FK Pirmasens: Hops of ascent after the bitter test game bankruptcy!

FK Pirmasens continues his preparations for the upcoming second half of the 2024/2025 football season with intensive test games. On February 8, 2025, the team played a trial game against FC Homburg, which was lost 2: 5. Previously, the FKP had reached a draw on February 7 (1: 1) against FSV Jägersburg, which showed positive approaches, but also underlined the need for improvements.

In the game against Homburg, the Pirmasensers initially scored two early goals through Dennis Krob in the 11th minute and Marc Ehrhart in the 20th minute. But FC Homburg was able to connect to Max Dombrowka in the 30th minute until half -time. After the half -time break, the defense series of the FKP collapsed, and Homburg scored four more goals in the second half. Pirmasens' goalkeeper Benjamin Reitz prevented a higher defeat.

Forthcoming Matches and Season Outlook

With a view to the upcoming challenges, another friendly against Rot-Weiß Walldorf is coming up on February 12th. This game is seen as an important comparison with a team from the Hessen League. Coach Daniel Paulus has already emphasized that there were considerable deficits to criticize against Homburg in the second half, especially on defensive solidarity.

The winter break ends for the FKP on March 1, 2025, when a catch-up game against FV Engers is on the program in the Framas Stadium. The return to league operations is eagerly awaited because the team has to work on their shape and fitness to remain competitive.

contract extensions and team stability

In the meantime, the club has extended several key players during the winter break. These include Captain Yannick Grieß and Benjamin Reitz. The potential contract extension of Manuel Grünnagel, which could go into his tenth season for the nudist, is particularly interesting. This is considered almost safe by many, which contributes to the stability and experience within the team.

The regular training sessions that will continue in the coming week should focus on liveliness and tactical processes. The next training day is scheduled for February 10, 2025, where the team will prepare for the upcoming challenges.
