Regensburg (dpa / lby) - The vacation for the football professionals of SSV Jahn Regensburg is over. Coach Mersad Selimbegovic started with the Jahn squad on Sunday in front of a few spectators in preparation for the sixth consecutive season in the 2nd Bundesliga. The goal was then formulated by Steve Breitkreuz. "We'll fight to stay up again," announced the defender.
Jahn will play numerous test matches before the start of the game in mid-July and complete a training camp in Bad Gögging from June 20th to 24th. "Preparation can be a good building block. That's where you lay the foundation for fitness," said Breitkreuz in the Jahn interview. The friendlies are also about results, but above all "about rhythm, about match practice".
In the past season, the Regensburgers laid the foundation for an outstanding first half of the season with a very successful preparation, in which the Upper Palatinate were leaders for weeks.
The squad has changed a lot in the summer: the newcomers include offensive player Oscar Schönfelder, who was loaned out by Bundesliga promoted SV Werder Bremen, returnee Maximilian Thalhammer, attacker Prince Osei Owusu, who was signed by Erzgebirge Aue, and Dejan Stojanovic, who was recently relegated FC Ingolstadt was in goal. "Fresh blood is good for you," Grosskreuz commented.
"We have to work on many adjustments," said the central defender about the intensive training work in the coming weeks. The fixture list for the 2nd Bundesliga will be published next Friday. Jahn reported attacker André Becker as another departure on Sunday. The 25-year-old moves to third division club Viktoria Köln.
