TSV 1860 Munich will start the new season shortly.
Coach Michael Köllner is optimistic: "I think it could start tomorrow."
Nuremberg / Munich - It was the bravest solo of an intense weekend of friendly matches.
Cult fan Helmi, 54, walked through the rows on Grünwalder Strasse and fished autograph cards out of his backpack, which he handed out to the other spectators without being asked.
It shows: a star portrait of himself (with a white-blue 1860 helmet) - and an original crackled signature.
An action that made for amusement, because otherwise little was given to the lions at the dress rehearsals before the start of the league against Würzburg.
The A-Eleven lost 2: 3 on Saturday at the second division 1. FC Nürnberg, 1: 1 it was yesterday against fourth division VfR Aalen.
Both line-ups were only convincing at times, but Michael Köllner was satisfied: "As far as I am concerned, it could start tomorrow."
TSV 1860: In none of the six test matches was zero
With this statement there was a certain optimism of the coach, because 4,000 spectators in Nuremberg had seen that at least one part of the team was only partially ready to start.
In none of the six test matches was zero - and on Saturday Köllner also spoke of "stupid mistakes" that would have cost a better result.
Between the 1-0 of the formidable Biankadi (11th) and the final point of Joker Keanu Staude (87th), the Lions invited the hosts to scoring goals.
Köllner: "We'll find out the coordination problems"
The 1: 1 resulted from an indecision of Hiller's substitute Tom Kretzschmar: Shuranov intervened and netted (39th). Before the 1: 2, the opponent's offside didn't work: Borowski was the beneficiary (67th). Before the 1: 3, a back pass from Semi Belkahia was the perfect template for Nuremberg's Lohkemper (82nd). Köllner's reaction? Upper Palatinate serenity. “It's nothing dramatic,” he said mildly: “The chain of errors begins earlier - a lot are also stories of fatigue. Of course, the goals conceded annoy you, but we can find out the set-up problems. It is important that we have an intact team. "
After all: at the front it became clear that 1860 now has more to offer than a one-man show by Sascha Mölders.
Marcel Bär suggests himself as a strong striker partner.
And the row behind - with Biankadi and the fine technicians Neudecker / Tallig - is able to cause confusion in opposing penalty areas.
Köllner's verdict: "As far as the goal chances are concerned, we were no worse than Nuremberg."
# Löwen-Coach Michael # Köllner was satisfied with the 1-1 in the friendly against @ VfRAalen1921.
"We did really well in the second half, even though half of the A-youth were on the field."

Even the initially tired test against a poisonous Uwe Wolf team from Aalen was able to win something, not just the late 1-1 from a penalty from Tim Linsbichler. “Today there was half a youth team on the pitch,” said the coach: “The important thing is that the boys marched. Aalen blew out of the last hole in the end. ”The main problem child remains Dennis Dressel, who Köllner allowed a mental break on Saturday. He was the captain against Aalen, but he didn't really have much influence on the game.
Today all lions are allowed to breathe again. What the preparation was worth will be seen on Saturday - against a team from Würzburg, which is just as difficult to assess (1: 0 against first division promoted Fürth, 1: 2 against fourth division Jena). Köllner prophesies: “It will be a rock-hard thing. I don't think we'll be leading 3-0 in the first drinking break. "
