Wintercheck in the northwest: coaches take stock of the first half of the season!

A current survey entitled "Wintercheck" asked the coaches and club representatives in the northwest of football to assess their first half of the season. Steffen Janßen from VfL Oldenburg II was basically satisfied with the first half of the season. However, he emphasized that the team showed inadequate exploitation of opportunities in two games, although opportunities were played out in all games. For the second half of the season, the goal lies in a better exploitation of the opportunities and a more flexible playing style.

Janßen also made it clear that no external change is planned during the upcoming winter break. A positive news for the team is that Frederick Lilie came to the squad during the first half of the season. In addition, Hanno Kühlcke, who was injured in the first half of the season, will be active again in the second half of the season. Ahmad Jallow's return is also expected with hope. In the next few days, players will demonstrate their skills for several indoor tournaments, including December 27th in Petersfehn and on December 28th in Sandkrug. The preparation for the second half of the season starts on February 7, 2025 with planned test games against FC FW Zetel, SV Achternmeer, VfL Wildeshausen and SV Altenoythe.
