Ex-lion goalkeeper Michael Hoffmann explains in an Interview what it’s all for the TSV 1860 Munich in the ascent race of the 3. League is especially.
Munich– sorely needed 3-1 win in Uerdingen for the lions was, the results showed Wednesday. To Haching (1:3 against Braunschweig, Germany) were able to add all the competitors, it remains a historically tight race to promotion to the 2. League. “I am happy that we have found back after the defeat against Würzburg immediately on the road to success,” said 1860 coach Michael Köllner. If the lions can stay tuned? Tomorrow’s home match against Hansa Rostock (14 o’clock) will show. We talked with an optimist: Ex-Keeper Michael Hofmann (47). The BR-expert has Sixty firmly on the Rise list. Why, he explains in an Interview.
Mr. Hofmann, what is going through your head when you saw the line-up against Uerdingen?
I was skeptical. Eight new players – this was a big risk, this is Köllner went there. The Echo in the case of a defeat would have been rough. After the first half I was optimistic, as probably most of the audience. But: right, the wins has. At the end of Köllner has brought in did everything correctly, the quality of switches, three points. That my Frankish compatriot Kristian Böhnlein (in the future, in Schweinfurt, Germany. d. Red.) the compensation has fired, fits into the picture. With the Böhni had expected none.
What are the Lessons from the game?
Hofmann: first and foremost, that Sixty may be a more counter-oriented style of play successfully. This level of flexibility you need in a special situation with the English weeks. The squad is wide, the quality goes far beyond the first eleven players. Köllner can always unpack again someone. The hope for the Finish.
What is the rash?
Hofmann: Now it is in a positive sense on the killer instinct. Such a Situation was never there, there is no team with a Two-point cut, the load is the same for all enormously. Phrase or not, but now you get to lay as a professional all the concentration on the next game. Only Rostock is one.
Hansa, comes with two Victories to Giesing.
Hofmann: it is again a 50:50 thing. Rostock have an excellent Defensive. Even more important, it will not be lagging behind. Aaron Berzel I like to see in the interior defense, which is a real leader of the group. Well, that’s Sascha Mölders again. Tim Rieder (5. Yellow) you need to compensate.
your ascension prediction?
Hofmann: Five wins, then Sixty definitely in the Relegation. I even think that you will manage together with Duisburg directly. Rostock, Ingolstadt and Braunschweig to play Relegation. But now the Saturday for the first time.
