North Rhine-Westphalia: "Only points help us": Bielefeld coach demands top performance

Bielefeld (dpa / lnw) - Coach Daniel Scherning from the second division soccer team Arminia Bielefeld appealed to the ambition of his professionals before the away game at SC Paderborn on Tuesday (6.30 p.m.). "We need an individual top performance from every player who starts, and we need the energy from the bank. We have to do our best as a team, then we can get something," said the 39-year-old coach on Monday and referred the East Westphalia duel on the precarious sporting situation.

Bielefeld suffered their fifth defeat in six league games in the most recent 3-2 home defeat against 1. FC Kaiserslautern and is four points behind the penultimate team at the bottom of the table. It is therefore important to mobilize all forces before the World Cup break. "In our current situation, only points help us. We can still get six points in two games before the break, that's what we're focusing on," said Scherning, who was born in Paderborn and was Steffen Baumgart's assistant coach at SCP between 2016 and 2021 involved two ascents. When he returns to his old place of work, he will have to do without Oliver Hüsing, Bryan Lasme is missing due to a yellow-red card.
