Holstein Kiel Travels Early: Fighting for League Survival

Holstein Kiel travels early to the away game against Karlsruher SC. The head coach Marcel Rapp explains the reasons for the early departure.

What are the reasons for the early departure?

The reasons are relatively simple, says Rapp. We have already had a few Saturday games where the journey was a bit longer and where the journey then dragged on and we sometimes sat in the bus for seven, eight hours.

What is the current situation of Holstein Kiel?

Holstein Kiel has been without a win for four games. The consequence: The Bundesliga relegation is as table 14 with 24 points only one point away from the relegation place.

What are the effects of the early departure on the game?

The early departure is intended to enable better preparation for the game. Rapp hopes that this will lead to a better result.
