Leipzig (dpa) – Without training, with seven starting eleven changes and incredible effectiveness, the 1. FC Heidenheim creates the first point win against RB Leipzig in general. «If you take everything into account in the past few weeks, we have been in a very nice negative series, then crowned with that in the Conference League. Then today it is definitely a point that we can look forward to. Maybe it’s a turning point who knows? We hope it, »said Marvin Pieringer after the 2-2 in Leipzig.
“Before the game, we said that we want to create a U-turn, pull things back on our side, with good games, with the highest effort and maybe a bit of luck that we need,” said the penalty scorer to 2: 0 ( 13th minute) after Mathias Honsak (6th) took the lead with the first offensive campaign in the game in front of 36,619 spectators.
No training, but fun
«Today everything just fit. I said earlier that the ball either goes over the stadium roof or hits in the corner, “said Honsak, adding:” I had already had such a situation in training several times and I am glad that it worked in the game today. ”
After the first point, coach Frank Schmidt saw himself confirmed in his tactics after five defeats. «Everyone knows what we had for two weeks. We have 120 minutes in our bones. To shake from the clothes and show what the team showed, deserves great respect, »said the coach, who only had it regenerated and wanted to bring the fun back in the Conference League.
Now he wants to add up in the relegation battle: “Now it is important to continue and knock everything out at home against Gladbach to get three points.”
