Fortuna Düsseldorf Seek to Improve Offense During International Break

Fortuna Düsseldorf faced a tough challenge against Karlsruhe SC, a team undefeated this season. Despite creating four big chances during the match, the home team ended in a 0-0 draw.

Coach Daniel Thioune remained optimistic about Fortuna's potential, acknowledging that while a 0-0 draw was acceptable, they wanted to win. Thioune believes the international break will provide an opportunity to integrate the new players into the team, particularly Slovenian international Zan Celar, who joined from Queens Park Rangers.

Celar made his debut for Fortuna as a substitute against KSC but didn't make a significant impact. Thioune expects it to be easier to fit Celar and other new players into the system during the international break, as the team will have more time to work on their system and address their offensive concerns without the pressure of upcoming matches.

Florian Kastenmeier, Fortuna's goalkeeper, expressed mixed feelings following the draw. He criticized the team's careless finishing, as many of their chances ended up in the stands. Tim Oberdorf, a midfielder for Fortuna, shared Oberdorf's frustration, expressing disappointment at not winning the match.

The international break also allows Fortuna to address their careless finishing and offensive struggles. Thioune expects it to be easier to fit the new players into the system during the international break, which will hopefully lead to improved offensive performance.

It's worth noting that Fortuna Düsseldorf has six national team players, making it difficult for them to practice together during the international break. These six players will not be available for practice during the break.

Despite the challenges, Thioune remains optimistic about Fortuna's future. He expects Zan Celar's integration into Fortuna's system to take place during the international break, and the impact he'll have on the team's offense remains to be seen.

The match against Karlsruhe SC was Fortuna's third consecutive unbeaten game, including a first-round win in the DFB-Pokal. As the international break begins, Fortuna Düsseldorf will focus on improving their offense and preparing for their next matches.
