Positive Approach: Kiel Advocates for Classroom Presence rather than Anxiety - Survival through camaraderie: Kiel advocates for class solidarity over fear
Hey there! Let's dive into the thrilling tale of Holstein Kiel's relentless pursuit for survival in the Bundesliga.
The coach, Marcel Rapp, is remarkably unfazed by the relegation drama. "I ain't feeling no pressure, mate. We ain't got naught to lose here, we're just gainin' somethin'" Rapp declared, gearin' up for their final home game against SC Freiburg on Saturday (3:30 PM/Sky). "Reckon if we slide down, it'd be a bummer for us, but it's regular stuff for many. What's sensationable is we're still fightin' for the relegation playoff," he added.
With just two games leftover in the season, Kiel's lurkin' only one point behind 1. FC Heidenheim for the 16th relegation playoff spot. The Schleswig-Holsteiners have been celebratin' wins against Gladbach and Augsburg recently.
Rapp's still got his worries, though. His striker, Shuto Machino,'s been carryin' an injury. luckily, the Japanese player's been trainin' individually durin' the week and is expected to be fit for the clash against the Champions League contender.
So, what's the story here? Well, Kiel's been on a good run, sportin' good form. The battleground ain't over yet, as they still got a chance to stay put, which no one'dve believed at the season's start. The difference between 'em and others? They're tacklin' this with joy, not fear. Rapp's right, that's an advantage.
Now, let's break down the team's situation:- Kiel's currently riskin' automatic relegation, but they're closin' in on the relegation play-off spot[3].- Other teams at risk include Bochum, Heidenheim, Hoffenheim, and St. Pauli, with St. Pauli holdin' the better position[1][2].
To secure a spot in the relegation playoff, Kiel must win and hope Heidenheim does not. They could also snatch the spot if both Heidenheim and St. Pauli, or other teams below them, drop points[2].
Their upcoming match is a critical one against Freiburg, a win here could drastically boost their survival hopes[3]. So, here's to Kiel, may their spirit and joy lead 'em to where they wanna be!
