Kassel fights for relegation: test games full of excitement and surprises!

On February 3, 2025, KSV Hessen Kassel is preparing intensively for the residual round of the regional league. Trainer René Klingbeil has high goals, because the relegation is at the top of the agenda. The current table shows that Kassel, as the penultimate, has to catch up with the 13th place to keep the league. In this context, David Emmanuel, most recently a member of the "World Squad" of FC Bayern, could be added as a reinforcement, such as the Kicker reported.

The preparation not only takes place on the training ground, but also on the impressive cascades of the Kassel mountain park, which is recognized as a World Heritage Site with 540 levels and a height difference of 238 meters. Klingbeil uses this backdrop to optimally prepare the team for the upcoming challenges. The first test games were varied; While the team achieved a convincing 3-1 defeat against VfB Marburg, the duel against KSV Baunatal ended 2-2, with Kassel showing some good approaches in a fair and balanced game, so fupa.net .

injury and new additions

The misery is not spared Kassel. Defensive player Emanuel Mirchev will fail the rest of the season due to a cruciate ligament tear. Other players also have to struggle with health problems. Left -back Tobias Boche suffers from back pain, but will probably get back into training next week. In addition, left -wing Cornelius Bräunling has to deal with heel problems, which also contains the staff ceiling.

Despite these challenges, the newcomers are promising. Yannick Stark, 34, scored his first goal for Kassel against KSV Baunatal and brings experience from 218 second division games. Another newcomer, Jan Dahlke, who came from Wormatia Worms, can look back on his good performances in the Oberliga Rhineland-Palatinate, where he scored eight goals in 18 missions.

training focus and upcoming games

In the coming week, the focus of training will be put on processes and finishing touches. The team is also preparing for the next test games, which will take place on February 8, 2025 against the leaders TSV Havelse and on Sunday against Hünfelder SV. The quarter -finals against FV Breitenbach are waiting in the Hessen Cup on February 15th.

Kassel will resume the regional league again on February 22 when the first home game against FC Homburg is coming up. The pressure to collect points will gain weight while the team stands up to the mammoth task. In a last test game against KSV Baunatal, where coach Klingbeil had all players available except for the long -term injuries, the team was combative, despite the draw. Benjamin Hadzic had the chance of winning in the 75th minute, but awarded a penalty and only hit the post.

The coming weeks will be crucial and the support of the fans is of the greatest importance for the team. Kassel must be ready for the challenges that the residual round brings.
