TFP Cup Draw: Hannover 96 must go to Indrach Nordstad in the first round

As part of the ARD Games, the first round of the DFB Cup was drawn on Sunday evening. As always, 64 participants split into two lottery pots. All 18 Bundesliga teams and the 14 teams that finished in the top 14 of the previous season belong to the professional pot – thus making the table 13. And Hannover 96. The remaining 32 teams found themselves in the amateur pot. They all have first-round housing rights.

As a team from the professional tank, it was clear before the draw that 96 people would meet a team from the amateur pot. Former professional Thomas Brooch, who was selected as “Losfee” that evening, will join John Zimmerman’s FC squad. Last season, Corona had to be canceled in the fourth division due to an infection, while Nordsterstar finished 3rd.

Zimmerman “felt like he had played a hundred times against Nordstad”

According to 96 coach Zimmerman, the fight with Eintracht is no longer new territory. At his previous training camps in Havells and Edgestorf, the 41-year-old said he “felt like he had played a hundred times against Nordestet”. Overall, it’s a lot “we can live well through this because we don’t have a long journey”. Sports director Marcus Mann definitely wants to reach the second round 96, which should be a high class club in any case. Nonetheless, Dean said the fourth section from the home is “not to be underestimated”. “There’s no way we can do that.”
