Schwarz-Weiß Alstaden said goodbye to the winter break with a 2:5 defeat against VfB Bottrop. In the end, the SWA coach had to acknowledge the high quality of the opponent.
Raphael Steinmetz, player-coach of Schwarz-Weiß Alstaden, emphasized before the duel against VfB Bottrop that only a win counts. Otherwise you won’t have a say in the promotion fight this season.
The result? 2:5 from Oberhausen’s point of view. “That’s it for us. Even before the game there was perhaps a 20 percent chance that we would get to the top again. Now we want to make sure that we are among the top five teams at the end of the season,” said Steinmetz the day after Defeat against VfB Bottrop.
The Lower Rhine Cup round of 16 led 2-1 at halftime. 120 spectators saw an open exchange of blows at the sports facility. “If we lead 5-1 or 6-1 at half-time, then the people of Bottrop can’t complain,” said Steinmetz.
Kudret Kanoglu did not want to leave this statement alone. “Oh, Steinmetz is exaggerating. We also had our chances. It could also be a 3-3 draw at the break,” said the VfB captain.
When you see who VfB has in its ranks, you just have to say that at the end of the day, money scores goals. Yusuf Allouche as a goal scorer in his prime football age, Kudret Kanoglu as a brilliant preparer and also the strong winger: that is already an announcement for the district league.

In the second round, the current leaders of the District League Group 5 on the Lower Rhine turned the game around. “The coach and I talked about a few things during the break and we implemented them well in the second half. We scored three or four standard goals. That’s also a quality. I’m happy that we got a win We were able to say goodbye at the break,” said Kanoglu, who is not entirely satisfied despite the twelve threes, two draws and only two defeats. Kanoglu: “With our quality, we can’t stay winless in four games. That’s too much. We have to make sure we still have a few points in the new year. That’s not supposed to sound arrogant, but the truth is that we’re simply great have a team together.”
Former professional Steinmetz could only agree with this: “When you see who VfB has in its ranks, then you simply have to say that at the end of the day, money is scoring goals. Yusuf Allouche as a goalscorer in his prime football age, Kudret Kanoglu as a brilliant preparer and also the strong wing pliers: that’s an announcement for the district league.”
