Zum ersten Mal absolviert der 1. FC Heidenheim a game with international players. Trainer Schmidt sees this happening and is looking forward to a good start for the Rückspiel.

The first Auftritt on the European stage is for Coach Frank Schmidt of 1. FC Heidenheim “natural and subordinate”. However, the coach played for the Playoff Hinspiel in the Conference League in the Thursday night (7 p.m.) at BK Häcken in Sweden without emotional problems. “Ganz pragmatic: this game is a game that is for the qualification of the Liga-Phase wollen. Wollen here is very good, it is a very light, that we will repeat again”, he said.

Heidenheim auf Kunstrasen in Gothenburg vorbereitet

The Pokalsieger Sweden and Tabellen of Allsvens can find that the gloves are in the game, while the FCH was first a light party in the hat. For trainer Schmidt it is a difficult task, when he is set in the arena of the BK Häcken. “We play on artificial grass, and in the video studio one has wondered quite a bit: Why do every thing in the shop pop clean? Because the ball does not jump, because it plays regularly here, because it is set on artificial grass”, said the trainer of the FCH.

The team has appealed to the friends of SV Mergelstetten for the unwanted training of a training session at the kunstrasenplatz, with a message from Schmidt. The Abschluss training in the BK Häcken Stadium was found on artificial races. “Nevertheless, there are still other artistic breeds. That’s why we have to adapt quickly. There are still no bad conditions, but a bad set-up. Even if we don’t have them, we will be able to make quick changes because of these conditions,” said the Coach of the Heidenheimer.
