2123 people saw Viktoria Cologne’s first home game this season-one 1-0 victory against Wehen Wiesbaden. When the club hit Dynamo Dresden 2-1 from the ideal side of the Rhine, there were at the very least 3412 fans in the Höhenberg sports park. The backdrop will certainly be greater than 10 times as huge following Wednesday night: In the first round of the DFB Cup, Viktoria will satisfy the document champs FC Bayern-Dann in the preliminary of the DFB Mug in Müngersdorf arena, a few kilometers away.
Besides a couple of VIP tickets, the duel is already marketed out. Since the encounter with FC Bayern is transferred online on ARD and also a great demand for map was foreseeable at a beginning, the third division group decided to take the step to the opposite side of the Rhine. However, those responsible did not expect to be able to fill up all locations right away. The Höhenberg sports park, normally the house location of the 3rd division group, has a total amount of 10,000 places.
In the Rhine-Energy Arena, 1. FC Köln is usually in the house, but which was launched from the trophy against Jahn Regensburg in the first round at the end of July. Since the Munich homeowners made the Supercup versus RB Leipzig at the time, the game Viktoria versus Bavaria was moved to a later date.
Before the DFB Cup final between SC Freiburg and RB Leipzig, there is again stress between the two Bundesliga clubs. This time it is not about the final scarf.
As much harmony and calm as the two coaches Christian Streich and Domenico Tedesco radiated at the obligatory press conference before the DFB Cup final between SC Freiburg and RB Leipzig, both clubs are not.
After the infinite discussions about a common final scarf that the Freiburg rejected, there was now unrest about the final training. It is actually common for both teams to do their final training in Berlin. Training was trained in the litter stadium next to the Olympic Stadium so as not to unnecessarily strain the lawn after the relegation on Thursday.
As the bild reports, the unit in the Saxons looked strange: Leipzig drove up with two buses on the training ground, in sneakers and with a few balls the team went onto the square. After only five minutes inclusive walk and chat, the team drove off again.
Before DFB Cup final: Tedesco and Gulasci travel to a car
Accordingly, in Leipzig you were Sauer on Freiburg, because the sports club can decide as a “home team” when to train. The “guests” have to follow. But the Freiburger had only set their unit for 5 p.m., so that Leipzig could only have trained at 6.15 p.m.
That was too late for the Leipzigers, they took their final training to 10 a.m. and held it at home in Leipzig before leaving. However, training in Berlin is mandatory, so that the five-minute appearance was fulfilled.

Curious: To create the press conference at noon, trainer Tedesco and captain Peter Gulacsi even drove to Berlin in advance. However, the Freiburgers couldn’t do anything for that.
At the top is now all of the mathematically clear: FC Bayern is a master, even the next Champions League scorer canon can plan Robert Lewandowski a long time now. Coach Julian Nagelsmann has already announced that it also helps the last three game days to help a few talents at the deployment of deployment. At least one possible goal: The 100 goal mark is still within reach for 92 goals, the self-made Bundesliga record (101, 1971/72) too. In the previous year, the counter stopped at 99.
Certainly qualified for the Champions League is also Borussia Dortmund . And also for the runner -up championship – which had gone to Leipzig in the previous year – there is not much missing: With eight points ahead of the third Leverkusen, two points are enough from the last three appearances, including a guest appearance at relegated Fürth.
Leipzig still has three destinations – Freiburg still three direct duels
Bayer 04 Leverkusen has a firm eye on the Champions League since the weekend. Three points and the significantly better goal difference separate the SEOANE team from Fifth Freiburg – which she meets on matchday 34. A victory in direct duel could be enough for a top four position. However, the sixth Union Berlin and even the seventh 1. FC Köln are still lurking.
The best goal difference after Bayern is currently rb Leipzig . It could still become a trump card in the race for the premier class. After the painful 1: 2 defeat against Union Berlin, two points ahead of Freiburg, four on Union and five in Cologne must be defended for the Saxons. With the opponents Gladbach (A), Augsburg (H) and Bielefeld (A) this works well, but Leipzig has to play a European League semi-final in between-and then the DFB Cup final. As a European League winner, RB would also be safe in the Champions League.
