Kiel (dpa / lno) - Coach Ole Werner von Holstein Kiel expects a real challenge in the home game against FC Erzgebirge Aue.
“It's a duel on equal terms.
Aue has one of the most experienced teams in the 2nd Bundesliga, ”said the 32-year-old soccer teacher about the Erzgebirglers' guest appearance on Saturday (13.00 / Sky) in the Holstein Stadium.
Despite the 1: 2 defeat at SpVgg Greuther Fürth, Holstein Kiel is still promising in the promotion race behind the tied teams of Hamburger SV, Fürth and VfL Bochum (all 42 points).
Werner easily took the fact that guest coach Dirk Schuster announced that he wanted to trip up the next big one after leaders HSV (3: 3) and pursuers Bochum (1: 0).
“My coaching colleague must say that,” said Werner with a laugh.
Nevertheless, he has great respect for Aue.
“The team has played together for a long time and goes straight to work in the offensive switchover.
She is one of the best in the league », he praised the bottom of the table.
For the "storks" it is important to create their own chances without running into the open knife, "said Werner.
"But we've mostly managed to do that well in the previous games."
So it suits him very well that the best scorer (4 goals / 6 assists) will return to the team in Fin Bartels after serving a yellow card suspension.
On the other hand, Stefan Thesker is out for a few weeks after a partial torn Achilles tendon.
"It's a bitter loss for us," said Werner.
He left it open whether he would take striker Janni Serra into the squad after a hamstring tore in his calf.
