It is the biggest game of this millennium for the traditional Saarland club!
1. FC Saarbrücken will meet Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen in the semi-finals of the DFB Cup on Tuesday evening (8:45 p.m. / live on ARD and in the BILD live ticker), dreaming of the first round of the final after the sensational performances in the previous rounds. Despite the fact that FCS have been banned from playing for 94 days due to Corona, the club has a big chest hit.
HEROES ARE THE SAARBRÜCKER – NOW YOU CAN BE GODS!
Coach Lukas Kwasniok (38) full of confidence: “We were the first fourth division team to write club and football history in the semi-finals. Now we want to write sports history. “
And how is Saarbrücken planning the first final move in the fourth attempt? Kwasniok: “Our motto is: Better disgusting than not. Disgusting in the sense of slit-eared, uncomfortable, but fair. If you want to write sports history, you have to fight with the weapons you have. We want the Leverkusen team to say after the season that Saarbrücken were the most disgusting team they had to play against. ”
Kwasniok has been making his men really hot for days. The team watched the Bundesliga match between Bayern and Leverkusen in the quarantine hotel on Saturday. The coach laughed: “To be able to watch the next opponent and the one after next in a game is awesome. It’s good that we only have Bayern in the final. ”
With this self-confidence, Kwasniok took over the job in Saarbrücken from Dirk Lottner (48) at the beginning of the year. Lottner was active as a player for Bayer and as FCS coach still responsible for the victories against Regensburg and Cologne.
Lottner does not believe that Saarbrücken has a chance this time: “Bayer has to do a lot wrong so that there can still be a cup miracle. Saarbrücken has been without a game for almost three months. And without fans the whole cup flair is gone. “
Kwasniok’s counterattack: “This is coffee grounds reading. Even in the rounds before, you always needed that little bit of luck, otherwise you would hardly have had a chance against Cologne or Düsseldorf! ”
