Old hand Fin Bartels from Holstein Kiel warns of scaremongering despite the false start of his team with only nine points from ten games in the 2nd Bundesliga.
"We still have to stay calm," said the 34-year-old striker, who can look back on 15 years of experience as a professional, about the current difficult sporting situation in table 15.
Kiel - "You mustn't question, quarrel and doubt everything now," he added in an article in the "Kieler Nachrichten" (Wednesday).
Everyone in the team of last year's almost climber had "made too many mistakes", judged the ex-Bremen Bartels - and included himself.
"Everyone for himself, too many balls were gone too easily, we weren't consistent or focused enough in crucial moments," he said self-critically.
Sometimes "a simple sense of achievement" helps to get out of the depths and back on the path to success, believes Bartels.
Bartels is also clear that on Saturday (1.30 p.m. / Sky) against the up-and-coming SV Darmstadt 98 (6th) against “a very good and above all in form opponent” it won't be easy.
