Krefeld The A-League team will receive the third division team in Homberg on Wednesday for the Niederrhein Cup game and is expecting up to 1000 spectators. The new coach is making his debut with the zebras.
The course has been set and everyone is now waiting for it to finally start. On Wednesday evening the cup game of the 2nd Lower Rhine round between the soccer A-division club FC Hellas Krefeld and the third division club MSV Duisburg will take place in the Homberg PCC stadium. For the Greeks, it is less about getting ahead, than about selling themselves well and getting out of the affair respectfully. Hellas manager Alexandros Ouzounis jets back from his short trip to Greece on the day of the match, a day earlier than planned, whereby the 56-year-old set the course in advance with his large group of fellow campaigners.

After the discussions about changing stadiums, it was still about the police requirements, the security service and many other relevant things around the game. By the way, the police will be clearly present when the weather is right and the fact that the third division team has just signed a new coach with Hagen Schmidt from Borussia Mönchengladbach’s U17 (for Pavel Dotchev), especially since numerous curious MSV supporters are expected . Hellas himself hopes for a backdrop of around 1000 spectators. Anecdote on the side: when asked Schmidt at his first press conference in Duisburg whether he knows the opponent: “Of course we watched the Krefeld team last Sunday. You have to show respect for every opponent and take them seriously. “

arrive by bus. “Of course, our coaches Marcus Felix and Costa Bruckmann did not observe the MSV in Zwickau during the last away game. There are only five different classes. We just enjoy, ”says Ouzounis with a slight smile. With ball boys, files, cash dispensers, drinks and grill stands (there are two of the souvlali skewers from FC Hellas, which are known beyond Krefeld), the blue-whites will have a total of around 40 helpers on site. Over 300 tickets have already been sold online in Duisburg. In advance sales last Sunday at the home game of Krefeld at the stainless steel arena against Dülken, a large number was added.
