The home match against SC Paderborn : The 1. FC Union and the exchange game

For the Public, it is almost impossible, Urs Fischer's staff planning. The Swiss Trainer of the 1. FC Union weighs up his statements well, it is called For and against, and speaks more of the options as of certainties. This was also at the press conference before the home game against SC Paderborn at Stadion an der Alten forsterei on Saturday (13 p.m., live on Sky) otherwise.

Grischa Prömel, could train at the beginning of the week just dosed, as "a candidate for the starting lineup," as Sebastian Andersson after his return from the Swedish national team. Fischer smiled slyly as he spoke about his two players, and you can point to as a sign, finally, no one doubts their Starting line-up. The Central midfielder was missing in this season only five Times, either injured or banned. Andersson has missed since the beginning of February, not a single Minute.

the Status of The Indispensable also Ken Reichel had in a long time. For more than ten years, the native of neukölln played at Eintracht Braunschweig and was placed there. Third League, Second League, the Bundesliga, no matter Reichel was one of the great constants, and at the end of captain. Also in the case of Union of 32-Year-old is number one on the left-back position, quite as unchallenged as in lower Saxony, he is not in Köpenick. "For me, this is a new Situation that I must handle," says Reichel, with a view to the Rotation with his rival Christopher Lenz. "This is not easy, I have to say that quite clearly."

While he was in this season, in 20 of the 26 League games in the starting lineup, sat otherwise – without the injury or barrier, but also outside. "My performances were not so bad that I had to sit on the bench or in the stands," says Reichel. Satisfactory the was not, then, a fortiori, if it happens as in the beginning of the month two Times in a row. "But the coach has so decided, and I have to accept."

It speaks for a Union squad that even a seasoned professional like Reichel is not set necessarily. With Lenz, an eight-year-younger rival in the neck that makes a lot of pressure and him out of the starting line-up ousted the sitting him. "If you're two Times out, and then again to play, it is not easy to get into the rhythm," says Reichel. This applies of course also for Lenz.

"I must hide from any against players"

The chances that Reichel against Paderborn gets the preference, are very good. Against the offensively strong team of Steffen Baumgart Union Reichel's Routine can really use. "Paderborn is to the front of the fire hazard," says Reichel. "We must not leave rooms." Particularly, the Balance is crucial. His Team must avoid error, "this must not inhibit our own game," says Reichel.

This also applies to him personally. Compared to Brunswick's past, as he scored regular goals, missing in Union with the necessary luck. An Obsession the first goal of the season was not. Finally, Reichel considers its stormy past is quite realistic. "In Brunswick, I had a Phase when I would have the Ball from the halfway line volley take, and would probably be smashed in the top right of the kink," says Reichel.

1. FC Union Sebastian Polter makes further progress

These times seem to be over, his self-consciousness has preserved Reichel: "I know my qualities very well to assess and must hide from any opposing player in the Second League." The evidence he can compete on Saturday. Then a perfect buyer for his flanks, with Sebastian Polter in the middle maybe. The striker after his metatarsal injury great progress and could make the squad. Or to say it in the Fischer-German: "I'm open to the Option."
