Leitl: points for even more smile

It s an important game for us, the 44-year-old knows about the meaning of the newcomer duel - especially after five defeats in series. He does not want to overall the meeting of the two bottom of the table: It s only the 8th match day, it is still much possible. For Leitl it is no surprise that the SPVGG and the VfL are currently at the end of the table. It was both clear from the outset that it will be an extremely difficult year and both teams will certainly find themselves in the outsider role.

While Bochum has already won a Bundesliga game this season through the 2-0 over Mainz on the 2nd matchday, the clover sheep 2021/22 is still waiting for such a success experience. If not against Bochum, against whom then?! , Many Fürther fans hope against the weakest away team of the league (zero points, 1:13 gates) on the first home-fucking of their club in the upper house after so far five draws and 15 defeats.

Please do not speak of bad times now

From such thoughts, Leitl keeps just as little as the game to titulate as a final to maintain any opportunities yet . Of course, the native of Munich is right with 27 outstanding league games, but it is also clear: a threesome would not only be important for the score accounted with a counter, but above all for the head to fight for new courage and optimism in the fight to ensure the league. Both were given in parts of the environment in parts of the environment in the face of the start of the year and six defeats.

We forther we should enjoy all of us, that we play in the Bundesliga and we have developed that, said Leitl on the Game Tag Press Conference on Thursday to put the positive in the foreground. I look at this despite these results as a beautiful and challenging time everyone can look forward to. We could now speak of a bad time when we would prove this table in the 2nd league, but not now of bad times speak, the coach appealed. And promised: We will score, and then it will be the one or the one or another more a smile in the face.

sticking point standard situations

In order to get countable against Bielefeld on the 2nd match day against Bielefeld on the 2nd match day, Fürth does not just have to turn individual mistakes in crucial situations, but also the mostly notorious standard weakness. Seven goals, the SPVGG has already cashed for resting balls this season - each one after a penalty and penalty, five already five after corner balls. Also in the country break at the 2: 3 test set leaflet against second division Heidenheim, the shamrock had to accept two standard counterplace.

We have naturally addressed and trained the standard situations. That was already a point that was very high up, explains Leitl. The boys have to learn that standard situations are a very important moment in football and that they are often showing in the offensive and defensive. We need to be even more concentrated in these situations, he asks and is convinced that we are convinced that we are constituting standards will be better defended in the future .

It should also contribute its part to Marius Funk, who has replaced the previous parentkeeper Sascha Buhrert as a new number 1 before the country break at the 1: 3 in Cologne. Little surprisingly, the 25-year-old may also guard against Bochum and in the future the gate of SPVGG. On this position you do not exchange week for week. Marius has earned this now. He has made a very good game in Cologne in my eyes - and in this training week that was really good of him, said Leitl and is Sure: He will make a good game and give us stability. It is also urgent need, is Fürth not only the weakest home team of the league (a point, 2: 6 goals), but also leaves most of the opposing opportunities (56).

Nielsen definitely falls out

Whether Maximilian Bauer can help to live against Bochum less, is still open: the central defender was hit on Tuesday at the international match of the German U-21 national team in Hungary (5: 1) and spared on Thursday. Should he participate in the final training on Friday, the 21-year-old is in the squad. In addition to the long-term injured Gideon Jung (knee-op), Robin Kehr (cruciate ligament and meniscal injury) and Jessic Ngankam (Cruciate tape crack) is definitely offensively Havard Nielsen with an ankle violation.

Nevertheless, courage in terms of Saturday, Leitl makes the most recently ascending form of his team: We have acted in the last few weeks with the opponents at eye level, at home as outward. We want to build on these achievements and reward us with a victory. So that the belief in the class content receives new energy.
