Krefeld The Krefeld Pinguine striker scored three of his five goals this season in the two away games against the Tigers. He doesn’t have a long time to be happy about it. On Thursday it’s up against the Panthers in Augsburg.

When the penguins’ bus made its way to Augsburg from Straubing shortly before 11 p.m., the atmosphere among the team was naturally good. After all, at the last minute, the Krefeld team snatched what they believed was a victory from the Tigers and deserved to take the extra point with them on the trip to the Fugger city. There they meet the Augsburg panthers on Thursday.

The win felt especially good for Robert Sabolic. The striker had contributed significantly to the success against Straubing with his 1-0 goal and the converted penalty. For the 33-year-old, it was only his fifth goal of the season. But he especially likes to score against the Tigers. In the first comparison this season in Straubing, which the Penguins lost 3-4, the attacker scored two goals. It is quite possible that the Slovenian is always particularly motivated against this opponent. That probably stems from his time in Ingolstadt, where he became German champion with the panthers there in the 2013/14 season and things are always hot in the games between Straubing and Ingolstadt on and next to the ice. Incidentally, the Krefeld veteran Daniel Pietta had to experience this last season after moving to Ingolstadt. Sean Acolatse, then Straubing, fought a violent verbal battle with Pietta.

Pinguine co-trainer Boris Blank drew a satisfied conclusion this time: “Both teams played well. We started properly and did our jobs well in the first third. The only problem was that we didn’t score. The two goals we conceded in the second period threw us a little off the mark. In the second break, we reminded our boys again that we had collapsed in the last third of the last two games and that we shouldn’t let that happen to us today. We told them: be patient and stick to the tactical concept. We always scored the goals at the right time. With the third goal, of course, you needed a bit of luck, as we had already taken the goalkeeper out. “

Blank also had special praise for his fourth series of storms, which regularly got Ice Age: “The series did a stable job. Edi Lewandowski supports the boys well and speaks to them a lot. ”Since all the players survived the game in Straubing without any injuries, there is actually no reason for coach Igor Zakharkin to change anything at the game in Augsburg. His assistant coach Boris Blank says: “We watch a few videos of the Panthers and also look back at our game in Straubing. We may not change anything. ”Augsburg is particularly dangerous in a storm. “It is no coincidence that you scored five goals in Bremerhaven. But we look to ourselves first and foremost. How we play is important. If we stick to our game plan and our tactics, we can beat any opponent. ”Blank doesn’t believe that it is an advantage for the penguins that no spectators are allowed into the stadium. “They are all professionals, it doesn’t matter now.” And it will always be like that in the coming weeks.
