Before the match between Rot-Weiss Essen and Hallescher FC, RWE boss Marcus Uhlig answered questions from “Magenta Sport”. He also spoke about promotion and a striker.
The fact that the match between Rot-Weiss Essen and Hallescher FC was kicked off despite the incessant rain was welcomed by those responsible in Essen.
“We already have a catch-up match against 1860 Munich. It would also be a loss from a financial point of view. Because the game is already organized,” said RWE coach Christoph Dabrowski on “Magenta Sport” before kick-off.
RWE boss Marcus Uhlig was also in favor of referee Martin Speckner’s green light. “It’s a bit of harbor street weather, harbor street soccer atmosphere. We’ve already had a lively exchange with the referee and he said it was okay. We had a similar game last season against Freiburg II, which we won 2-0. Maybe the weather is a good omen for RWE – I hope so.”
Rot-Weiss Essen could reach 33 points with a win and dream for Christmas – dream of the Bundesliga 2. Uhlig doesn’t want to forbid the fans from doing so either, even if he prefers to be understated: “We’re certainly looking back on a difficult 2023. We crossed the finish line in the summer and managed to stay in the league. In return, we performed well this season – both in terms of points scored and style of play. “
The fact is that we, like all teams, are keeping our eyes and ears open. We can’t say right now that we’ll do anything in the winter. We’ll see.

He added with a view to the table: “We have repeatedly emphasized how tight this league is. We won’t be resisting success in Essen. First of all, we collect all the points we can – like a squirrel. We don’t want to have anything to do with relegation and we’re on the right track. We’ll see what’s possible beyond that.”
And then, of course, there is the question of a possible new striker in the upcoming transfer window, which has been an obligatory one for weeks.
Uhlig: “The fact is that we, like all teams, are keeping our eyes and ears open. We can’t say right now that we’ll do anything in the winter. We’ll see. I don’t think this discussion is quite right either. I don’t want to say that we’re dissatisfied with our offense. We distributed the goals well.” After all, the table doesn’t lie – even without a prolific striker
