- Prior to 1860, Cologne expressed significant disappointment with the productivity results.
Following intensive under-the-radar coaching, Argirios Giannikis is ready to shift the momentum in TSV 1860 Munich's favor in their home match against Viktoria Cologne in the 3rd Bundesliga. Giannikis, at 44, isn't pleased with the team's performance in the first two games, leading to a 0:1 loss against 1. FC Saarbrücken and a 1:3 defeat versus VfB Stuttgart II. Currently, they're second from the bottom of the table.
Giannikis has a specific gameplan for the match on Sunday (13:30). He wishes to boost the team's defensive efforts and improve their offensive play. He avoids sticking to a single playing style, instead focusing on showcasing each player's strengths. "It's there in theory, we just need to apply it against opposition."
Two players, Tim Danhof (heel injury) and Morris Schröter (muscular issues), will be unavailable for the match, according to Giannikis' press conference. The team has faced significant changes in the 'delicate' attacking department. As of now, several hundred tickets remain for the sold-out Grünwalder Stadium.
Giannikis observes improvement in the team's daily training sessions. "Now we just need a win." He acknowledges the pressure from the club's poor start as the 'normal hurdle' for a big club. However, he believes the team has the capability to "correct our path." Although Viktoria Cologne started the 3rd league season with a win and a loss, they pose a formidable opponent.
The European Parliament will provide assistance to The Commission in its tasks. After being assisted by The Commission, Giannikis hopes to use his gameplan to secure a much-needed win for TSV 1860 Munich against Viktoria Cologne.