For the SC Freiburg everything is still in the season finale-from Champions League qualification plus DFB Cup victory to nothing. However, the Breisgauer can hardly gamble away from the European Cup in itself: because the lead over the Each Hoffenheim is six points and because seventh place is likely to be enough for the Europa Conference League. With Hoffenheim (A), Union (H) and Leverkusen (A), the SC only plays against direct European competitors.
The 1. FC Union Berlin . In the case of two outstanding home games against Fürth and Bochum (and a guest appearance at Tabelnachbar Freiburg), the iron can hope to “rise” this time from the Europa Conference to the Europa League. In addition to the fifth, the sixth place is likely to be sufficient this season.
for Cologne also speak the opponents – in Hoffenheim it is also about Hoeneß
The 1. FC Köln benefit, who waves the European Cup comeback after five years. After three wins in a row, some FC fans have already calculated what is still missing until fourth place – there are five points, in view of the comparatively weak goal difference (+2), ultimately even six. Places five to seven are more realistic, which – because of the constellation in the DFB Cup final – all have a European Cup ticket. What speaks next to the form for the Baumgart team: with Augsburg (A), Wolfsburg (H) and Stuttgart (A), cellar children are waiting for their fate in the case of VfL and VfB.
The TSG Hoffenheim , still champions League candidate in winter, threatens to gamble the European Cup after the recent misery of six winless games. Even the seventh place is already three points away, and it still goes against Freiburg (h), Leverkusen (h) and Gladbach (A). Sebastian Hoeneß ‘future is also at stake: he is still bound until 2023, and it is considered a unwritten law not to go into a new season with a coach with a leakage contract.
For the table ninth Eintracht Frankfurt , the focus is no longer on the Bundesliga in the final weeks of the season. The big dream is the European League title in front of the semi-finals against West Ham, which would also be rewarded with a place in the Champions League group phase. Is that good news for the last three league opponents Leverkusen (A), Gladbach (h) and Mainz (A)?
eight options for Gladbach – Bochum are still missing two points
The 1. FSV Mainz 05 , the two -worst away team in the league, already has the relegation and no more prospects on Europe, but at the latest after 0: 5 in Wolfsburg, but still make up for something. And as is known, every place in the final table is worth TV money.
This is also the last “hard” goal for Borussia Mönchengladbach on the remaining match days when Leipzig (h), Frankfurt (A) and Hoffenheim (H) are waiting. From eighth to 15th place everything is still possible for the foals – curious, so exactly the palette, which is meaningless.
The VfL Wolfsburg is almost saved. At nine points ahead of the third last Stuttgart, the wolves are already running a point from the games in Stuttgart, Cologne and against Bavaria. The jump into the upper half of the table is still realistic at the end of a turbulent season.
The VfL Bochum is also almost at the goal of relegation – only he would have a completely different status at the promoted one than with the Wolfsburgers. Even if the competition gains consistently, the Bochumers only need a maximum of two points against Dortmund (A), Bielefeld (H) and Union (a). You have not been able to descend directly since the weekend.
Hertha can save himself on matchday 32 – VfB has to look down
In view of the passable goal difference, this also applies to the table-14. FC Augsburg , who can also secure the league remaining on matchday 32. A victory against Cologne would be sufficient – one in Leipzig (33rd) or against Fürth (34th) would alternatively go. Due to the low point distances up, the FCA can also hope for improvements in the TV ranking.
Before the season, the goals were completely different, but if it were over, Hertha BSc would certainly not have any objections. The 2-0 victory against pursuer Stuttgart means: against Bielefeld (a), Mainz (h) and Dortmund (a) at most four points to avert both direct descent and the relegation. If VfB loses against Wolfsburg in parallel, nothing could happen to Berliners with a win in Bielefeld. Then there would also be the two -worst goal difference in the league without consequences.
The VfB Stuttgart is where it was already at the end of the first half of the season: on the relegation place. With four points behind Hertha, outstanding games against Wolfsburg (H), Bavaria (A) and Cologne (h) and the form of Sunday, the Matarazzo-Elf must even look down: Bielefeld only has two points less (but that Clearly worse goal difference). At least four points are still needed to have a mathematical chance of direct relegation at all. It is not good news for VfB that Hertha and Bielefeld meet directly on the 32nd matchday. Both cannot win, but they don’t lose either.
