TSV Riedlingen meets FV Ravensburg: A game full of emotions
As part of the WFV Cup, two interesting teams face each other on Wednesday evening: TSV Riedlingen meets the top division FV Ravensburg. This is not only an important match for the teams involved, but also a real highlight for the domestic football community.
A spectacle for fans
The anticipation of the game is enormous in Riedlingen. Player coach Raphael Sontheimer describes it as the greatest game in the previous career of many of his kickers. This shows how important such encounters are for smaller clubs in order to be able to compete with stronger teams. "Having such an opponent in a competitive game is unique," explains Sontheimer and emphasizes the chance of presenting yourself with the spectators.
Setbacks and opportunities
While Riedlingen came into the third round with an impressive 5-2 win against SC Türkgücü Ulm, FV Ravensburg achieved a clear 6-1 win against Hohentengen. But Ravensburg not only has a tailwind, but also has to accept a bitter setback: Defense chief Jan Zwischenbrugger will be missing due to a serious facial injury, which he pulled at the league start. This could offer Riedlingen an opportunity to claim the defensive of the Ravensburger over a fee.
The role of community
Before the game, Sontheimer is optimistic that around 500 spectators will fill the stadium. This is an important sign of the cohesion of the community. "I hope that some teams are moving their training and visiting us," he continues, which illustrates the importance of such games for local football culture.
The history between Riedlingen and Ravensburg
In the Riedling team there are also players with a history of Ravensburg, which also heats up rivalry. Hannes Schmid and Finn Scheit played for Ravensburg in youth, which makes the upcoming duel all the more exciting. "This encounter has a special meaning for all of us," says Sontheimer.
The strategies for the game
Although Ravensburg is the favorite, Sontheimer announces that his team will not occur defensively. "We will not change our game and try to open the match openly," says the 29-year-old. This reflects the fighting spirit to show the smaller teams when they compete against stronger opponents.
Outlook
Martin Braun, coach of Ravensburg, goes into the game optimistically and plans some changes in the line-up. "We will give everything to win this encounter," he motivates his players. Such games show how important football is for those involved and the surrounding area and how they pull together to continue the success story of their teams.
