The most important question after the winter break was answered in the affirmative by 1. FC Magdeburg in Braunschweig: Will the Elbe city team manage to continue their streak before the break and maintain their good form? FCM won 3:0 at their direct rivals in the fight against relegation, were superior throughout the match and could probably have won even more.
However, that's not why they're flying high in Magdeburg. The players and coaches emphasized in unison on Friday that - apart from the three points - nothing had been achieved. "We can't overestimate our flow now, we have to keep our feet on the ground," said FCM top scorer Baris Atik. Coach Petrik Sander emphasized: "It wasn't that long ago that we had three points. So keep your feet on the ground."
