Praise for the fight, but Llambi wonders what strikers are paid for

MSV Duisburg continue to slide towards the regional league. Celebrity fan Joachim Llambi is especially concerned with the harmless offense.

MSV Duisburg also lost their home match in the 3rd division against leaders Jahn Regensburg – the final score was 0:1, although the Zebras, who had to replace numerous injured players, could hardly be blamed.

And Joachim Llambi too. Juror of the RTL show Let’s Dance and ardent fan of MSV, had little to criticize this time. And this despite the fact that he is known for not mincing his words when it comes to the Meiderichern.

He usually announces his view of things on Instagram after matches. This time too. He began by praising the attitude of coach Boris Schommers’ team: “One of the best games the Zebras have played in recent weeks! They put up a fight and there were also some playful elements, especially in the second half. Müller was faultless in goal today, the defense was stable, unfortunately there was too much space in the defensive midfield for Regensburg in the first half. “

While the defensive unit seemed to have done its homework, Llambi had nothing good to say about the offense. His opinion: “What I ask myself is, what are our strikers paid for? I once learned to score goals and make shots on goal. Ginzcek, Esswein, Girth and Köpke together probably cost 80-100,000 euros a month. That’s around 1 million euros a year. I think you could have got one or two top strikers for that. Mannheim snapped up Boyd – who has already scored 3 goals in 2 games – certainly not for 1 million a year. Of course there are other strikers for that kind of money. I don’t understand Schommer’s point about giving young players more chances. They can’t score less than zero goals either. “

While the coach at least used U19 goalscorer Kaan İnanoğlu, who scored nine goals in ten matches in the U19 Bundesliga. Perhaps he will get more game time in the coming matches, as MSV continue their campaign next weekend against SC Verl. Llambi looks ahead: “Next Saturday at 14:00 in Verl we have to score again. There are only 14 matchdays left. Have a good week everyone and hope dies last. Only MSV.”

Whereby the gap to the first non-relegation place, which is occupied by Hallescher FC, is already eight points
