Kaiserslautern is starting the new season with test matches and a training camp. On June 22, the professionals of 1. FC Kaiserslautern will begin with lactate testing and other medical examinations. The first training session is scheduled for June 25. On June 28, the FCK will play a fan match with a supporting program and autograph session. Coach Torsten Lieberknecht wants to reorganize and optimize the squad. New signing Simon Asta from Greuther Fürth is supposed to help. Asta is 1.78 meters tall and a trained right-back. He says: „It feels right for me to take the next step in my development with FCK.“ The 2. Liga starts at the beginning of August. Kaiserslautern has a lot planned and wants to attack the Bundesliga again in the new season. The FCK finished seventh with 53 points. At the Betze, they are still discussing how they could have reached third place. The answer: not at all! Even with a full yield from all four games under Lieberknecht, Lautern would have finished only fourth with 58 points. But the FCK would not have been able to catch up with the goal difference to Köln and Elversberg. Now the squad will be reorganized and optimized. Coach Lieberknecht needs players who fit his approach. Simon Asta is the first new signing. Others are to follow. The FCK wants to be successful again in the new season. The fans hope for a good start. On June 29, the first test match will take place against SV Hermersberg. The training camp will go from July 13 to 20 in Sterzing. The players are ready for the new season. They want to bring the FCK back to the Bundesliga.
