Steer grumbles: "I got stomach cramps"

Won, but still not satisfied: Dorfen's trainer Franz Steer was grumpy.

Dorfen - After the away game of ESC Dorfen on Friday in Schongau had to be canceled due to an open Covid-19 test of a player, which was then confirmed as negative on Friday, the Sunday home game against ESC Geretsried was nothing Path that was just won.

The Riverrats came to Dorfen with the recommendation of a 9: 4 home win over ERSC Amberg, the next ESC home opponent.

After his team's 7: 6 extra win, ESC coach Franz Steer was not satisfied.

"I got stomach cramps in this game," said the committed coach at the beginning of the press conference.

He was particularly annoyed about two mistakes made by his team, which earned the opponent two overpaying hits.

"Since none of the substitutes has come here yet, one of them is already jumping on the ice, that's a matter of concentration." Lukas Miculka's unnecessary revenge frustration foul in the attacking third a few minutes before the 6: 5 win that was within reach, understandably, annoyed him.

Because promptly the Geretsrieder came in excess to 6: 6.

"We still get too many goals against," criticized Steer.

However, he should not have meant goalkeeper Andreas Marek, who was least to blame.

The ESC trainer also referred to the battered and sick players, "so that the whole week had to be trained with an under-staffed".

Tomas Vrba tried it, it didn't work yet.

Miculka could only train once, and Kristaps Millers was still on sick leave.

"I'm not asking for rocket science and I'm not a fan of video, but I have to point out the mistakes to the players," said Steer.

"Block a shot in ice hockey - I already practiced it when I was a member of the EVL, threw myself into the shot and Butzi Auhuber shot - I was so stupid."

When asked whether there was something positive about this game, especially in the second third, when the young people stepped on the gas seamlessly with the leaders and showed visible progress, Steer said: "Yes to the front." And he named Sandro Schröpfer as a substitute.

“He accelerates for 60 minutes, was always there in summer, like most youngsters, they are fit,” praised the coach.

Some just have to work a lot, like at work, if they want to be successful

Geretsried's substitute coach Kevin Olivo, who represented coach Rudi Sternkopf, commented only briefly: "We were 4-2 in the first third, but overall we didn't get into the game that well and in the meantime we completely lost the thread." his people then really accelerated again, and in the extension there is always a bit of luck.
