"St. Paul's Storm Peak's contentious struggle is kept in check by Blessin, as portrayed in 'Gar not evil': Regulating the fiery disputes"
FC St. Pauli, the Kiez club, has made a stunning start to the new season, scoring seven goals in the first three league games. Midfielder Andréas Hountondji, who has scored in every league game, has set a club record. However, the upcoming game against VfB Stuttgart on Friday evening (8:30 PM) may see a change in the starting lineup, as Trainer Alexander Blessin is considering starting Martijn Kaars, the new center forward signed by St. Pauli.
Hountondji, on loan from Premier League club Burnley, has been a consistent performer, but he had stomach pain, was a bit tired, and had some muscle problems in the game against Augsburg, likely due to a preceding international trip. This effect was clearly visible in the final stages of the Augsburg game.
Kaars, who cost around four million euros in transfer fees, has been pushing for a starting spot. He worked hard against the ball, was dangerous several times, and had a good chance he couldn't convert in the game against Augsburg. Kaars has also scored two goals in the current season.
Blessin is discussing the current situation, roles, and playing time transparently with the two strikers. The coach praises Hountondji, saying he did "very, very well" in the games so far. However, Blessin sees the competitive situation between Hountondji and Kaars positively. A striker who scores isn't easily replaced from the starting lineup, especially if he also works hard against the ball or sprints deep when required, like Hountondji.
Despite this, Blessin is happy with the performance of both strikers and is pleased to have both in the team. No specific information is available about which player Blessin will likely start in the match against VfB Stuttgart on Friday evening.
Meanwhile, the MOPO of the week will be available on Friday with topics including the Block Connection, Enough is enough, Climate protection, Rockers' murder, Large puzzle supplement, 20 pages of sports, and 28 pages of Plan7. The live ticker for the St. Pauli vs VfB Stuttgart game will be available at MOPO.de.
St. Pauli has set an exclamation mark with their impressive start to the season, but the upcoming game against VfB Stuttgart promises to be a challenging test. Regardless of who starts, the fans can expect a hard-fought battle from the Kiez club.
