WSV aims to secure a pledge from Amin Bouzraa
The Wuppertaler SV (WSV) is set to kick off their 2023 season with a challenging match against KSV Hessen Kassel on Saturday at 3:15 PM in Willingen. The intense days leading up to the season opener are expected to test the squad's mettle before they face VfL Bochum in the Zoo Stadium for the season's first competitive fixture on Sunday at 3:30 PM.
Sporting Director Gaetano Manno is actively seeking an experienced central defender to bolster the team's ranks, with no concrete information available about the search's progress. In the meantime, a group of players, including Dominic Duncan, Semir Saric, Lennard Wagemann, and Salmin Rebronja, will be receiving treatment in Willingen and are expected to join the team.
Gaetano Manno views the WSV's 0:1 defeat against SSVg. Velbert not as a warm-up, but as the first appearance of a heavily changed squad. The loss, however, does not deter the team's ambitions, as they aim for a victory against KSV Hessen Kassel, not only for the promotion of the season opener but also to set a positive tone for the upcoming season.
René Klingbeil, former coach of KSV Hessen Kassel, played a crucial role in saving the North Hessians from relegation with a strong second half of the previous season. The WSV has had a mixed record against KSV Hessen Kassel in recent years, with a 1:5 loss in the preseason of 2022, a 1:4 defeat a year earlier, and a 4:4 draw in January 2021.
Amin Bouzraa, a player whose negotiations with WSV have been the subject of speculation, has been out of action for several months due to tearing his cruciate ligament. As of the latest available information, no official details regarding the negotiations have been released.
In other news, Amin's current club is unspecified. The costs associated with his injury have been covered by the Professional Association after six weeks. The WSV and its fans eagerly await updates on the negotiations and Amin's potential addition to the team.
For more detailed historical match results or schedule information from the 2023 season for WSV, fans are encouraged to check the WSV's official website, league websites, or sports news platforms covering German football.
In the search for a central defender, Sporting Director Gaetano Manno aims to strengthen the WSV squad before they compete in the Champions League and other European leagues. The team, including players Dominic Duncan, Semir Saric, Lennard Wagemann, and Salmin Rebronja, are undergoing treatment before their 2023 season opener against KSV Hessen Kassel in the Champions League.
