And it goes on at the pace …
Prussia’s appointment hunt! Hildmann relies on cup rotation.
Just three days after the all-important league win against Düsseldorf II (2-0), Münster’s regional league kickers are already challenged again on Tuesday evening. League rival Lippstadt is about making it to the quarter-finals of the association cup (6 p.m. / Liebelt Arena).

A game with explosives potential!
The fact is: The Prussians have reconnected to the top of the table in the championship with the “three” against the “little Fortuna”. But an end in Lippstadt – so Pott defender at that – could quickly change the mood in Münster.
Sascha Hildmann (49) also knows. But the head coach is in a bind. On the one hand, his team is under constant stress and has had to run an average of every four days since the start of preparations in early July. And therefore urgently needs a breather.

Hildmann praises: “A really interesting guy who is in training made a good impression and deserved a job. ” Young talent Deniz Bindemann (18) should also be the first choice for Lippstadt.

While Hildmann wants to hold on to a three-way chain with Jannik Borgmann (23), Marcel Hoffmeier (22) and Robin Ziegele (24) in defense, Joshua Holtby (24) returns to midfield. Together with Dominik Klann (22), who appears again as a “six” and replacement for the injured defensive veteran Dennis Daube (32 / cruciate ligament tear). Münster’s coach assures: “We have full confidence in every single player in our squad and want to get up do not give up the next round. Instead, we continue our way to the final with concentration. “
After all, success is still the best and only means of achieving the desired goals. In championship and cup …
