Are the Lions ready for the Ascension mission?

For Köllner's team, there are two important assessments of the current situation.

One thing is certain: there will be more music in the future!

The lion puzzle - it is put together piece by piece. During the week the new home jersey was presented (striped like in the Bundesliga season 96/97), previously the successor to stadium announcer Stefan Schneider (Sebastian Schäch). A final test match double pack should now help Michael Köllner to filter out his eleven best footballers. The goal of the Löwen is to play for promotion in the fourth season of the third division, accompanied by their own trumpeters, trombonists and strings. . . Dream of the future? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that. But more on that later.


Twice 90 minutes:

The alleged A-team of the Lions will play this Saturday at the second division club 1. FC Nürnberg (1 p.m., Max-Morlock-Stadion). All those who are not used there can then run against VfR Aalen, trained by the ex-lion Uwe Wolf, on Sunday at the morning pint (11 a.m., training area). After mixed appearances in preparation, the two games serve as an essential form check before the season opener against Kickers Würzburg (July 24th, 2 p.m.).

Fine-tuning:

Fans who are on site in Nuremberg had to be creative: Tickets were only available to interested parties from postcode area 9. But even those who are only there via livestream want to know: Are the lions finally showing what they're made of? Coach Köllner says: “It is crucial that we slowly get into the rhythm of the game. During training we will make sure that the players compete in good physical condition. ”The impressions of the two endurance tests will largely depend on“ who is ahead of the game and at the end of the day draws the card for the Würzburg game ”.

Tactics:

As far as the game system is concerned, it looks like the 4-1-3-2 practiced in the test against Burghausen has the edge.

The 3-1-4-2 rehearsed at the beginning of the preparation remains an option.

In terms of personnel, however, no big surprises are to be expected at first.

Open positions:

Nine out of eleven positions seem to have been assigned regardless of the appearance in Nuremberg. Tom Kretzschmar has a regular place in goal for two games - then “red-sinner” Marco Hiller returns between the posts. The back four is also ready. From right: New lion Yannick Deichmann (for the long-term injured Marius Willsch), Stefan Salger, Semi Belkahia, Phillipp Steinhart. In midfield there is no way around sixth Quirin Moll and eighth Richard Neudecker. Captain Sascha Mölders is set anyway, and Merv Biankadi was already full of energy on Sunday against Burghausen. A quartet is fighting for the two free places: Erik Tallig (on the up), Marcel Bär, who came from Braunschweig (Köllner believes the striker can score 10 to 15 goals),the prevented Darmstadt Dennis Dressel (sags) and Keanu Staude (has obviously made something).

The problem children:

Fabian Greilinger (Syndesmose) and ex-clubber Kevin Goden returned to training during the week. Willsch (pubic bone) and Daniel Wein (Achilles tendon) are injured for a longer period of time, Stefan Lex has been reported as sick by the club - in addition, the attacker is dragging a persistent form crisis with him. In the Austrian Tim Linsbichler, Köllner has a fourth new addition. After a year of epidemics, the striker, who was brought from Hoffenheim in 2020, should collect match practice against Aalen.

And otherwise?

Vice President Hans Sitzberger is particularly hot for the season. At the fan evening in the training camp, the 68-year-old picked up the microphone to sound out how the coach sees the opportunities for promotion. Köllner's mischievous answer: “I hope that we can leave 18 teams behind us. . . ”Sitzberger seemed to be happy - on Friday the cleaning contractor (“ Mia kehr'n zam ”) expanded his sponsorship commitment: The Sitzberger / Sechzig marriage is going into its 15th year.

Paukenschlag:

And there is another piece of news that should please the native Bavarian: The Löwen want to cause a sensation next to the square in the future - for this purpose they surprisingly announced the establishment of a music division, with a focus on brass music. Football boss Roman Beer: "We are very happy that we will be able to organize our events such as the Advent Singing in the Sechzger Stadium with our club's own musicians."
