Modestin Joker character: “He’s not fit. He’s fit, but he’s not fit. That too is one of my principles: Trainers are on the field and fewer coaches come. Just because he’s there does not mean he’s fit. Everyone knows it’s enough for 60 minutes, but you can not go full swing. Tony showed up to be there when he arrived. It could have been easier for Tony, it’s a team game.We know Tony’s characteristics and if all goes well he will be back from the beginning of next week.
Current table status: “I feel like part of this city, we’re not allowed to talk about things. We’ve got 35 points and got them in good football. However, we already have teams of different quality ahead of us. We won against teams below us. Who will come our way in March? We did not do it against the above only when we see it.We are happy with the points.

Today you are the king. You are not tomorrow. Life is so beautiful. Do not give up, it’s different than last year.I have to score and do my job.The coach knows me now.When I arrived he said I already knew what to do.I finally won 1-0 and got three points.We celebrated before the festival. , Must first win against Furt.
… His goal: “As a striker, you can see when the goalkeeper opens his legs. But you always need luck with that. I was a little surprised, but we already saw in the video analysis that the central defenders do not always stand in line, so I was sure I was not offside.

FC Interim Sports Director Jork Jacobs: “Before the game I thought: This game is a benchmark. This game speaks for the growth of the team.
