FCK breaks without a win: Can the team go out with mentality?

Betzenberg, Deutschland - The winlos series of 1. FC Kaiserslautern is finally over! With a convincing 3-0 victory over SC Paderborn, the red devils found on course. Ragnar Ache took care of the lead early on, but the team had to survive a few critical moments in the second half before Luca Sirch and Marlon Ritter could secure the deserved victory in the final phase. "We played passionately and with a lot of mentality," summed up coach Markus at the beginning after the game, even though he demands that even more footballing quality have to be shown.

But the challenge is already waiting: The Palatinate will compete against the leaders Fortuna Düsseldorf next weekend and three days later it will be in the DFB Cup against VfB Stuttgart. "We need the same mentality and the will as against Paderborn," emphasized goalkeeper Julian Krahl. The pressure is great, but the team is ready to take the next steps. www.swr.de.
