FC Langengeisling is looking forward to the league and has to become a top favorite.
Langengeisling - With a 1: 4 in Westerndorf, FC Langengeisling once said goodbye to the district league.
That was in 1990, now he's returning there.
Today, Saturday, at 2 p.m., it's off to VfB Forstinning, which, apart from captain Mathias Hirt, has the best line-up.
"The euphoria in the club is huge," says Maxi Hintermaier.
Is there a particular pressure on the team?
“Absolutely not,” says the player-coach.
"We're all really looking forward to it."
The district league east is also uncharted territory for the 29-year-old, who played for the regional league club SV Heimstetten for seven years. With five newcomers and lateral entrants FC Moosinning, the league has been completely turned inside out anyway.
Therefore, he cannot yet judge the role of the FCL. “In the preparation we didn't have very many high-class opponents, and we played our best game against FC Schwaig,” Hintermaier remembers the 0-1 at the national division. The team indicated their potential. With a better exploitation of opportunities there would have been more, says Hintermaier, who asks for patience. “We have a tight program. After five games you will see how good we are. "What Hintermaier can assure:" The fitness is right. "After the long break, the main focus must be on the physical condition. In the playful area there is always something to be improved, he says. “At times we still need too long to build up the game. We also have to work on the accuracy of the passing game and our positional play. "
The form of his two goalkeepers gives him pleasure, which is why he is now plagued by a luxury problem: Chris Brader or Chris Bernhardt - "both deserve it, but only one can be in goal," says Hintermaier.
The decision has not yet been made.
What is clear, however, is that goalscorer Chris Gerbl will still be missing as well as defensive man Niko Simak.
Markus Obermeier is unable to work.
The three youngsters Ömer Altinisik, Maurice Steck and David Riederle will be in the squad.
Hintermaier rates opponents Forstinning very highly.
"For me, VfB and FC Moosinning are among the promotion favorites," he says.
“That's why we won't be arriving with full pants.” Hintermaier doesn't want to reveal much about the tactics yet.
Back four, stand compactly, make rooms tight - just like a newcomer plays.
“As a newcomer, we will rarely go into the game as favorites,” suspects Hintermaier, who sees his own position “somewhere in the attacking midfield”.
He is particularly looking forward to seeing Ivica Coric again, the VfB coach was once Hintermaier's coach in Heimstetten.
