How does Florian Kohfeldt look at the upcoming away game at FC Schalke 04? What content is the focus of the current training work? And how does the head coach of SV Darmstadt 98 assess the Lilies' sporting situation? Kohfeldt answered these and other questions in the press conference on Wednesday (September 18th). We have summarised the most important statements for you.
As part of our monthly fan evenings, we would like to provide the opportunity for exchange between the club and its members and fans. We are generally of the opinion that we have to constantly develop, improve and design many things together at the converted Bölle. We would therefore like to turn to the various stands at irregular intervals during our fan evenings. And then, using the results and experiences we have collected, we will devote ourselves to the overall stadium experience and its areas of conflict.
New week – fresh news. In the current issue of “Lilies across the Board” we report on Kai Klefisch’s dream goal, which was nominated for “Goal of the Month” by the ARD Sportschau. There is also all the information about a Lilies fan team that has been unbeaten in six games and we take a look at the final match day of the Blind Football Bundesliga. As always, you can find all the important topics of the week in our “Lilies across the Board” section.
Last year, the Merck Stadium became a huge open-air bedroom for the first time. The campaign had a serious background: In order to draw attention to the issue of homelessness in Germany and especially in the Darmstadt region, SV 98 organised an overnight stay in the stadium for a good cause. This year the event will be held again; on the night of November 1st to 2nd, the Bölle will once again become a large open-air dormitory.
The SV 98 U21s were unable to take any points back to Darmstadt in the away game last Saturday (September 14th). Coach Daniel Petrowsky's team lost 3-0 to second-placed RW Walldorf in the Hessenliga.
It was one of those moments that can literally make things explode. After an hour, Fraser Hornby moved decisively into the penalty area and confidently nailed his shot under the crossbar. 2-0, a blue and white crowd of cheers in front of the south stand, ecstasy in the stands. But less than two minutes later, the disillusionment came: after the video assistant intervened, Hornby's goal was taken back, the score was turned back to 1-0 and something happened to the SV 98 team that ultimately led to the guests from Braunschweig taking a point from the game.
A late goal meant the points were shared in Florian Kohfeldt's head coach debut. We have summarised the voices about the game for you.
The first point under the new head coach Florian Kohfeldt has been collected: the Lilies took the lead but Eintracht Braunschweig levelled to make it 1-1 (1-0). Sergio Lopez scored for the home team in the first half. Braunschweig's Szabo equalised late in the second half.
As is well known, Florian Kohfeldt has to do without the long-term injured Matthias Bader, Paul Will and Fabian Holland for his debut as Lilien head coach, and Oscar Vilhelmsson is also missing with adductor problems and goalkeeping coach Dimo Wache (due to illness). Fraser Hornby will be in the starting lineup for the first time this season in the game against Eintracht Braunschweig (September 14th/1pm).
SV 98 has had an eventful international break. When Florian Kohfeldt makes his debut, the Lilies will host Eintracht Braunschweig on Saturday (14.09/1pm). Before kick-off sounds at the Merck Stadium, we will provide you with all the important information about the game between Eintracht Braunschweig and Darmstadt 98.
