Classic fight on Saturday: Braunschweig needs a win against Bochum!

Eintracht Braunschweig is under pressure and urgently needs points. On November 9th at 1:30 p.m. we face VfL Bochum, and the team absolutely has to win in order not to slip into the relegation places. In this critical phase of the game, Gerrit Holtmann, who is considered a top performer at VfL Bochum and previously played for Eintracht Braunschweig for two years, particularly stands out. Holtmann looks back on his time in Braunschweig and talks about the emotional connection he has to his former club. “Braunschweig was my first love,” said Holtmann, who also emphasized that he would refrain from celebrating excessively if he scored a goal against the blue-yellow team. The state of his former team annoys him, but he feels close to the players.

The situation at Eintracht Braunschweig is anything but rosy. Holtmann emphasizes that the recent successes are good for the team, but the situation remains precarious. Despite a difficult start to the season and a major upheaval in the summer, Uwe Rösler, the new head coach of VfL Bochum, is striving to integrate and motivate the team well. Eintracht Braunschweig can currently look forward to the return of players loaned to the club in the winter and a breath of fresh air with the addition of goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen during the winter break, which makes the phase before the important duel with Bochum even more exciting.
