“We all know that the game in Mainz wasn’t good – but, we have spoken clearly about things and worked through them,” said Maaßen. Last matchday, FCA succumbed to a 3-1 defeat in Mainz, with the team’s own errors bringing about their defeat. Now, FCA are back in front of their home crowd again, where they recently have been able to achieve two 1-0 wins in a row against Leverkusen and Gladbach.

FCA head coach Enrico Maaßen made one change to the team which started the 3-1 defeat away in Mainz last weekend, as Kelvin Yeboah replaced Dion Beljo up front – it was Yeboah’s first start for the club, following five substitute appearances. Iago and Ruben Vargas also returned to the squad following their injuries, replacing the ill Niklas Dorsch, and Mads Pedersen, who had a knock.

Jeffrey Gouweleeuw: “This win has really given us some self-confidence! We simply earned the three points today and it’s a fantastic feeling to have kept another clean sheet. We had a bit of bad luck in the first half with the disallowed goal, but for me, our goal in the second half has to count. As a defender, you get into duels like that all the time in games; it’s just not a foul. What counts at the end of the day is that we have earned the win in a six-pointer against one of our direct opponents.”

“Sergio Córdova made it clear early on that he would like to continue playing in the MLS. After we were able to add quality on the attacking side in the winter, we wanted to give him his chance in Vancouver, especially since the financial conditions of the transfer also suit us. We wish Sergio Córdova every success for the future in the MLS and all the best personally,” said Stefan Reuter, managing director of sport at FCA.

“Above all, we need to have our heads screwed on, everyone needs to know their job and they need to execute it to perfection,” explained Eric Maaßen in Monday’s presser ahead of Wednesday’s clash with FC Union. Even though the hosts suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat at the hands of Bayern Leverkusen last time out and lost their spot at the top of the table, the gaffer is fully aware of the tough test that awaits his side: “They have lots of quality and they aren’t near the top for nothing. We need to be clinical and we need to keep our mistakes to a minimum,” said Maaßen.

“We’ve got a lot of young players with potential in our squad and we wanted to get an experienced man in our midfield, especially now Niklas Dorsch is ruled out injured for a long time. Julian will help our team both on and off the pitch with his sporting quality, his mentality, his character and his experience,” said Stefan Reuter, FCA sporting director.
