A laughing third to promotion? “Would be the biggest laughing stock”

ETB SW Essen won the game in the Oberliga Niederrhein against KFC Uerdingen 6:4. Damian Apfeld wants to start a series, he did not mention the goal of promotion.

6:4 was the score at the end of the game for ETB SW Essen in the Oberliga Niederrhein, KFC Uerdingen was defeated in an intense match.

ETB coach Damian Apfeld was correspondingly satisfied with his team, which has now won two games again after three defeats and is picking up speed. After the game, the coach spoke about…

… the spectacle against Uerdingen: “A really great game! That was a spectacle. Against Hamborn we had to force the win, this time we set off fireworks. Nobody who was here will have regretted their visit. It was simply great fun. We were very disciplined and adapted our game to the pitch. We knew that this wasn’t a carpet.”

… the two wins after the losing streak: “I’ve always talked about this ‘heavy rucksack’. The boys wanted to, but couldn’t. That’s why I didn’t criticize them after the Hamborn game. We just want to enjoy the evening. “

.. his yellow card: “I cursed a lot after the 4:4 because it was an irregular goal. Almedin Gusic is pushed with both arms. I was terribly upset about that. The fact that the game ended like that was of course a spectacle. “

If I were to say now that we’re still aiming for promotion, that would be the biggest laughing stock.

.. the goals for the rest of the season: “We have four games left, we intend to get the maximum out of it. We want to start a series to celebrate a great end to the season. Before the season, we said we wanted to finish in the top five or six. Last year we finished fifth. We are talking about a development, we want to create euphoria. We want people to be excited for the kick-off on June 2 and for the new ETB team.”

… the promotion battle for the Regionalliga West: “We’ve kept the promotion battle between Uerdingen and Ratingen open. If I were to say now that we’re still aiming for promotion, that would be the biggest laughing stock. We just want to stir up euphoria at the Uhlenkrug.”

The next chance to do so will come on Sunday, May 12, when Essen host SC St. Tönis. Kick-off is at 3 p.m.
