Will the FCA become a master maker for Bayern? This is what trainer Thorup says about the prospect of free beer

FC Augsburg could become a master maker on the coming matchday in the Bundesliga: scores the team of coach Thorup in Leverkusen and win Bayern their home game against Mainz, the Munich -based company is the new German champion three games before the end. For FC Augsburg, however, it is about getting as many points as possible in the last games of the season. The relegation is already clear, but the dream of Europe is at least behind the scenes in Augsburg. That said FCA trainer Jess Thorup …

… for the game against Leverkusen:

« We have to bring confidence from the last games. Against Frankfurt we showed that we can play along. We have to implement that in Leverkusen. »

… to the staff:

«  »Noahkai Banks is injured. He has a muscle injury and fails for about 14 days. Mergim Berisha was not on the pitch yesterday. We decided that he still stays with the rehabilitation trainer and that he can train with the team again tomorrow. ”

… Important, the return of Florian Wirtz is at Leverkusen:

« He is one of the best players in the league at one of the best teams in the league. He has the X factor, his return is extremely important for his team. He can decide the game, it is a huge difference whether he plays or not. But there are eleven players from every team on the pitch. »

… in addition that many FCA players focus on:

« It is a closed team that set new records. We have four points more than last season, but we are still in the lower half of the league. Everyone talks about Finn Dahmen, but we defend as a team. We are happy when everyone comes praise. »

... at possible FCA target Europe:

« For me, it is about approaching as ambitious as possible and getting as many points as possible. Everyone can say that our goal must be called Europe, but we are in the lower half of the league and have to overtake many teams. Our goal is to get as many points as possible. Of course we want to attack and stand as high as possible in the table. But my goal is to win in Leverkusen.  »

… what a victory in Leverkusen is needed:

« We played well against Bavaria and Frankfurt. If we didn’t get the red card against Bayern, there would have been more in it. It is about little things in which you are focused and keep staying.

…In addition to the fact that the FCA can be the master maker for Bayern:

« No, this is not an incentive. I am only concerned with the points for the FCA. I don’t care about something else. »

… in addition to whether the view of Bayern’s freelancer could change that:

« If Bayern should send beer after the game, we take the beer on the bus. We are happy to take that. But that’s why I don’t care. »

… to the many FCA players who threaten a yellow lock (Claude-Maurice, Essende, Gouweleeuw, Matsima, Tietz):

« The players know that. We spoke to it. But I’m not a coach who looks too far into the future. Every player has to go into the game with 100 percent, otherwise it makes no sense. But the situation has been so for weeks, we have had several endangered players for a long time. »

… to Fredrik Jensen, whose transfer to the United States broke up:

« This is ticked off for me. I had a good conversation with Freddi, he is with his head in Augsburg. He played very often from the start. When he was substituted against Frankfurt, it wasn’t his best performance. I also asked myself as a coach: Was that too early? »

… to Mert Kömür:

« Mert played very well for 60 minutes against Frankfurt. You can see that he can help the team a lot with the ball. »

… to violate Mergim Berisha:

« He felt something in the game against Frankfurt when he kept his legs up. It is hopefully nothing special. But he is on the way back from an injury, so we don’t take a big risk. He worked with the rehabilitation trainer, and I hope that he was back tomorrow. He had his chances last and after his injury again. Tietz in Bochum prepared the gate well.  »

… to the remaining program:

« There are four games in which we want to score twelve possible points. There are two heavy away games in Stuttgart and Leverkusen. We want to get as many points as possible. To do this, we have to continue to play with our strengths and improve. On the other hand, we also want to take steps forward in the offensive. »
