Klose lauds Anpeitscher Reichert as coaches stay silent

Nuremberg coach Miroslav Klose says he barely had to intervene to fire up his players ahead of the Frankfurt derby, handing the motivational task to captain Jan Reichert, whom he describes as the ‘Anpeitscher’. The German trainer adds that ‘Wir Coaches have almost said nothing’.

Reichert leads the pre‑match hype

Klose explains that the Aufgabe of energising the squad was taken over by the Kapitän Jan Reichert. He notes that the captain’s approach was enough to get the team ready without further input from the coaching staff.

Reichert, acting as the Anpeitscher, used his influence to rally the Spieler before the clash. According to Klose, the captain’s words sparked the necessary intensity among the players.

Double‑packer Piet Scobel also speaks in the interview, reflecting on his recent Fußball‑Auszeit. Scobel says the break allowed him to recharge before returning to full‑time duties.

Klose, the Trainer, emphasizes his philosophy of minimal interference, trusting the leadership within the dressing room. He believes that when the Kapitän steps up, the rest of the staff can afford to stay largely silent.

The upcoming Frankfurt derby remains the focal point for the squad, with the captain’s motivation expected to carry the team into the match. Both Klose and Scobel stress the importance of internal drive over external coaching directives.
