Klose Drucking game: Does the 1. FC Nürnberg against Münster win?

An exciting duel is imminent: Next Saturday, the 1st FC Nürnberg will meet Prussia Münster in the 2nd Bundesliga. Both teams are in a tense situation, which is a great challenge, especially for the trainer Miroslav Klose. After two brief defeats against Hertha BSC and Hannover 96, the team found themselves in a critical situation.

Klose, who, as is well known, led the German national team to success as a world champion in 2014, is under pressure. "We want to show a different face," he emphasized before the upcoming game. The FCN is on 14th place after the 7th matchday, while Münster, as a climber, is currently ranked 15th. Klose sees the urgent need for a victory: "With the game you don't have to talk great about favorites roles. Our goal must be to win this game," he continued.

Klose appeals to the offensive

The previous achievements of the FCN did not bring the hoped -for swing that Klose wants. "We have a lot. But of course we know that there is unrest," admitted Klose openly. The coach motivated the team in the past training week to be more aggressive and braver. "The balls have to fly into the penalty area and we then want to have a lot of manpower in the box," said Klose, who tries to encourage his players to perform a powerful performance.

The talks within the team could be crucial for finally bringing the turn. The pressure is not only on the players, but also on the trainer himself, whose future may be at stake. In particular, the game against Münster is considered to be directional, but how serious this speculation is remains to be seen.

job guarantee for Klose - rest in the top of the club

gratifying messages are meant by sports director Joti Chatzialexiou. The latter has given the coach Klose a job guarantee and emphasizes: "There can be no question of an upcoming final for Miroslav Klose. Even if we should lose against Prussia Münster, Miro will remain our head coach." This makes Chatzialexiou a strong sign of trust, especially in such a critical phase of the season.

The club management in Nuremberg does not seem to be ready to make decisions hastily. Chatzialexiou has indicated that he wants to orientate himself on role models from other clubs, have kept patience and thereby achieved success. "To question a trainer from matchday on match day, that's not healthy and I don't do that either," said the sports director. This attitude could provide stability within the club and Klose could give the necessary backing to develop its concept.

The coming days will show whether Klose can bring about the turn and whether the players are able to meet the expectations. The encounter with Prussia Münster will be a real indicator for the future of the 1st FC Nürnberg this season.
