Bielefeld (dpa) - Numerous fans received Arminia Bielefeld's team bus before the important relegation battle against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim near the stadium.
"We have a great chance to tear something for ourselves, for the club, for the city," said coach Frank Kramer before the game in the Bundesliga on TV channel Sky.
“When you drove up, you saw what that meant to everyone.
That of course spurs us on all the more », added the coach.
The Arminia apologized via Twitter to the fans, who had waited in vain for the team because the police had changed the route.
Before the 33rd match day, the newcomer is in relegation rank 16 with two points ahead of 1. FC Köln in penultimate place.
Nevertheless, Kramer is not worried about the nerves of his players.
"So far, the guys are making a great impression," he said.
“They have the tension you need, this tingling sensation, but also the looseness.
So far we've handled it well. "
The coach does not want to look at the results in the other stadiums on Saturday.
"We'll stay with us," he said.
"It is also important on the bench that you have the focus on your own game."
