Germania Eicherscheid is fighting against a personnel shortage: home game against Uevekoven!

In the district league, Germania Eicherscheid collected an impressive 13 points in the first seven games of the season. This achievement is particularly pleasing given the tense personnel situation. Coach Sandro Bergs leads his team with a thin staff that includes several injured players. He explained: “On two occasions we only had ten or eleven first-team outfield players available.” Despite these challenges, Bergs has maintained a good training routine, keeping some players fit in case of emergency and occasionally calling on talent from the second team.

The results so far speak for themselves: The Eicherscheiders won all three home games by just one goal, and in the most recent away game in Oidtweiler they achieved their first win away from home this season. The 1:2 derby defeat against TV Konzen was particularly painful, which Bergs classified as unnecessary. Nevertheless, the coach remains optimistic because his team can defeat any opponent, but also emphasizes the danger: “The performance density is tight, the league is balanced.” He mentions that both relegated and promoted teams are in good shape.

Looking forward to the upcoming game

On Sunday, at 3 p.m., Eicherscheid will welcome the Sportfreunde Uevekoven at the local sports field on Bachstrasse. Both teams are under pressure to stay close to the top of the table. Uevekoven is considered a strong opponent and Bergs highlights the quality of the squad by mentioning players Joshua Holtby, Danny Richter and Sven Jansen by name. Despite the statistics - Eicherscheid won all three home games, while Uevekoven couldn't score away - the coach is cautiously optimistic and firmly believes that his team can win the game.

The way the coach looks at the challenges ahead also shows his concern about the current flu epidemic, which could lead to further departures from the team. He hopes that his cell phone doesn't ring too often before training sessions so that he doesn't have to make additional cancellations. Ultimately, all eyes are on Sunday's game, not only as a chance to continue the good run, but also to boost morale and team spirit in an already difficult season.

There are also some exciting games coming up for the competition on Sunday: Roetgen meets Oidtweiler, Welldorf-Güsten plays against Richterich, and Alem. Mariadorf welcomes DJK FV Haaren. The conditions of the league make it clear that every point counts and every game is a challenge. Fans can look forward to exciting encounters as their teams try to stay ahead in the promotion race.

The combination of a tight league, absences due to injuries and the constant search for stable performances makes the season a noticeably exciting affair. Further details on this topic can be found at www.aachener-zeitung.de.
