SC Lilienfeld: Soaring high after a difficult start – upwards with conviction!

SC Lilienfeld is currently experiencing an exciting time in the 2nd Regional League West. With an impressive run of four wins in a row, including a 3-0 win against league leaders Wieselburg and a thrilling 3-2 against Absdorf, the team has catapulted itself into the top regions of the table. But the most recent supplementary game against Amstetten brought a setback when they lost 2-1. Despite this defeat, coach Amir Ebrahim is optimistic about his team's development.

Ebrahim highlights the importance of the four wins and emphasizes that the opponents were of high quality. “That says a lot,” he explained. However, he remains cautious: "In this league, things go up quickly, but they also go down quickly. Everything is close together." That statement is a testament to his realism as the team continues to battle the pressures of playing two games a week. "I also see it as a privilege. You only have a rhythm like that in the European Cup," he added. This exciting but challenging situation makes the amateur game come alive, but also requires careful regeneration.

Strategy and adjustments in training

The management strategy in the training also shows how seriously Ebrahim takes the stress. On the Monday before the supplementary match, only light training was scheduled to keep the players fresh. In preparation for the upcoming home game against Großweikersdorf, efforts are being made to “dose the training sessions precisely” in order to prevent overloading. “The Lilienfeld permanent staff is fit, but we have to be careful, especially when it comes to alternatives,” he notes, emphasizing the importance of cleverness in a close competition.

In one of the last games, Ebrahim had to make an early substitution, which he sees as unnecessary tension for the team. Looking to the future, youngsters like Yassin Elnour and Drinor Kajtazi will receive important match practice that they can continue to use in the coming weeks. "Against Wieselburg we scored two goals where almost every player previously had contact with the ball. You rarely see that in amateur football," reflects Ebrahim proudly, referring to the high technical level that his team brings to the pitch.

Ebrahim has clearly seen this quality in the team in the last few games, especially in the first half against Absdorf, which seemed almost perfect to him. “You can hardly play better,” said the coach. With these positive results and a clear strategy in mind, it remains to be seen how SC Lilienfeld will fare over the remainder of the season.
