VfL Denklingen meets FC Penzberg at home on Sunday.

A win would be extremely important for both teams.

Personnel problems continue to plague VfL.

Denklingen - It's once again about the claim to be able to play at the top of the rankings, to keep up with the top in the southern district league - for both opponents.

VfL Denklingen has the advantage of being the hosts in the home game against FC Penzberg on Sunday (3 p.m.).

In addition, he can approach the endeavor with two more points on the credit side.

On the other hand, personnel difficulties remain, which, contrary to all hopes, have only reduced to a limited extent.

VfL coach Markus Ansorge is happy at the moment if the already precarious situation doesn't get any worse.

The eyes are correspondingly anxious on Manuel Waibl, who had to stop training and seek treatment.

Waibl's ability to play remains open until kick-off.

If the second seeded central defender fails next to Tobias Ried, that's a massive blow to the VfL office.

The prospect of Michael Stahl returning will not materialize either.

And so Ansorge must be happy that in the form of Dominik Karg and Moritz Hemkendreis at least two kickers who were recently absent are back on the match report.

Karg after the relatively long downtime initially on the bench.

The VfL coach describes the squad situation before the hit against Penzberg as "not quite optimal".

Especially against the strong FCP he would have been only too happy to play with the "complete squad".

But with request concerts that's a thing in football.

So it has to go like this.

Of course with the necessary attention to the important things.

Ansorge emphasizes that FC Penzberg "can tear you apart if you let him play".

There is some evidence of this from practice, see the 7:2 in Neuhadern, the 7:3 at FC Deisenhofen II and the 5:0 against Wolfratshausen, whereby the BCF was severely weakened by replacements.

"The goal must be to keep the space tight, to attack early and to practice the pressing properly," Ansorge clarifies.

In view of the high number of goals conceded, the 55-year-old is about to turn away from letting his team start further up the field or act more offensively.

The deeper standing with the lightning-fast switching game was ultimately the "recipe for success in recent years".

The Penzbergers had the chance to catapult themselves into the circle of the top teams last week.

In the duel with SpVgg Haidhausen, however, they drew the short straw with 0:2.

A clever penalty and a goalless goal were responsible for the defeat.

It was also bitter that leading player Marco Hiry had to leave the field with a knee injury.

Coach Simon Ollert was generally in agreement with the appearance in Munich.

"It's the little things that we miss.

We have to work on these small moments,” was his conclusion.
