Gerrit #Holtmann trained today and could be fit for action. Jacek #Goralski is getting better and better. There's nothing wrong with including him in the squad. The Bayern game is still too early for Lys #Mousset.
Philipp #Förster isn't at 100 percent yet, he says so himself. We're working on getting him there. This week he took another step forward. In terms of the way he plays, he suits us perfectly.
Of course, we’ve worked on set plays this week and ironed out and issues. We want to do better, everyone on the pitch is responsible for that. We need security.
Bayern are very well-equipped, especially in their forwards. There is a lot of work ahead of us. But we're looking forward to this game and the fact that VfL can play against Bayern twice again this season.
There is always pressure. But it's still early in the season. We want to be uncomfortable opposition for the opponent and keep the game open for as long as possible on Sunday.
In 1972 after a match at Castroper Strasse, a minority of Bochum supporters started on some Bayern fans just outside our stadium.
VfL's fan group the Bochumer Jungen stepped in and helped the Bayern supporters. (2/4)
After helping, the Bochum fans invited the Bayern fans to a local pub in Bochum.
Both sets of fans shared a few drinks and told stories of their clubs and cities. From then on, a connection and friendship between the two clubs was formed. 🍻🤝 (3/4)
