FC St. Pauli's Second Division Dominance: Calmund's Awe-Inspiring Impressions
Ex-Bundesliga manager, Reiner Calmund, can't hide his admiration for FC St. Pauli's soccer spectacle after witnessing their 2:0 win at SV Elversberg. Calmund, who lives nearby in Saarlouis, was also present during Elversberg's 2:1 victory over HSV. He acknowledged HSV's near-perfection in terms of tempo and tactics but noted that St. Pauli's performance surpassed all expectations.
Calmund, now 75 years young, was blown away by the Lions' compact and extraordinary display. Though mainly a spectator of Elversberg's home matches, Calmund's enthusiasm for FC St. Pauli's tactical prowess is unquestionable.
Though Calmund doesn't discuss specific statistical aspects of FC St. Pauli's performance, recent results suggest a mix of consistency and inconsistency. Following a 2:0 defeat against RB Leipzig and a 1:1 draw with FC Augsburg, St. Pauli outclassed Union Berlin with a 3:0 victory.
Cornerstone players like Johannes Eggestein and Morgan Guilavogui have stood out in St. Pauli's recent triumphs, with Eggestein's penalty goal against Heidenheim and Guilavogui's late winner against Elversberg being notable contributions.
Calmund's enchantment with FC St. Pauli's soccer has left an indelible impression on his mind – an experience that he's yet to witness in the Bundesliga's second division.
