The Bundesliga match between FC St. Pauli and RB Leipzig is in jeopardy due to the weather conditions in Hamburg, with heavy snowfall continuing in phases. Head coach Alexander Blessin is nevertheless preparing himself and his team to play against the top team in Saxony at the Millerntor Stadium on Saturday (3.30pm/Sky).
"We are assuming that the game will take place. We want to play and that's why there are no question marks at all," said the 52-year-old at the matchday press conference ahead of the continuation of the soccer season after the Christmas break. He and his players are preparing accordingly. Blessin also has no alternative program in the event of a cancellation. "There is no plan B for us."
Preparation was not easy under the weather conditions. "We always looked to see what time slots we had so that we might not have to train in the snow," said the head coach about the training session two days before the game. Despite the work of the greenkeepers and the pitch heating, it was difficult.
