TuS Bövinghausen has made a strong start to the season in the Oberliga Westfalen and is top of the table. Nevertheless, Sebsastian Tyrala does not want to rush into anything.
TuS Bövinghausen is causing quite a stir as a promoted team in the Oberliga Westfalen. After nine match days, the team around ex-BVB professional Kevin Großkreutz has seven wins and two draws to its credit. Sebastian Tyrala’s team is two points ahead of Westfalia Rhynern at the top of the table. In the RevierSport interview, the coach explains why it is still far too early to think about a possible promotion and why he expects a very close game next week.
Sebastian Tyrala on…
..the recent 3:1 win over Delbrücker SC:
“We played a good first half and it’s 3-0 after 46 minutes. Then we just let it roll out again. Of course, as a coach you’re not satisfied, so you want to finish the game well somehow. It was a deserved victory, but it wasn’t the performance the coach wanted over 90 minutes. But you have to leave things in the village. I was a footballer myself. It’s normal when you’re leading 3-0 to play it down. “
..the strong start to the season:
“Of course we know what we can do and that we have a good team and have strengthened it well, but of course no one expected us to be at the top of the table after nine games and not to have lost a game. That makes it all the more dangerous to think that everything will work out by itself. I already said it after the second or third game. We have to work hard in every game. You notice in every game that you have to invest a lot. In the Westfalenliga, at some point you knew you were going to win today. That’s not the case in the Oberliga. The performance density is simply much, much tighter there. “
We want to go up there, but it’s still not a matter of course.

..own ambitions:
“I think we’re doing quite well by looking from game to game, because we’ve got a couple of hell of weeks coming up. But of course, we’ve built up a certain respect and expectation. We don’t want to give that away. We haven’t lost nine games now. Why not the tenth, eleventh, twelfth? What will come out of it in the end? We’ll take it all with us. Even with the squad and as a “not normal promoted team”, as everyone says, I’m not going to talk about us playing for promotion yet. We want to go up there, but it’s still not a given. “
..the upcoming match at FC Gütersloh, who recently conceded two defeats:
“I think we will meet a very, very angry Gütersloh team, who have let something slip twice now. Of course, they don’t want to lose the connection. The fact that we are undefeated and in first place suits Gütersloh just fine. They’ll say to themselves: We can beat the league leaders and then we’ll be right in the middle of things again instead of just being there. I’ve already had a look at them. They are one of the best, if not actually the best team in the league. So I expect an extremely hot dance. We’re looking forward to it. We’ve earned the right to go into a game like this with anticipation. That’s why it will be interesting. But I warn against saying that first plays ninth. That has nothing to do with this game. “
