The reserve of VfB Hallbergmoos is on the offensive in the relegation battle of district class 4.
But in 2020 that backfired.
Hallbergmoos
- The year 2020 was mainly under the motto "Reconstruction" for the second representation of VfB Hallbergmoos.
At the beginning of his tenure, coach Gencer Ugurlu had only a few kickers available, so a powerful squad had to be put together for the district class team.
“Actually, I wanted to take a break first, but I really wanted to help my youth club,” emphasizes the 44-year-old coach, who last worked for FC Neufahrn in the 2018/19 season.
According to the Blues Brothers motto “We're bringing the band back together” Ugurlu contacted former teammates and is therefore all the more satisfied with his squad: “The best thing is to see that all the boys from earlier have come back.
We have a great team spirit. "
VfB Hallbergmoos II takes flight to the front
Footballers like midfielders Markus Kratzer and Maximilian Kopp are also responsible for this, and they take on management tasks both on and off the pitch.
The trainer also praised 19-year-old Marc Winkelmann, “who did a great job”.
The challenge for Ugurlu was great, not only in terms of organization, but also in terms of sport: nine points had to be caught up in order to reach the relegation ranks in district class 4, now there are only four.
The trainer relies primarily on the attack department: “We have a lot of offensive players - of course I have to adapt to that.
That is why we take flight forward.
We'd rather win 3-2 than 1-0. "
The result: an average of seven goals were scored in the VfB reserve games in 2020.
Sometimes the offensive approach went well, like in the 5-2 in the six-point game against Finsing II, sometimes in the pants - for example in the 3-8 against Hohenpolding.
“Yes, that's partly how it is.
That's part of our philosophy, ”says Ugurlu.
Dropouts against the bottom of the table
The coach is more disappointed to have missed three valuable points against the bottom of the table, Türk Gücü Erding: “I had a bad feeling the whole week before.
Unfortunately, despite all the hints, the player's brain thinks that you can take one or two steps less against the last one. ”The result: a 3: 4 defeat.
Such dropouts should be avoided in the spring, because the goal is clearly to stay in the league: "We definitely want to catch one of the teams in the relegation ranks and then save ourselves through these additional games." “In the summer we had little time because of the management situation.
In the spring we want to practice the positional play in detail. "
Two new additions to the Hallbergmoos reserve
The team will only have changed a little by then.
Only Kevin Schmid (Vatanspor Freising) and Erjanit Berisha (SV Wörth) will join VfB II, while defender Christopher Pippard will be suspended for professional reasons.
Until then, Ugurlu relies on technical aids that are supposed to keep his boys fit: “The players use training apps like Runtastic or B42.
But of course everyone wants to play again soon. "
