It would have been too nice if we had been able to break in the three-way against the cops, but realistically we have to be satisfied with the point - against one of our fear opponents. It could have ended bitterly for us in the first half, but my old saying is: the goalkeeper is part of the game. And nice to see how our defenders made Timo Werner tired, so that he had to be replaced early with frustration.
The two injuries of Sinkgraven and Aranguiz hurt us. Especially with Sinkgraven, you had the feeling until his replacement that his left side does not burn. And Charles is a must in this team, nice to see how he prepared the interim lead with full force.
The hot weeks of the preliminary round start right after the international break. Away in Frankfurt and at Atletico. And then three home games in one week: Werder, Paderborn in the cup and then Gladbach. And the fourth home game in a row follows directly in the following week, when Atletico is a guest in the BayArena.
Especially the away game in Frankfurt is important. There we often looked good and a victory would bring the Frankfurters to a clear distance to us. But somehow every game is important in this table constellation.
