Aue (AP) - First Hamburger SV, then VfL Bochum and next Holstein Kiel?

FC Erzgebirge Aue is developing into a favorite in the 2nd Bundesliga.

After the 3: 3 against HSV and the 1: 0 against Bochum, coach Dirk Schuster's team wants to surprise and score against the next top team in Kiel on Saturday (1 p.m. / Sky).

The Aue professionals can tackle the task at the Baltic Sea with 32 points on the account without pressure and also rested.

Because after the win against Bochum, coach Dirk Schuster was generous and allowed his team a little more free time.

«I am proud of the achievement.

My players earned it with a lot of effort, very high intensity, fighting power and passion and have two and a half days off for it, ”said Schuster after the success on Friday evening.

Captain Martin Männel and his teammates do not have to appear again for training in the Erzgebirgsstadion on Tuesday.

Until then, Schuster can already think about the match plan for the task in Kiel.

The head coach and his team of coaches had the right solutions at hand against Bochum.

Above all, the move with Louis Samson, who put the goal-scoring VfL director Robert Zulj under cover, worked perfectly.

“I should annoy him until he doesn't feel like it anymore.

I think that I managed to do that, ”said Samson on Sky TV.

“At some point he told me that I would probably follow him into the cabin.

You can't get better praise than midfield six. "

Between the 20th and 70th minute, the «Veilchen» dominated the game and scored the winning goal through Gaetan Bussmann (29th).

Then the Saxons missed further hits.

Samson explains that Aue was able to convince against the promotion candidates: “We are not a possession team.

That's why it's better for us to play against teams that have to score.

Everyone knows that we're a disgusting team, especially at home, when we play against the ball.

Nobody likes to come here. "

Now the Auer have to show in Kiel that they can also become the favorite scare away.

Captain Männel will play the game with the North Germans as the new record player for FC Erzgebirge.

The 32-year-old goalkeeper made his 419th competitive appearance for Aue against Bochum, replacing the previous record holder Holger Erler.

«I hope that there will be a few more games.

Still, I would like to see the day come when someone overtakes me, ”said Mannel in the MDR.

"That would mean that someone else supports and appreciates our club as much as I did."
