The TSV 1860 as number 1 in the city?

At least that's the case in the DFB Cup.

There will also be a premiere in the Grünwalder Stadium.

Munich

– Bayern out since the second round (0:5 in Gladbach), third division team TSV 1860 with a chance of reaching the quarter-finals – a nice thing for Michael Köllner, who made an effort to downplay the snapshot in the DFB Cup.

"For me it is a side note that we are currently number 1 in the city in the competition - and not another club," said the coach with a grin.

"The trophy represents added value," explained Köllner, "in terms of prestige and reputation."

Consequently, it is his goal to also master the KSC hurdle.

In addition, noted Köllner, it was “a financially very attractive competition.

We have to deliver a strong game.

It has to really blaze in every player.”

reinforcements?

Günther Gorenzel bricks.

"As far as commercial things are concerned, I'm the wrong person to talk to," the sports manager referred to higher club authorities.

Novelty today: VAR and goal-line technology will be used for the first time in the Grünwalder Stadion.
