a special duel for Bastian Strietzel

for Bastian Strietzel, the central defender of the Greifswalder FC, the game against his former club, Carl Zeiss Jena, becomes an emotional event. He describes the encounter as a "different and special game" and feels both nervousness and anticipation. Despite his personal connection to Jena, he emphasizes: "In the end, there is no friendship on the square." Strietzel, who had previously been active in Jena for three years and was wearing the captain's armband there, is determined to lead his team to victory.

The role of Erik Weinhauer and the suppression of the competition

The challenge is reinforced by striker Erik Weinhauer, who is currently the top scorer of the league and has already scored seven goals in the first two games. After a historical five -pack in the game against Hertha 03, he is a serious threat to defend the Greifswalder. Despite this impressive performance, Strietzel has not lost in the past against Weinhauer and would like to continue this series.

sporting changes and the new way

Strietzel moved from Jena to Greifswald, motivated by the desire to develop in sports. "It was a fundamental decision to leave the oasis of wellbeing," says the 26-year-old. This decision is not based on financial considerations, but on the potential for personal growth and sporting challenges. After a bumpy start of the season with a defeat and a victory, the team looks optimistically into the future.

The expectations for the upcoming game

The Greifswald struts a place in the table this season. Strietzel admits that the team still has improvement potential to meet the high expectations. "We are in the process of acquiring the necessary game fitness," he explains. The home game against Jena is seen as an opportunity to prove itself, because "we certainly don't need to hide at home".

historical encounters and the anticipation for the match

In the first leg of the previous season, the Greifswalds were able to win 3-0 against Jena. This positive experience could give the team confidence. The upcoming duel is not only a competition for points, but also a way to demonstrate the dominance over a former rival and to consolidate the place as a serious competitor.

The game therefore raises important questions for both players and fans: will the Greifswald be able to continue the positive trend? Can Strietzel Weinhauer stop again? The answers will be given on the pitch on the coming matchday.
