boys have to anticipate, "says ex-world-class defender Martin Demichelis about guarding the sixty captain, whom he did not trust the achievements in the late autumn of his career:" It was a surprise for me, he is 36 years old, but I think he's really good. His overall package is very, very dangerous, he has a strong header and both feet, has a lot of experience and smells when the ball comes into the penalty area ",the ex-star of FC Bayern * praises the lion leader.
FC Bayern want to stand up to TSV 1860 in the derby with a strong defensive around Feldhahn and Welzmüller
Especially the two veterans Nico Feldhahn and Maxi Welzmüller should organize the defensive.
“Nico is an experienced player who has to take command of the goal together with Ron-Torben Hoffmann.
The other three defenders have to do their job, ”said the Argentine.
His colleague Schwarz emphasizes Welzmüller's special role and adds: "Welzi knows about his position and in the team and we hope that he will show that on Sunday too."
The ex-lion even announces - quite contrary to the previous style of play of the U23 - indirectly a defensive battle: “They come with a really good overall package.
We would do well to do our job on the defensive and one-on-one.
In our situation, nobody can expect us to take sixty apart and play against the wall. "
TSV 1860 against FC Bayern II: Demichelis and Schwarz want to keep pressure off the team
The virtues of scratching, biting and fighting are tried and the coach duo tries instead to keep the pressure off the team in the relegation battle. “Keeping it an issue is not beneficial,” believes Schwarz. “We work every day to build the boys up and clear their minds.” Colleague Demichelis reaches into the psychological bag of tricks: “I come from a country with 19 million poor people and criminality. In this pandemic time, in which we have been living for a year and a half, pressure is something completely different. The boys are allowed to play football for 90 minutes and have big goals. This is a great way to learn from this exam. We are optimistic, but we are not under pressure. "
Whether the message has reached the players will be shown on Sunday from 2 p.m.
"We expect that you stand your ground and show the edge," announced Schwarz.
Meppen lost on Friday evening, Uerdingen will play their home game against 1. FC Magdeburg on Saturday at 2 p.m.
If the Krefeld team do not win, the U23 beckons the return to a non-relegation place before the last match day if they win.
“I've learned that we have to stick with it and believe that anything is possible,” says Demichelis, recalling his time at FC Malaga: “We only lost there for three months in a row.
In the end we achieved the goal. "(Jörg Bullinger)
