Six points are almost mandatory this year

Rot-Weiss Essen have no game – but there are plenty of topics. We talk about the league, the remaining program and an extension for Dabrowski.

Rot-Weiss Essen had the weekend off, but we’re talking anyway: On “Vonne Hafenstraße”, presenter Kira Alex talks to the two RWE reporters Ralf Wilhelm and Justus Heinisch about the topics that concern the third division club.

Of course, the remaining program: Two games are still to come this calendar year. VfB Lübeck come to Essen this Friday and Hallesche FC the following Tuesday. Two wins are almost mandatory – both opponents are in the race to stay in the league. Of course, no opponent in the third division should be underestimated, but: “Rot-Weiss Essen shouldn’t make themselves look smaller than they are, this is a game they should win,” says Heinisch.

Berlinski or Vonic?

Lübeck have the second-worst defense in the league. The right opponent for Rot-Weiss? The poor defensive values are not meaningful, says Wilhelm, who would start Ron Berlinski up front in any case. Leonardo Vonic has not been a goal threat recently, the reporter emphasizes. It is time for a change in the red-white attack.

In the talk, the trio also discuss Christoph Dabrowski, whose contract expires at the end of this season. A YouTube user of our talk says that the coach should be extended quickly, as other clubs could also become aware of him. He has many arguments on his side: the team has improved immensely compared to the previous season. But in the end, it shouldn’t just be about the sporting side of things, but also about whether Dabrowski and Rot-Weiss Essen continue to have a shared vision, say the reporters.
