Rot-Weiss Essen has a game-free weekend – but there are plenty of topics to discuss. We talk about the league, the remaining program and an extension for Dabrowski.

Rot-Weiss Essen had a game-free weekend, but we’re still talking: on “Vonne Hafenstraße”, presenter Kira Alex talks to the two RWE reporters Ralf Wilhelm and Justus Heinisch about the topics that matter to the third division club.

Of course, the rest of the program: two games are still to come this calendar year. This Friday, VfB Lübeck is coming to Essen, and on the following Tuesday, Hallesche FC. Two victories are almost mandatory – both opponents are in the race for relegation. Of course, no opponent should be underestimated in the third division, but still: “Rot-Weiss Essen should not underestimate themselves, 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 Red-White? The poor defensive numbers are not meaningful, says Wilhelm, who would start Ron Berlinski in the offense in any case. Leonardo Vonic has not looked dangerous in front of goal recently, the reporter emphasizes. It’s time for a change in the Red-White offense.

In the talk, the trio also discuss Christoph Dabrowski, whose contract expires at the end of this season. A YouTube user of our talk show says that the contract should be quickly extended with the coach, because other clubs could also take notice 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 still have a shared vision, the reporters believe.
