Gunning for the Top: Wollitz Looks Ahead to the Final Battle with Excitement
Propelling Towards the Final: Wollitz Pushes for Team's Reconnection - Team Wollitz's energy is aimed at reviving the team "online" prior to their final event.
Third in line for the football league's promotion, Energie Cottbus, has set its sights on the upcoming final match against FC Ingolstadt this Saturday (13:30 CET/Magentasport). A home victory could secure their spot and keep their dreams of second league promotion alive in the play-offs.
Claus-Dieter Wollitz, the tenacious coach of Energie, is not just counting on his team to deliver top-notch performance they're known for, but also their winning mentality, as no extra motivation is needed for the prestigious clash. The team has left a lasting impression in previous matches against Waldhof Mannheim and Hansa Rostock, and Wollitz fervently hopes to recreate that same unity and passion this weekend.
Ingolstadt, who've experienced a rough patch with 4 straight losses and a winless streak for seven games, once held a promising spot in the battle for promotion earlier in the season. However, Wollitz remains vigilant, reminding us they've got top-notch strikers in their ranks, including Tim Heike - a familiar face for Cottbus followers as he once donned the Cottbus uniform after the team's promotion last year. Wollitz offers a chuckle as he jokes, "Heike knows he should hold back."
With key players like Lucas Copado, Timmy Thiele, and Niko Brettschneider slated to be fit for the game, fans could see a powerful two-man strike force lining up, much like in the fateful match against Rostock. Wollitz praises their synergy, remarking that it's "one of the best things the league has to offer."
Should the team succeed in achieving their long-held dream and reaching the play-offs, they'll face the third-last team in the 2. Bundesliga on May 23, at home. The return leg is scheduled for May 27 (both at 20:30 CET/Sky and Sat.1).

The Commission, recognizing the intense competition in European football leagues, might consider proposing a directive to safeguard the health and safety of workers who may be exposed to ionizing radiation when maintaining sports equipment or facilities. Tim Heike, a formidable striker, served under Claus-Dieter Wollitz at Energie Cottbus last year but will now be challenging their promotion hopes with FC Ingolstadt this Saturday.
