PSV Eindhoven's opposition, Lackhausen, fail to pose a significant challenge in the cup competition.
PSV Lackhausen to Face ETB SW Essen in Niederrheinpokal
PSV Lackhausen's coach, Björn Assfelder, is gearing up for an important clash against Oberligist ETB SW Essen in the Niederrheinpokal. The match is scheduled for Sunday at 3 pm, taking place at the Molkereiweg.
Assfelder was not impressed with his team's performance in their last test against SV Haldern, which resulted in a 1:3 defeat. He criticized his team's lethargy and lack of clarity in their attacking play, as well as their play against the ball, stating that the distances and runs were not correct and many wrong decisions were made.
Despite this, Assfelder believes that his team should have progressed further than they did in their last test. He hopes that his team will follow the instructions he gives them in the upcoming match against ETB SW Essen.
In the past, PSV has played five competitive games against ETB SW Essen, all of which were won by the Esseners. However, Assfelder does not expect his team to play "magic football" like Bayern Munich, and instead plans to adapt to the opponent's playing style at their level.
Assfelder believes that if PSV plays like they did against VfB Homberg from the 7th minute onwards, he will be satisfied with their performance. Noah Karschti, a young RWO recruit, has good potential to replace Necati Güclü on the left offensive position, but Assfelder did not expect a leadership role from Karschti in his first senior year.
A possible alternative for the upcoming match could be Jost Gerards, who returns from Australia and joins training on Tuesday. Gerards' return could provide a boost to the PSV squad, as many players still have a large training deficit, as the test in Haldern showed.
The record against the Schwarz-Weißen includes close matches in the Niederrheinpokal in 2011 and 2012, with scores of 1:2 and 5:6 after penalty shootouts. Assfelder emphasized that these results are in the past and his team is focused on the present.
The coach of PSV Wesel, Björn Assfelder, expects his team to show courage, self-confidence, and not hide against ETB SW Essen. Sebastian Kaiser will continue to guard the goal and keep the captain's armband.
The match between PSV and ETB SW Essen ended 0:3, but PSV caused some problems for the guests afterwards. Fans of PSV Lackhausen can expect a competitive match, with the team showing determination to improve on their recent performance.
Björn Assfelder, the coach of PSV Lackhausen, hopes that his team will apply the instructions given to them as they face ETB SW Essen in a competitive sports game, specifically the Niederrheinpokal. Despite their previous losses against ETB SW Essen, Assfelder encourages his team to play with courage on the football field, aiming to improve their performance and possibly win the upcoming match.
