Pichler fights to return to the starting eleven of Holstein Kiel!

Kiel. Benedikt Pichler, the 27-year-old striker of Holstein Kiel , is under pressure! After a disappointing performance at VfB Stuttgart (1: 2), he was banished to the bank. The aspiring talent Phil Harres has taken his place in the storm, who in the 1-0 victory against the 1. FC Heidenheim shone and played into the starting eleven. A hard blow for Pichler, who was only able to collect eleven minutes in the last games.

Despite the bitter disappointment, Pichler remains prudent and shows himself self-critically: "I had too many simple ball losses and made false decisions." He fully accepts the coach Marcel Rapp's decision after he did not see himself as 100 percent fit. "If you don't deliver in the Bundesliga, another player will come to it," said Pichler, who is determined to fight back. "I have already performed well this season and I am confident that I can work again in the first eleven."

The next chance for Pichler could come to SV Werder Bremen (3:30 p.m.) next Saturday. Holstein Kiel strives to confirm the historic first Bundesliga victory and to get air in the relegation battle. "We have to prove it ourselves and put it on it against Bremen," says Pichler. He knows that the team has already celebrated success in Bremen in the past and has only one goal: to take points with you!
