With more offensive risk in the home game, the first threesome should now be stopped. On Saturday against Aue (13.30, live! At Kiel recently), however, this must be paired with indispensable defensive discipline. This is to worry (also) Marcel Benger.

A good appearance over the full distance - and that on the strategically important position in the defensive central midfield.
