TSV 1860 München - SC Freiburg

After their 0-1 defeat in Heidenheim and the big trouble again Sport Manager Poschner decide to leave 1860 Munich. He worked only under observation and a decision of him was planed in September / October but the pressure was to high now that he quiet. Not the best sign for 1860 above all after such a bad last season. The problems are there already and they have to look forward and turn things around immediately otherwise it would be the next difficult Season for them. With SC Freiburg they face a team who was relegated from 1.Bundesliga but they showed their strength already last monday with a 6-3 win over Nürnberg. This team has a lot of ambitions this Season although they lost a lot of players but they could build a new and strong team. Nevertheless 1860 must look for Points here, they are under pressure already.

The preparation to this game was not very important above all in their press conference all are asking about Poschner and no one has questions for this game what makes Coach Fröhling very angry. He said that the situation is not the best but they have to deal with it and must invest all their possible energy in this game. The players are thinking to much in the past days and he hopes that they have their heads free and play relaxed and without any fear to be a hard opponent for Freiburg in their stadium.
Personell are not many changes expected, only if both Okotie and Adlung can play. Both are slight injured and they must wait if they are ready. If both can play, all will be the same as in Heidenheim, if not they have with Hain, Wolf and Vollmann three players in hand who can take the positions. In defensive he has with Bülow and Rodnei also two guys on bench who should have the quality to start for 1860. Bülow can be an option in midfield too, he has showed his skills there and could be a really stabilizer there. With Stahl and Lacazette were two guys missed in the squad for today, but it is not out why.
Independent form squad they have to improve a lot above all their offensive play. This was almost nothing in Heidenheim and they are more as harmless. They created almost nothing and in second half they defend only. This is to less for 2.Bundesliga and ends in a disaster. Most of the players are too fearful and they have no self confidence what is needed to win matches.

After an average pre-season, where Freiburg was not able to get rolling above all in offensive they showed a different face last monday with an excellent 6-3 win against Nürnberg. The offensive actions were very fast and they could overcome Nürnberg easily. If they have the same power today it would be very hard for 1860 to stop them. The combination style was very acceptable and all their players are very quick and in drive as well. But after they were up 4-0 they stopped a bit playing and Nürnberg was able for a comeback to 3-4. This showed that Freiburg has also some weakness in defensive and if you play in such a close league you never should give less then 100% the whole match.
Coach Streich mentioned it already, the win was good but they have still a lot of work. His new build team need some time till they get all their power on the pitch over 90 minutes. But the basis is there and they can work on it from week to week to get better and better. All 3 offensive guys, Grifo, Petersen and Philipp has to continue and confirm their good performance from monday again. Compared to the game on monday, there are no changes expected. The alternatives are less anyway because with Kempf, Kübler and Möller-Daehli they miss 3 guys injured anyway.
