MSV Duisburg - VfR Aalen

 

For the start into the new season hosts MSV Duisburg newcomer VfR Aalen today. Both with many difficulties in their pre-season but both with different reasons. The day is come to show which team are able to let all this behind and look forward for a good start.

It’s a difficult situation for Coach Reck today because he has to improve a lot. For his defense line up he has to replace Timo Perthel and Julian Koch according to news that MID Kevin Wolze has to play there. Also Playmaker Jürgen Gjasula will miss the match and moreover a little bit longer. He is absolutely important for MSV and their play. While Gjasula is out they searched for a replacement and found one at Borussia Dortmund. They signed Antonio DaSilva from them. He should help now to get the midfield problem solved. Also new in the starting line up should be new signing form Paderborn Sören Brandy. He is very quick in his actions and can create a lot of danger. For the position upfront Reck has to choose from Domovchiyski and new signing Jovanovic who came from Düsseldorf.

After promotion all was ok and euphoric at Aalen but some month later it looks like that something has changed a lot. They played a weak pre-season and moreover their coach got ill and was away for some weeks. Manager Schupp talks that he search maybe for a new coach if Hasenhüttl can not comeback soon. But after last week he is back in action and was on the pitch to lead the training. In summer break they signed a lot of players, overall 9 but as i read only 3 made it into the starting line up. Benjamin Hübner from SV Wehen Wiesbaden should replace injured Mössmer while on the wing Buballa from FSV Mainz II should be  favored. Upfront they signed top scorer Reichwein from Erfurt and together with Lechleitner he should be a dangerous duo. It also depend a lot how players react one class higher above all their top players from last season. Can they raise themselves and hold the higher level or are they unable fort his?
