After the win against Köln, SV 98 has now started preparing for the home game against SSV Ulm. Luca Marseiler answered questions from media representatives after training on Wednesday and spoke, among other things, about the differences between the second and third leagues.

„When I come to a new team, I’m the quiet one first of all – for three days.“ Luca Marseiler didn’t need a long time to make a name for himself with the Lilies as the mood cannon in the dressing room. And he also did it on the field. The 27-year-old mastered the jump from the third to the second division relatively quickly. Although the pace and individual quality of individual players in the new league are a little higher, the daily training alone ensures that these qualities are developed I could get used to it in a fairly short period of time.
Marseiler would also like to do his part in the upcoming home game against SSV Ulm in order to be able to score three points again after the success against Köln. The newcomer calls Ulm a “strong team” from which the Lilies “don’t have to hide.”
Grinning, the offensive player added that Sunday might be the time for his debut goal. Whether in the starting line-up or as a substitute, it makes no difference for Marseiler. „Many games are only decided in the second half. „And the previous games have already proven what impact the Munich native can have from the bench.

Darmstadt's 2-1 defeat at Karlsruher SC also ended any remaining theoretical hopes the South Hessian club had of finishing the season in the top three.
