Rostock chases Cottbus: Derby The climber makes the league exciting!

In East German football there is a deliberate duel today when FC Hansa Rostock meets FC Energie Cottbus. Coach Daniel Brinkmann emphasizes that it is "not a game like any other" because both teams ride on a wave of success. Rostock, stabilized since Brinkmann's takeover, is currently taking eighth place and would like to reduce the gap to the leaders Cottbus to just five points with a win. This chance comes especially for the Hanseatic residents, since the leader, Cottbus, has to do without his best striker Timmy Thiele, who is due to an illness, like ndr.de reported.

high security east duel with the derby character

at 1:30 p.m. is kicked off in the friendship stadium, and despite the explosive signs, the game is classified not only because of the sporting competition as a high -risk game. Numerous police hundreds are present at the game, and there is no alcohol for the guest fans in the block, which also increases the heated atmosphere. Coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz has personnel bottlenecks because of a flu wave in his team, which continues to complicate the situation at Cottbus, such as Sportschau.de describes.

The Rostockers are optimistic: in the last five games they collected four victories and are in the best form. "We have built up our self-confidence so far that we can go to Cottbus with a wide chest," said Brinkmann, who sees the chance to bring the derby character to the field. The last meeting of the two traditional clubs was six years ago when Cottbus won against Rostock. The anticipation for today's game is great and the fans of both sides can adjust to an intensive duel.
