For the national team, the third World Cup qualifier is due to be played within a short period of time this week. And then the Bundesliga will be played again. Before the sports court of the DFB it comes to racism allegations.
This week there are more games in the World Cup qualifiers. The DFB selection plays in Iceland. At the weekend, the Bundesliga continues with a top game that deserves its name. Before that, the DFB sports court has to solve a delicate case.
NATIONAL TEAM: With six points, the new national coach Hansi Flick made a strong start to his term of office. This Wednesday (8.45 p.m. / RTL) another three points are to be added in the World Cup qualification: The DFB selection will play against Iceland in Reykjavik. With the convincing 6-0 victory against Armenia in Stuttgart on Sunday evening, the national team took over the lead in Group J on the way to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Only the first-placed qualify directly for the Qatar finals.
BUNDESLIGA: Julian Nagelsmann (34) returns to the old place of work. Saturday (6.30 p.m.) he has to go to the ex-club RB Leipzig with Bayern. Leipzig’s new coach Jesse Marsch hopes for a sense of achievement – his team should take “the next big step” against Borussia Dortmund and Bayern, the US coach said at his introduction. After three opening defeats on Sunday, Hertha finally wants to celebrate the first three at the promoted team in Bochum. Union is already playing at home against Augsburg on Saturday.
SPORTS COURT: The DFB sports court wants to decide on the racism allegations against third division professional Dennis Erdmann from 1. FC Saarbrücken on Thursday (2 p.m.) in Frankfurt / Main. At the first hearing last week, the panel only ordered the 30-year-old to be banned until the verdict was pronounced. Erdmann is said to have racially insulted several opponents in the game between Saarlanders and 1. FC Magdeburg (2: 1). This accusation was confirmed by the FCM professionals Baris Atik, Sirloid Conteh, Leon Bell Bell and Amara Condé, who were invited as witnesses. Erdmann vigorously denied all allegations.
WOMEN’S NATIONAL TEAM: National coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg announced on Tuesday the line-up for the World Cup qualifiers on September 18 (4:05 p.m. / ARD) in Cottbus against Bulgaria and on September 21 (4:00 p.m. / ZDF) in Chemnitz against Serbia.
