The next six weeks will decide whether VfL Denklingen achieves its goal in the district league south.
On Saturday we are at home against TSV Neuried.
Denklingen – This week, the VfL Denklingen footballers once again gave their trainer a lesson in “self-motivation”.
Markus Ansorge was amazed when his protégés simply didn't want to leave the training ground.
Two hours had long passed when the crowd finally trolled into the cabin.
"People were really interested," the coach praised his footballers' attitude towards their hobby.
It's now April.
The club for physical exercise still has nine matches to complete in the district league south.
But the time until the end of the season is now rapidly decreasing.
On May 21st, the season will experience its grand finale with the away game at the current table leader Oberweikertshofen.
There are only six weeks left until then.
"We're slowly approaching the finish line," states Ansorge.
VfL Denklingen meets TSV Neuried at home
In this phase, his footballers see, game after game, what the sweat they put into the company "promotion" is worth.
"Every sense of achievement that you celebrate now brings you closer to your goal," says Ansorge.
The coach of the second in the table speaks of a psychological effect that is now beginning to take effect.
Somehow it seems as if every win is worth six points instead of three.
In the coming days, football boots will become seven-league boots and every opponent will become a formidable challenge.
"In any case, we have respect for every district league team," announces Ansorge, not to take any opponent lightly anymore.
He could also have said: From now on, every game is a final.
His eleven can still bag 27 points in the next nine games.
If she succeeds, she is master.
The first leg ended in a 2-2 draw
The preparation for the home game this Saturday against TSV Neuried (4 p.m.) was a bit more focused than usual.
Nevertheless, Ansorge was relieved about the draw.
"It was a rather lucky 2:2." For him, however, the analysis of the game was more important than the evaluation of the result.
The TSV pulled the tooth out of its team because it tightened the space in order to then practice what VfL actually has a patent on: fast switching.
"We have to make sure that we're wide awake," Ansorge tries to sharpen the senses of his players so that the mishap doesn't happen again.
The attention of his players should be a little higher anyway, because injuries occur within the squad.
The failure of Hannes Rambach means that the defense has to be rebuilt.
In attack, on the other hand, it is important to compensate for the loss of Dominik Karg, who strained his calf.
"I think we can close the gaps." The VfL coach is convinced that he can compensate for the absences.
There shouldn't be a lack of alternatives.
During the most recent training session, 20 highly motivated kickers came up.
