Karlsruhe (dpa / lsw) - Striker Philipp Hofmann is back in focus in the home game of the second division soccer club Karlsruher SC against SC Paderborn.
On the one hand, Baden's top scorer with four goals so far in the current season should contribute to the targeted third win in a row on Saturday (1 p.m. / Sky).
On the other hand, the attacker's contract should automatically be extended for another year until June 30, 2022 the next time he plays in the starting XI or for at least 45 minutes as a substitute.
The “Badische Neuesten Nachrichten” recently reported on this.
«This boy works incredibly for this team.
He always ties two or three opponents, ”said coach Christian Eichner, praising his most important offensive man on Thursday.
In the past few weeks, however, his team has “managed to get other players into the rooms that are available.
Having different goalscorers is extremely important for us to take this pressure off him », said Eichner, whose team recently improved to ninth place in the table.

Paderborn is a top team that the KSC will probably not be able to keep up with in the long term.
"But in an isolated game we don't just want to annoy the opponent, but try to push our game through and get the third win in a row," said Eichner.
