Köhler flies out! Braunschweig weakened against Hanover before the derby

Köhler flies out! Braunschweig weakened against Hanover before the derby

In a disappointing evening game, Eintracht Braunschweig had to accept a bitter defeat against SSV Ulm. After an encouraging 2-0 victory against Greuther Fürth, there was great hope that the team could build on this performance. Instead, the game ended 1: 3, and especially the loss of Sven Köhler, who saw the red card in the 50th minute, caused great annoyance among fans.

Köhler, which was considered a stabilizing factor for the defensive for weeks, first received a yellow card shortly before half -time and a little later the second for an unnecessary foul in midfield. This yellow-red card sent him to shower prematurely and left the Braunschweiger with only ten men. "This is just stupid and not to believe," said a frustrated fan on "X".

Köhler must watch in the derby against Hanover

The serious consequence of this dismissal is that Köhler cannot be on the field in the coming derby against Hannover 96 on October 6th. This is particularly painful because he had been in the starting eleven to date and was essential for playing in defensive midfield.

The fans agree that this failure could play a crucial role in one of the most important games of the season. The displeasure of the unnecessary punishment for Köhler is great, especially since the BTSV was already under pressure in the game against Ulm. The opponent was more gripper right from the start, and Braunschweig often did not find their way into play.

This defeat comes for the lions at an unfavorable time. After the desired first victory of the season, a sobering reality followed again. The nervousness and the lack of self -confidence were reflected in the way of playing, and the Braunschweiger often had to give up the direct duels. Only newcomer Sebastian Polter showed commitment and was a ray of hope for the team in the few offensive actions.

coach Daniel Schering had set three changes in half time to start a catch -up. But the red card for Köhler prevented this turn. However, more than the loss of the game weighs the absence of Köhler, who clouds the anticipation for the derby. It remains to be seen how the team will beat without him.
