Five points and seven goals less than 2019: does the game association have to orient itself downwards?
Shutdown in the sports park?
The day after the derby collapse around 1860 (0: 2) and the first obvious symptoms of crisis, one internal meeting chased the next.
Manni Schwabl initially only answered press inquiries in writing.
The most pressing question: Do you have to be prepared for a relegation battle at SpVgg Unterhaching?
The Haching President said: "I said before the first game that this season would be brutal due to the circumstances and the strong teams in this league and we have to be careful not to slip right into the back."
The fact is that Haching pays a break for results unusually early in the season.
A year ago, the SpVgg finished fourth after seven rounds - level on points with third-placed Ingolstadt.
Claus Schromm's team had collected 14 points from their first games and only suffered one defeat (0: 3 against Halle).
In comparison, the previous record of the successor Arie van Lent is modest: three wins, four defeats and only six goals scored.
A year ago it was 13.
It is obvious where Haching's shoe pinches.
In addition to a pronounced lion complex, the red-and-blue is troubled by the fact that nobody hits the front if Stephan Hain is injured.
Or as ex-striker van Lent puts it: “We give goals to our opponents and we didn't have any clear decisions ourselves in the last third.
If we don't score, we can't win a game.
We miss that, it really pisses me off - everyone can know that. ”He also explicitly meant his offensive players,“ who can think about it ”.
But: Van Lent didn't want to go too hard with his derby losers who had been punished enough.
When asked whether his team was missing the last punch they needed for such duels, the Dutchman replied: “I don't know.
When you lose, it's always easy to hit a team.
I think we did it well anyway. ”Schwabl sees it this way:“ I think the attitude was not lacking this time.
Unfortunately, we're too harmless in front of the goal - that's just rightly punished in professional football. "
On Saturday in Halle, not only van Lent is hoping for a turnaround.
After the painful experience on Monday, the ex-striker recommends a simple recipe: “The Mölders simply shoots towards the corner flag, the ball is deflected and lands in our goal.
I would wish that too. "
