FOCUS
Barcelona, \u200b\u200bMadrid or Manchester? VfB who will be drawn this Friday as opponents for the Champions League first knockout round is, VfB coach Christian Gross currently does not matter. Its concentration is only the last first round match against 1899 Hoffenheim on Saturday.
especially Sven Ulreich (21) takes the derby against 1899 Hoffenheim probably very good nerves. Is quite probable that the keeper Jens Lehmann blocked represented this Saturday in goal for the Reds. It would Ulrey first Bundesliga game since 31 May 2008 (2-2 against Arminia Bielefeld) and his twelfth overall.
so sure Christian Gross was still not specify who in his favor at present has the better cards, VfB coach but made clear. "Sven has advantages over Alexander pride, even when both goalkeepers are fabulous," Gross said on Thursday. The coach has watched both this week and copyright intensively and extensively exchanged with goalkeeper coach Ebbo Trautner. His tentative conclusion: "Sven has because of its presence, the way he conducts his penalty area and control the nose slightly in front." Before the game, United will again consult with Trautner final - but Alexander Stolz (26) is expected to now do little more hope, introduced in 2009 but still on his first Bundesliga use.

March,) again at least gives a little distance from the relegation zone.
three points against 1899 Hoffenheim are this duty.
SPIELVORSCHAU
Hinter den 05ern liegt eine aufregende, aber auch erfolgreiche Halbserie 2009/10 - zumindest fast, denn am Freitag hat der 1. FSV Mainz 05 noch einen richtig dicken Brocken vor der Brust, bevor es in die kurze Weihnachtspause geht.
Schalke 04 hat sich unter Meistermacher Felix Magath zu einer Mannschaft gemausert, die nach einigen Startschwierigkeiten jetzt oben angekommen ist - und mit einem Sieg gegen die Mainzer die Chance auf den Herbstmeistertitel hat.
Am vergangenen Wochenende hat Schalke die in dieser Saison bislang zaubernden Bremer mit einem 2:0-Sieg abgewatscht. Die junge Truppe von Felix Magath zeigte klaren, effizienten Fußball und zog damit verdient als Sieger der Spitzenpartie from Bremen from. A difficult task lies ahead of the team of Thomas Tuchel, but the 05er are very happy to end the first round Schalke.
"The game on Friday is definitely a special one. We expect a euphoric Schalke audience that wants to push his team to the table top. If you want to be number 1, and they do not care who comes here. It will be nice to at to be able to measure these conditions with this extremely high-quality team, "said Tuchel. All
Schalke successes in honor, but the 05er can look back on a first round, which had credited the Rheinhessen at the start of season so no doubt. Nevertheless - the PCD-Eleven is an outsider on Friday and this role, she intends to accept.
", the focus will be to stay awake to stay cool and the spoil to be. We will provide the right to bring an outsider anything goes. We will not be distracted by season review or pat on the back for our home series . We want to once again put an exclamation point at the end of the season so far. Our virtues of running and aggression should be the breeding ground for good performance, "says the Mainz coach.
A new Schalke this season is the virtue in youth. The youngest team the league is not incurring Magath, mean age 22.27 years. The renowned Coach has gone so well, is also evident from the high motivation and willingness to run high - and not least retracted from the results. In the last ten league games had to put it just one defeat, and that a few weeks ago against Borussia Moenchengladbach.
The culmination of the series was now running half of the game to win against strong Bremer, who were unbeaten in 23 competitive matches. Magath saved a little criticism anyway.
Compared with the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung said the coach: "In the first half we were yet subdued and harmless, but in the second half we will have many things right." A phenomenon that is currently playing Schalke well described. A bunch of young, sometimes even more anonymous Wilder, which simply play well and like soccer, without put perfection on the day. A recipe that is similar to the Mainz philosophy. The lack
Rheinhessen, however there is currently driving to gate. Tuchel coach sees this but with a certain looseness. "The fact is that we have played out enough chances. Of course we watch, what is the reason that we have made no goals from open play. Sometimes it is also just the fact that was well defended."
For additional wind could again provide Chadli Amri, who after his shoulder injury a surprising comeback in the early practice sessions experienced. "He trains mostly pain free, an option for Friday," says Tuchel. Whether Captain Tim Hoogland, currently suffering from the flu, may accumulate on Friday at his home race, is still questionable. Is at Schalke midfielder has become big footballing likely not be able to participate in final practice.
"With Tim, it gives me but when he tells me on Friday morning that he is fit and that it's enough for the game. It is a size in our team," said Tuchel.
