Not a trace of Christmas contemplation: The Peißenberg "Miners" will be fully challenged in the coming days.
Things are particularly turbulent for Friday opponents Kempten.
Peißenberg
– Four games within eight days await the Peißenberg “Miners” in the Bayernliga before and after Christmas.
"An important phase," says coach Sepp Staltmayr.
If the Peissenbergers score properly during this time, they will probably no longer be able to take a place in the championship round.
A look at the next opponents shows, however, that it will not be easy for the "Miners" to fill up the points account.
After all, it's three times against teams from the front field.
Bitter defeat for the "Miners" against Kempten in the first leg
The guest performance at ESC Kempten (7:30 p.m.) will start this Friday (December 23).
The Peissenbergers suffered a bitter defeat in the first leg against the “Sharks”, who are currently in eighth place.
Practically with the final siren, the Kempten team scored the winning goal to make it 4:3.
"Of course we want to make up for the defeat," says Staltmayr.
According to him, his team goes into the second leg against the Allgäu with great motivation, where a lot has happened since the last meeting.
Coach Brad Miller had to resign due to the lack of sporting success with the ambitious Kempteners.
Kempten have signed Canadian striker Raphael Gosselin
However, the new coach, Harald Waibel, is still waiting for a win.
In its three appearances, the ESC lost three times with a difference of one goal.
During the week, the Allgäu committed a new foreigner.
Canadian striker Raphael Gosselin will make his debut against Peißenberger.
The Czech Dan Przybyla therefore has to leave the ESC.
“Kempten has gained new impetus through the change of coach and now also the change of players.
Nevertheless, we are going there to win,” announced Staltmayr.
The yield of the Peißenberger abroad was recently rather meager: In four games there was only one win.
ESCDorfen is coached by veteran coach Franz Steer
On Boxing Day, December 26th, the Miners will have a solvable task on paper when twelfth in the table, ESC Dorfen, comes to the Ammer (5:45 p.m.).
"But that won't be a walk in the park," speculates Staltmayr.
The "Miners" coach expects considerable resistance from the "Ice Pirates", who are coached by veteran coach Franz Steer.
“They have a young team that gives it 60 minutes.
Above all, we have to fight back," demands Staltmayr.
Already in the first leg, the Dorfener caused the "Miners" considerable problems.
The Peissenbergers only won 6:5 after extra time with a lot of effort.
Sinan Ondörtoglu should be carefully built up after his long break
In terms of personnel, the "Miners" can draw on almost unlimited resources for the upcoming two games.
Only the use of defender Manuel Singer, who is injured, is questionable.
Should he drop out, Maximilian Brauer, who last played on offense, will return to defense.
Brauer's position in attack could then be taken over by Sinan Ondörtoglu, who made his comeback last week after a long injury break.
"But we want to build it up slowly," emphasizes Staltmayr.
He wants to carefully increase the load on his strong 20-year-old striker.
