“De Vorfreude ist jeden Fall da”, said Alexander Blessin the Press conference for the 1. Spieltag against 1. FC Heidenheim (Sonntag, 5.30 PM, LIVE! at the kicker). “The Bundesliga start is a matter of course, that is the whole story.” Once it does, the tension is a bit nervous. “I am very excited about the night before the game – it is very interesting. I am very happy with it, so we are very interested in it and therefore we look at it in detail about the game”, so the 51-year anniversary, for the party as well Bundesliga Premiere as Trainer ist.

St. Pauli will use the Aufsteiger-Fluch Brechen

When the FC St. Pauli club started in the Bundesliga Neuland, it was so that Heidenheim was one of the best players, the growth of the Zweitliga-Jahre could begin – and with the Kiezkicker for all daheim good experiences. Schließlich cavity St. Pauli of the Vergangen eight Duellen with the Ostälblern am Millerntor fünf Siege bei three Remis.

Also a good sign for the host, if there is a first attempt to play in Jahren (Hannovers 1:0 in Mainz) in the German Oberhaus gewinnen. “We are the Rulebreaker. We will have the Fluch in the first Pokalrunde more or the few more beiseite geschoben and jetzt gilt’s, diesen Fluch thenn auch zu brechen”, states Blessin sober fest.

Blessin über Heidenheim: “Da muss man nur Chapeu sagen”

If the years after the publication of the Hanseaten have become a merit, part of the hint can serve as an example. “Not a piece goes on, sondern komplett”, so Blessin. “When you see what you have achieved from the Association, you only have to say Hat.” End the journey of the FCH in the Bundesliga-Year during the competition in the Conference League, while the Donnerstag is on the first Play-off game.

In the match against the cup, the FCH has made major changes. With a look at the re-match formula, it is a blessing but no mistakes are obvious. “We are not oracles, but we have an estimate of what we can play. What is the pride: You have your own silence and will not go any further.” Frank Schmidt’s Elf appears “with its compact” “in advance sales and in the press on a profit to generate.” It is a blessing with the team that has suffered “some losses” over time.

Saliakas vor Rückkehr in den Kader – auch Eggestein fit

For Schmidt and Blessin come during our stay in a Wiedersehen, both know themselves neither from Spieltagen: In the Saison 1999/2000 both perform in the 2. League on another – damals on the 1. Spieltag. The Heidenheimer plays a 4:1 match with Alemannia Aachen in Tivoli against Blessins Stuttgarter Kickers. “Ganz unangenehmer Spieler, ganz unangenehm”, so Blessin, der seinen Gegenüber zu schätzen weiß and with a Lächeln hinterherschob. “Aber ich weiß nicht, ob das auf Gegenseitigkeit beruht.”

Staff can bless over the Vollen-schöpfen. Neben Johannes Eggestein, the roads that keep an eye on a road in the musk track, have taken a break, but “completely to recovery” stead, should also right Manolis Saliakas, who previously passed a muskel injury almost completely, in the cadre back. By the Greeks there is a “large component” of the teams, which “is completed by the training” and “is intensive to survive”. For the historical scope of history it is not so that “the power is a nor a bisschen Zeit”.
