MATCH TOUR
“Borussia” D - “Schalke 04”. Interest in the Ruhr derby, classic for Germany, is now higher than the usual mark. Indeed, in this round the coronation of Schalke is possible. It will happen if the Blues win, the Stuttgart pursuing them will lose, but the Werder Bremen will not win. However, Borussia will do everything to disrupt the feast to its archenemy. After three victories in a row, former confidence returned to the Dortmund team. Recently, they were worried about a place in the elite, and now they are thinking about the Intertoto Cup. True, the yellow-blacks spoiled the neighbors from Gelsenkirchen with excessive hospitality. The last time Schalke was beaten in Dortmund in 1999. The continuation of the tradition will be more convenient for guests than ever.
UNEXPECTED INTrigue
Alemannia - Wolfsburg. In the table, these commands are adjacent. But - on both sides of the dangerous line. In Aachen, they will play more than three points. Actually at stake is a place in the sun. To such a life rivals brought the last setbacks. Their total catch in four rounds is a point. Alemannia with its six consecutive defeats is especially bad. The problems in the Aachen team are also evidenced by the removal from the main staff of Schlaudraff and the Duma, which happened last week. Michael Frontzeck motivated the expulsion of leading players by their lack of dedication.
DO NOT LOSE FROM THE VIEW
Rejecting the insistent invitations of Juventus, Torsten Frings chose to stay at home. The other day, a 30-year-old midfielder extended his contract with Werder Bremen until 2011. Having carefully weighed the pros and cons, Frings did not want to part with the club with which the best moments of his career are connected. By the way, in 2002, the German national team player was already leaving Bremen, but subsequently realized the fallacy of that decision and returned.
IMPORTANT WORDS
“Each applicant for the title has its own merits. “Werder Bremen” has a stable leadership and ability to cope with difficulties. Stuttgart has an excellent team spirit and solidarity. But I have long put on Schalke, whose trump card is an excellent selection of players. Especially good is the central axis of Neuer - Bordon - Lincoln - Kuranyi. And the memories of the 2001 championship lost in a dramatic fight add extra strength to the players, ”said Felix Magat , an expert on Arena.
BEAUTIFUL NUMBERS
The match in Dortmund will mark the anniversary of Mirko Slomki. He will hold the 50th match at the helm of Schalke in the Bundesliga. Will the team adequately congratulate the 39-year-old coach?
