Karlsruher SC will avenge the 0:3 loss in Kaiserslautern against SpVgg Greuther Fürth on Friday. "Of course, a derby defeat hurts. But it's pointless to look back, it's on to the next game", said defender Stephan Ambrosius. There's not much time to dwell on the defeat after all. The next opportunity comes on Friday evening against SpVgg Greuther Fürth (18:30 CET/Audio stream and live ticker on sportschau.de). "To make up for it a bit and get back on track", Ambrosius hopes. The Ghanaian has been back at the club since the winter break, this time with a buyout option. Many things at KSC still feel familiar. Directly into the winter slump of six goalless games and only one point - for Ambrosius, no problem. "I'm just happy to be here to play football", he says. As an experienced player, he now also takes on a role in a rejuvenated team, which is almost inevitable. "I can sometimes give something to the others through my experiences in the last few years", he hopes. This is also what KSC coach Christian Eichner finds. However, Eichner attributes Ambrosius' growing role to his performances on the pitch: "Just in the points that were missing in the derby. He's important for the team and brings things that we don't have in large numbers", emphasizes the coach. Despite the defeat, KSC continues to move up the table, showing good prospects. But also always fluctuations. The sporting situation of the Badeners is described by Ambrosius rather neutrally. "We have good players, we have good performances", he says, but adds: "We're not yet a top team." The lack of consistency over 90 minutes is a theme. "We sometimes sleep through half-time", Ambrosius admits. In view of this, the home game against Fürth takes on additional significance. Although Eichner has once again made his selection, excluding only the yellow-carded Dzenis Burnic, the players must win back the sympathy of the fans, which they lost in Kaiserslautern. "The team has noticed this and will react. This has already been shown in training", promises the coach. On the other hand, the Franken have just worked their way out of the relegation zone after a difficult season. For Eichner, they are currently the "team of the hour". Ambrosius has already played against the Spielvereinigung in 2023 with KSC in the Wildpark. Also on a Friday. At the end of 90 minutes, it was 2-1 for the Badeners, but the defender was already sent off after 25 minutes due to a red card. In the opinion of the Ghanaian national player, all this is secondary. What matters is one's own attitude. "If you look in the mirror and can say you've given it your all, that's what matters", he emphasizes before the decisive game.
