Training camp in Austria – Satisfied conclusion after XXL test: ‘This is really good’

Coach Miroslav Klose was pleased with the final test of his 1. FC Nürnberg in the training camp in Austria. “We were able to implement a lot of what we discussed beforehand. That’s really good. You can see that the focus is high during training and video analysis. And if they continue to perform like they did today, we’ll be very happy,” the 2014 World Cup winner explained after the 4-2 defeat to Blackburn Rovers, a club from the English Football League Championship.

After an intensive training week in the training camp In Walchsee, Tyrol, the Franks showed themselves effective over four periods of 30 minutes. For the second Danish team, Danilo Soares (2nd minute), Lukas Schleimer (28th), Dustin Forkel (73rd) and Stefanos Tzimas (93rd) were successful. The English managed to reduce the lead via Dominic Hyam (34th) and John Buckley (118th).

“We completely turned everything around at half-time, brought in the young players and they continued to play well – that’s just great to see,” said Close“We had to find solutions in our style of play to deal with the difficult game of the opponent. And the best solution was to stay calm and score the second goal. That’s what I want to see from the team.”

This team will look different for the start of the second division on August 3 against Karlsruher SC. As agreed, new defense chief Robin Knoche, who last played for Union Berlin and only joined his teammates from Nürnberger on Friday, was also absent. Kanji Okunuki and Finn Jeltsch were also absent. Benjamin Goller will have to wait longer due to a broken collarbone. In addition, FCN still wants to make transfers.

For a Czech newcomer, the success in the Rovers test was a strong signal. “We feel good. We trained a number of things this week and we implemented them well today,” said midfielder Michal Sevcik. “It was a very tough game with a lot of direct two-on-one duels and a high tempo. The result gives us confidence for the last two weeks of preparation.”
