The schedule for the DFB Pokal 2021/2022 first round tonight or Thursday (26/8/2021) in the morning will feature Bremer SV vs Bayern Munich at the Weserstadion, Bremen.
The match can be watched live via Mola TV live streaming, starting at 01.15 WIB. This match is the first meeting between the two sides in history. In both official competition and test matches, Bremer SV and Bayern have never met each other.
Although it will be recorded as the inaugural meeting, in the match this morning Bayern Munich is still more favored than Bremer.
In terms of the composition of players and the level of competition, Die Roten, which is a Bundesliga team on paper, is certainly better than Bremer, who only inhabits the Oberliga competition (5th strata of the German League).
Moreover, Bayern, who started this season under Julian Nagelsmann, have started to show an increase in performance. After failing to win in a number of matches, Robert Lewandowski and his friends finally managed to win in the last 2 matches.
In addition, the match against Bremer, which incidentally was only a resident of the Oberliga competition, could also be used by Nagelsmann to field a second-tier team.
A number of stars and key players such as: Lewandowski, Leon Goretzka, and Manuel Neuer could be rested in preparation for next week's Bundesliga schedule against Hertha Berlin. "Given the number of games, we want to adjust their workload a bit," said Julian Nagelsmann, Bayern Munich coach. However, Bayern Munich still cannot be careless.
Because they were recorded to have been eliminated in the first round of the DFB Pokal, even though it happened a very long time ago. Precisely in the 1994/1995 season, at that time Die Roten unexpectedly lost 0-1 to TSV Vestenbergsgreuth. Another factor that should not be underestimated is the fact that Bremer SV is one of the strongest teams in the Oberliga.
Throughout history, they have won a total of 14 trophies in the competition. Not only in the Oberliga, the achievements of Benjamin Eta's team were also quite impressive in the Bremen Cup competition. Last season they successfully won the event for the 8th time.
That title then earned Bremer SV the right to appear in this year's DFB Pokal. "It's a football game, and we want to win it.
Everyone can decide for themselves how big his chances are," said coach Benjamin Eta. "You have to see that we can play football. We want to be brave, play fair but also be aggressive on the ball and work hard.
We want an exciting game. We can take a lot from this game, which we will hold on to forever."
