SV Wilhelmshaven against Heidmühler FC: Test match to prepare for the DFB Cup!

An exciting clash will take place in the Jade Stadium: SV Wilhelmshaven will face Heidmühler FC on Tuesday at 7 p.m. This is the fourth friendly in preparation for the coming season and both teams have a lot to show. While SV Wilhelmshaven is clearly the bigger league team in the top league, Heidmühler FC is in eleventh place in the district league and has its first encounter in this test phase.

Both teams have their own challenges to overcome: SV Wilhelmshaven will have to do without Ervin Catic due to muscular problems, while Feras Allamushi will be unable to take part in training at short notice. Coach David Jahdadic nevertheless emphasized that the health of his players is prioritized over sporting results, which also underlines the club's philosophy.

Intensive preparation

This Monday the team took a break from training before focusing on intensity and fitness again on Tuesday. Stair runs were completed in the Jade Stadium to improve fitness. As part of this intensive week of preparation, sports director Florian Schmidt is also setting the bar high: he wants to qualify for the DFB Cup with SV Wilhelmshaven. To do this, it is important to get in good shape in training and in games.

A new addition to the team is Mohammed Sultani. The 21-year-old player has recently signed a contract and previously played at VfL Oldenburg, where he played 14 regional league and 27 league games. Such commitments are intended to increase the quality of the squad.

Heidmühler FC in focus

The test match against the larger club is particularly important for Heidmühler FC. Coach Daniel Oleksyn doesn't focus on the result anyway, but rather focuses on improving his team's systems and tactics. Creative units such as Thai Bo and yoga are also integrated into the preparation phase in order to offer the players a holistic training.

The team is fifth in the table in the last district league season and will also play against other opponents in the coming weeks - including Leher TS on July 12th and VfL Oldenburg on July 16th. The challenge of developing playfully and tactically in these test matches is seen as an essential part of the preparation, as are the numerous insights that can be gained from such games. If you look at the general philosophy, test matches are a valuable opportunity to improve team dynamics and sharpen your understanding of the game.

At a time when it is important for both clubs to keep the rhythm and systematically refine their playing practice, it remains to be seen what insights can be gained from this exciting duel. In any case, this encounter offers the chance to show what the preparation work has achieved so far. As is well known, the settlement takes place at the end, but the training work and the upcoming test matches will have a decisive influence on the way there. For SV Wilhelmshaven and Heidmühler FC it is clear: there's something going on!
