FC St. Pauli: Who defends against Hannover 96? Four-way battle for the 4 | Sports
If there is a fire in front of your own goal, the central defenders should extinguish it. At FC St. Pauli, coach Timo Schultz (44) had vorm Nuremberg game (3:2) Not much choice on the 4, as the position IS tactically called. “I was already looking for alternatives,” admitted Schultz after the final whistle. It looks completely different for the Hanover game on Saturday.
Four battle for the 4!
A quartet is possible for the 96 game. Schultz will probably defend with a back four again. So he only needs two professionals for the 4.
► Jakov Medic (23) was and remains set. His coordination problems with goalkeeper Dennis Smasch (23) and his template for the second Nuremberg goal do not change anything.
► The next man is wanted. Marcel Beifus (19) should have little chance. Although he has served his suspension from the Schalke game last season. But the competition is now great.
► Adam Dzwigala (26) defended against Nuremberg, who wobbled in the run-up to the season opener. Now his thigh problems are over. Nevertheless, he should vacate his place. Just like in overtime last weekend.
► Then came Betim Fazliji (23) as a joker. Schultz said afterwards: “I wouldn’t have had a problem putting him in from the start either. He could have done that too. But Adam knows the processes.”
Nevertheless, Fazliji, who is now practicing the processes in training, should be given preference. It is not without reason that sports director Andreas Bornemann (50) agreed a transfer fee of around 800,000 euros with St. Gallen (Switzerland).
