Bielefeld (dpa / lnw) – Arminia Bielefeld is already under a lot of pressure after the messed up start to the season in the 2nd Bundesliga in the DFB Cup. The new coach Uli Forte demands a “partial reaction” and “clear edge” from his team in the first round at fifth division club FV Engers on Sunday (3:31 p.m.). The Italian started the season with two defeats with Arminia.
“We have to use the game to show a partial reaction. I don’t think a player will take the game lightly. Success has to come, starting in the cup,” said the 48-year-old on Friday. Forte explained that he does not practice penalty shooting in training. “It has nothing to do with underestimating, but with showing a clear edge now.”
