HFC talent Lucas Ehrlich is planning a surprise in the DFB Cup against Augsburg!

Tension in the air! On Sunday at 6 p.m. Halleschen FC will face FC Augsburg in the DFB Cup, and that has its own stories. The spotlight is on 21-year-old striker Lucas Ehrlich, who was loaned to Halleschen FC from FC Augsburg for two years this summer. Ehrlich would like to pull off a surprise in the duel against his old team. “It is very important to me to prove myself,” says the young attacker, who took his first steps in professional football at FC Augsburg but has not yet had the opportunity to exchange ideas with the new coach Sandro Wagner.

As a loan signing, Ehrlich not only brings a breath of fresh air, but also a wide range of experience. Despite the move, he knows the FC Augsburg team well. “The boys are extremely well-rehearsed and have a high level of individual quality,” says Ehrlich, who was already able to show off his role as a joker in the last game against Zehlendorf in Halleschen FC’s uniform. Today he is full of anticipation for the encounter.

A new coach for FC Augsburg

FC Augsburg has a new coach on board this season, Sandro Wagner, who wants to bring a breath of fresh air into the team. Having a clear plan is at the top of the list. He is tackling the new challenge with a lot of enthusiasm, and Ehrlich will certainly want to pass on his impressions of the team to Wagner. But the focus for now is on the cup game, where the cards will be reshuffled.

What will it be like for Ehrlich to play against his former teammates? “It will definitely be a special feeling,” he says. At least he'll have the opportunity to catch up with his old teammates and maybe joke with them while they grit their teeth on the court. In the past, Hallesche FC has often challenged FC Augsburg, but this time they want to play the offensive particularly boldly.

Objectives for Halleschen FC

The game is of great importance for Halleschen FC. A success would not only boost morale, but also pave the way for further success in the tournament. The team has prepared well for the encounter and is relying on a combative demeanor. “We want to show the fans that we are capable of holding our own against a Bundesliga team,” said Ehrlich. These are big words, but perhaps also the fuel for an exciting match.

As anticipation for the game builds, it remains to be seen how everything will turn out. One thing is certain: Hallesche FC and Lucas Ehrlich are ready to take advantage of their chance!
