The frustration over the last-minute defeat at the Solingen Paladins was still deep when the second division footballers of the Lübeck Cougars arrived back in the Hanseatic city early on Sunday morning.
But the mountain lions don’t have much time to digest the bitter 24:25, because on Sunday (June 27, 3 p.m.) the first home game of the 2021 season against the Essen Cardinals is on the program at the Buniamshof. And for the mountain lions it is a matter of clinching their first victory in the third game in order to prevent a complete false start.
The Lübeck footballer’s running game doesn’t get rolling
The biggest construction site is probably the running game of the Cougars Offense, which has just not gotten rolling so far. It was only 49 yards of space gained at the start against Rostock, 68 in Solingen – too little to put opposing defensive lines in distress. Head coach Mark Holtze’s team has to rely primarily on the passing game, which makes it easier to calculate.
On the other hand, the people of Lübeck can rely on their fans. 700 spectators can attend the home premiere against the Cardinals in 2021 – free of charge. Because the Cougars use their home premiere to get involved Free cards to thank fans and supporters for their loyalty in difficult Corona times,
700 free tickets for the Cougars game gone in one hour
And they found huge sales. “All tickets were gone within an hour,” explains Frank Mendritzki, Cougars’ head of marketing. “That proves that there is huge interest in football in Lübeck. Now we’re looking forward to giving people back a piece of normality by visiting the stadium and want to offer them a few great hours of sport and shows. ”
