On December 2nd, 2018, Holstein Kiel travelled to MSV
Duisburg and convincingly won 4-0. Last season, under the command of Tim Walter
(now the coach of VfB Stuttgart), Kiel gained popularity as a high-pressing,

lead to a 6th place finish. Amid this inconsistency though, were
games where their approach couldn’t have been much better, with their win
against Duisburg perhaps being the best example.
