Marko Johansson: Chance of a lifetime against Preußen Münster!

Marko Johansson: Chance of a lifetime against Preußen Münster!

Will Marko Johansson be the hero of Eintracht Braunschweig? Next Sunday, October 27th, all attention will be on the Swedish goalkeeper when Preußen Münster visits the Lions. After the suspension for goalkeeper Lennart Grill, who drew attention to himself with a fatal blackout against Hertha BSC Berlin, Johansson could have the big chance to prove himself as a reliable goalkeeper.

Johansson, who was brought in from Hamburger SV in August, was originally only supposed to take on the role of substitute keeper after the original replacement, Tino Casali, seriously injured his knee. But now the Lions' fate could depend on his performance. Coach Daniel Scherning remains vague and did not want to give a clear forecast for the future: “I think that now is not the right moment to talk about things that might be in one, three or eight weeks.” Nevertheless, he emphasizes that performance is his top priority and that Johansson will have the chance to be recommended for the starting eleven.

Johansson in the firing line

The pressure is enormous because every point counts for Eintracht against Münster. Both teams are separated by just one point on the table, which could make the duel a real “six-point game”. Scherning confirms: "We are in competitive sport. Mistakes are part of it. But performance is evaluated. Accordingly, it is an opportunity for Marko." Johansson has the opportunity to lay the foundation for his future in goal while Grill has to sit on the bench. The big questions are: Can Johansson give Eintracht the triumph they need and establish themselves permanently in the box? The answer could be given as early as Sunday!