The weak Arminia has lost again after the coaching change and no longer stayed in the league in his own hands. With a win against Hertha on Saturday, she would suddenly be fully in the race again. There is also an opportunity against Bochum (A) and Leipzig (H) to climb at least to the relegation place.
And the SpVgg Greuther Fürth ? It will leave the Bundesliga again after only one year. In the season finale, the future second division team still offers two opportunities not to say goodbye without an away win. It still goes to Union Berlin and FC Augsburg.
After the release of Lucien Favre, Edin Terzic Borussia Dortmund still led to the Champions League and the DFB Cup victory last year. His then assistant Sebastian Geppert has now described his view of this moving weeks at the BVB.
“They were very blurred days. The moment, when he was whistled in Berlin and we had the pot, I will never forget. That was incomprehensible. Somehow I was looking forward to everyone else than for me. For Edin, because I knew That he had earned the totally, “recalled today’s U17 coach in the interview with” Spox “.
Terzic had taken over the Dortmund professional team in December 2020 in a difficult position after he had previously been co-coach under Favre. Especially in the season finale, the team delivered among him, so some fans even wanted a further employment as a chief coach for the 39-year-old.
It was almost forgotten that the first games under Terzic were also very waxed. Crushed but never doubted to the qualities of his then boss.
“I’ve always believed in the idea and also because you will prevail and work because I was 100 percent convinced of Edin and our work,” said the Junior Coach.
Praise for Hummels – Back Cover for Moukoko at BVB
He also felt confidence in the joint work at that time – especially after there was some early defeat.
“In this phase, it helped someone like Mats [Hummels, Note d. Red.] And supported us, and supported us. That has driven us unemployed and also showed the relationship between players and coaching team,” said crushers out of.
A special relationship still connects him to Youssoufa Moukoko, which he once looked at the U17 itself. Despite his huge talent, crushed bonded to do not roughen the Youngster too much.
“You have to leave the church in the village and can not be nervous. He is 17 and could play a youth even in the next season. You just have to leave him time,” he asked.
That Moukoko will eventually make the next step, but it is clear to him: “I am firmly convinced that he will play a very important role in the future.”
“I played a very subordinate role this evening. There were no big meetings, no speeches,” strike on Thursday gave a little insight into the party expiration after moving into the DFB Cup on Tuesday in Hamburg (3: 1). In the Freiburg team hotel there was a pretty rare event: The Eloquent SC chief coach did not speak. “I did not want to say anything, but I thought, but I have to say something. But fortunately, the guys have turned the music right again, then I was ready after five seconds. Therefore, you can imagine that it is not unmissed was. “
Lightweight training sessions – game preparation especially “headache”
Its in the face of three wins in the recent three mandatory games so successful professionals, prank between the cuptriumph at HSV and the next trend-setting Bundesliga game on Saturday against Gladbach largely al1. After regeneration and player rating on Wednesday, the 56-year-old also put on Thursday only a slight unit with a few final exercises and renounced game analysis and opponent preparation. The video session should also be shorter than usual on Friday, which again lightweight training contain only a few points to activate the muscles.
It is important for his professionals, especially “headache”, after the intense duel with the HSV against the Borussia again the performance needed to success. With another threesome, the string eleven could win three league games in this successful season for the first time and further cement the European Cup ambitions. Streich excels this realistic scenario verbally: “It would be madness and incredible if we could win. Then we would not stand so badly.” With a Leverkusen point loss in Fürth, it would be 4th place.
But even regardless of the result on Saturday and the final placement, the often convincing achievements of the Freiburg actors have long been awakening desires. In the case of new national player Nico Schlotterbeck at the industry leaders Munich and Dortmund. For an offer in the range of 20 to 25 million euros, much for a sale of the center-back speaks, which is only employed by 2023 at the Sports Club. In addition, is to expect a breakout of the success team, with the prank and Co. had to deal as a surprise fifth in the summer of 2013?
“That does not work me,” giving pronds: “Most players have contracts, they feel very well and are not least reasonably successful because they are a certain peace in the environment and the care of our physios and with them in this club Trainers have. They do not get such a bad information of my co-trainers. Therefore, I have no concerns that there could be big changes. “
