“We’re on target in terms of points and if we put that in the context of our sometimes very tense personal situation, then we can live more than just well with ten points from six games,” coach Simon Goldhammer said with relief on Friday.
Above all, the way he performed convinced him because he recognized a lot of what he had worked on with the team over the course of the week and since the start of training in June. For example, the repeatedly emphasized defensive stability. If you take the slip from the game in Fürth (1: 4) out, Viktoria only conceded two goals in the other five games and played three times to zero. Only three teams in the top group are better off.
He set up four tall defenders who promptly dominated their own penalty area with their powerful headers. Before that, Roberto Desch was an enormously strong defensive midfielder and Benjamin Baier was a very experienced defensive midfielder. Goldhammer had taken on the veteran in particular once again. “He must be our leader.”
Background: Tim Kraus signs in Würzburg
Tim Kraus, who comes from Unterafferbach, has signed a contract with the Würzburger Kickers. The red trousers reported this at the weekend. Most recently, the 23-year-old defensive midfielder, who once started playing football at FCU in the Goldbach district and then switched to Viktoria, played for Lower Franconian league rivals 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 and scored eight goals in 64 appearances. Kraus is now hired after a trial training session lasting several days in Würzburg and is supposed to help Viktoria’s upcoming opponent to achieve the high goals in the Bavarian regional league.

For the left-back Arda Nadaroglu, who had been convincing until now, the coach found a place on the left-hand side of the attack, where he promptly forced the free-kick in front of the lead. “He’s actually an offensive player and can create gaps with his great speed.” That’s necessary, because the Aschaffenburg team are still lacking up front. Six goals in six games are expandable. Because he knows about the problems, Goldhammer allows more standard situations to be practiced. Quite successfully, because half of Viktoria’s goals result from two goals after free kicks and one after a corner. “So it’s paying off.”
In Würzburg, Goldhammer can hope that at least the personnel alternatives will be a little larger. He was able to replace Alexandru Paraschiv and Silas Zehnder against Türkgücü, maybe even Florian Pieper could get a place on the bench. Because the Würzburgers are still undefeated, but after the performances that have not been fully convincing so far, there is a bit of unrest. Expectations are high at Dallenberg.

Some of the veterans in particular are not in top form and the Kickers have problems, especially in attack. 103 goals in the last season have spoiled. The brunt is currently on the fast Benjika Cacie, who is almost impossible to stop on the wings. The Würzburgers have also added to this and signed Pascal Moll a week ago. He scored 14 goals for FC Schweinfurt 05 last season. Nevertheless, the coach urges patience. “We still have a lot of opportunities to play better games.” That worked to some extent in the 1-0 win in Ansbach at the weekend, but the Kickers missed a number of good chances.
The Viktoria, who broke a negative series against Türkgücü, can work on the next uninspiring statistics on Tuesday. She was only able to win one of ten games against the Rothosen – and that was almost ten years ago. At that time there was a 2-0 at Dallenberg. In any case, Goldhammer is not discouraged. “If we all give 100 percent, then we don’t have a chance in Würzburg.”
