We Get Going Again On Tuesday: Jürgen Kohler And MSV Are Coming

[3.02.] After the Derby is before another Derby. 75 hours after the end of the 127th Revier Derby between FC Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund, the "East-West Summit" of the B1/A40 will take place. On Tuesday evening (8PM CET kickoff) at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, BVB will face promotees MSV Duisburg.

Jürgen Kohler: An idol makes his return.

The Schwarzgelben (Black & Yellows) will be doubly motivated for this match. One reason is to right the 1-1 draw result of the match in Duisburg, where despite producing their best away performance of the season, BVB only came away with a draw. The second reason is that for the first time since the 1993 UEFA Cup Final as a member of Juventus Turin, Jürgen Kohler will step onto the Strobelallee as an opponent.

Between 1995 and 2002, the former "Footballer of the Year" laced up his boots for BVB, with whom he was German Champion in 1996 and 2002, won the World Club Cup and European Champions´ League in 1997 and also made the UEFA Cup Final in 2002. Kohler participated in 191 Bundesliga and 40 European Cup matches for Borussia Dortmund.

During the winter break, the 40 year-old joined MSV Duisburg as Norbert Meier´s successor as head coach and celebrated a 1-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart to open the second round of the Bundesliga season. Today, MSV played 2-2 at home against Kaiserslautern after leading 2-0 until the 79th minute. FCK´s Halfar then hit the net twice within 4 minutes to level the score.

Tickets for the match on Tuesday, February 7, 2006 (Kickoff 8PM CET) at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK can be obtained online here. The tickets will be at a "Will Call" window for pickup.
