The association cup game against Erkenschwick (4-0) was less than 120 seconds old when Yassine Bouchama (26) had already kissed the soapy turf twice, hard and roughly. Each time they were rudely cleared away by their opponents…
After Freiburg foul. Prussia’s Bouchama as an attractive figure.
It almost seemed like a system that Münster’s midfielder was tackled and pressed particularly closely and disgustingly. By the half-time break he had to take a beating and be treated a total of six times. Of all things, the last foul, a high foot from Dzenan Pilica (25) to the larynx and chest, was rather unintentional. But it deservedly resulted in a sending off for Erkenschwicker (43′).
Target Bouchama. After he had caught the eye of his guard Gabriel Pellegrino (19) a week earlier in the 2-2 Freiburg draw with a nasty double kick on the ankle and knee – which he said was unintentional – (BILD reported), the upper division team had apparently deliberately targeted him . And identified as an easily irritable player.
Referee Leonidas Exuzidis gave Yassine Bouchama (l.) a yellow card after his foul on Freiburg’s Gabriel Pellegrino (on the ground).
SpVgg coach Magnus Niemöller (50) later confirmed that he had closely followed the Prussians’ last league appearances on Magenta Sport in preparation for the quarter-finals at Hammer Straße. In order to analyze exactly how and in what basic order the Münster team plays. And what his protégés can do about it. Niemöller’s clear attack announcement: “We have to stand up to it and give up the great respect.”
Which they did – and especially let Bouchama feel it. The German-Moroccan honestly: “That was my feeling too. I should probably be irritated early. But the calculation didn’t work out. I stayed completely calm.” He even had consoling words ready for “Red Sinner” Pilica: “An unfortunate situation. He didn’t want to hit me and hurt me, he apologized to me straight away. Just like I did immediately to Freiburg’s Pellegrino .”
Nevertheless, sports director Peter Niemeyer (39) also had a serious word with him during the week about the unpleasant action in Breisgau. Which looked really ugly. “In the end, this is how he harms himself the most,” said Niemeyer to BILD, “particularly strong boys like Yassine or Darius Ghindovean always have to live with being pressed harder and attacked.” Overreactions are definitely the wrong answer to this…

The fact that Bouchama stayed in the locker room at halftime against Erkenschwick had nothing to do with the opponent’s rough pace. Coach Hildmann assures: “It was discussed in advance that both Yassine and Darius should play 45 minutes each.” In addition, Bouchama will be in the next league game on Sunday (November 26th) at home against Viktoria Köln (7:30 p.m.) anyway the fifth yellow has to watch.
After the final whistle against Erkenschwick on Saturday, Bouchama got straight into the car with his teammate Niko Koulis (24) and drove to Frankfurt. In order to celebrate the birthday of ex-Prussian Henok Teklab (25/now Royale Union Saint Gilloise) together there – in his home country. Also there was Manfred “Manni” Kwadwo (28), who now plays for fifth division club VfR Mannheim. Bouchama: “We all got along really well when we were together in Prussia and had a quiet and delicious evening in a sushi restaurant.”

Less nice, however, were the firecrackers that exploded in the Erkenschwick fan block during the quarter-finals, leaving five injured. Two employees of a concession stand, two spectators and a helper from the Workers’ Samaritan Association suffered severe blast injuries (BILD reported). As part of the immediate investigation, the police were able to arrest a 33-year-old suspect.
