VFC Anklam embarrassed themselves before the start of the cup: 0:4 against Gützkow!
After a frustrating dress rehearsal, VFC Anklam faces an important test in the next round of the MV State Cup. In the last test match before the start of the competitive game, coach Tom Fraus' team clearly lost 4-0 to SV Gützkow. In front of their home crowd, VFC Anklam revealed weaknesses that must definitely be overcome in the upcoming encounter. Although the game was a tough one, Fraus pointed out that they knew what they did wrong and wanted to correct it in time. Details about the test match were found in a report by Nordkurier, which summarized the most important scenes after the defeat.
In the first half, Gützkow was able to take the lead in the 24th minute with a goal from Ben Louis Sprycha. After halftime, the guests continued to turn things up and scored three more goals in the second half from Nick Wandersee, Lukas Dumrese and Felix Sommer. Despite several chances, Anklam missed the opportunity to hit the net himself. However, coach Fraus was confident and announced that there would be no experiments in the upcoming cup game against Penzliner SV, which will be played on Saturday at 3 p.m. in the Werner-Seelenbinder Stadium.
Preparation for the cup
While the test match results were mixed - a 1:3 against Köpenicker FC and a 2:1 against Pasewalker FV - the team prepared intensively for the cup round. The squad has only consisted of 18 players in recent weeks due to vacation time and injuries, which has made the intensity of training routine at times. Coach John-Philipp Bruhns, who emphasizes the importance of the upcoming game, is convinced that his players have accepted the training intensity well.
The SVG kickers from Gützkow, who are considered to be promoted to the national league, have recently achieved mixed results. They achieved an impressive 4-1 win against Eintracht Zinnowitz, but were beaten 4-1 by FSV Blau-Weiß Greifswald. Gützkow has proven to be a strong opponent, which VFC Anklam should not take lightly.
outlook
For the upcoming game, the Anklamer eleven line-up against Penzliner SV will have to be properly upgraded if they want to avoid a disappointment like the one against Gützkow. But the accusers are determined to gain a foothold with a clear strategy. Despite the departure of some leading players, the team is being rejuvenated with new talent from the A youth team, which could bring a breath of fresh air to the team in the coming weeks.
When asked how the team will deal with the challenges of the new season, Fraus explained that a clear plan must be followed in order to develop further in football terms. In addition to the state cup, the team's prioritized goals also play a central role in the state league. According to kicker.de, the cup competition is being followed with great enthusiasm and the Anklam team want to be at the top.
Let's go, VFC Anklam! Now it's time to put everything into the next game and take the momentum from the intensive preparation into the game!
