Regional soccer team Rot-Weiss Essen beat Wuppertaler SV (2-1) for the fourth win in a row. The leader was successful with a system change.
It was the fifth minute in the stadium on Hafenstraße: in the top game between Red and white food and the Wuppertal SV had WSV-Defender Durim Berisha lost the ball in the build-up game and made it possible to eat Isaiah Young the great opportunity for leadership. The lightning-fast offensive player ran freely to the guest goalkeeper Sebastian Patzler to, rounded the keeper and scored the 1-0 for with a left-footed shot RWE.
It was the starting signal for a strong early phase for the leaders. Felix Bastians (12.) increased to 2:0 and also the goal from Marco Koenigs (44th) had no effect. The Essen team defeated Wuppertal 2-1 and extended their lead in the standings.
Goal scorer Young beamed after the final whistle in the catacombs: “We were there from the first minute. The willingness to run and tackle was right. I was a bit lucky with my goal. I wanted to play the goalkeeper, but it was the defenders’ turn. Sometimes you have to be lucky. Wuppertal was good too, but the win is deserved. First against second – the game was obviously important.”
I will play where the coach wants me to. ‘Angel’ is a very intelligent player. We trained it all week and it worked well.

Coach took care of the installation Christian Neidhart for an upset by having the outside player next to goalscorer Simon Engelman, who prepared Bastians 2-0 in an exemplary manner, ordered to the center of the storm. “I’ll play where the coach wants. ‘Engel’ is a very intelligent player. We’ve been training all week and it worked well,” said the 23-year-old, assessing the teamwork positively.
The RWE trainer explained his idea behind the system changeover RevierSport– Demand: “We had a long time to get used to Wuppertal. Tactically we did it very differently. It worked out great in the first half. But: We don’t have that many games of this kind in the league. Most of the time we play our boots down and the opponent adapts well to us. That’s why it was a completely different game against Wuppertal. But we always had a plan B in the back of our heads.”
