Landsberg – It was the training dummies (usually used to practice free kicks) in the hallway to the dressing room who got all the frustration from Sascha Mölders: the player coach of the Bayern Bundesliga soccer club TSV Landsberg gave the yellow “metal comrades” a strong one Kick before he disappeared into the catacombs, ranting loudly.
Lost 1:2 against TSV Kottern - it was a "double bankruptcy" in the last game of the year.
It is the fourth bankruptcy in the last six games since the end of the long winning streak against Ismaning on October 22, which saw the district townsfolk drop from 2nd to 4th place in the “Winter Table” with 38 points.
On the other hand, the second defeat in a row means the early end of the Toto Cup.
The game was counted as the first qualifying round for the "Cup".
"There will be no cup games in the new year," confirms player coach Mike Hutterer.
It took a long time for the crippled mood to subside at the subsequent team night (along with the second)...
In front of almost 600 spectators, including national player Kevin Volland (see the column "Very close to it"), the Landsbergers got off to a miserable start (without the ailing central defender Sebastian Schmeiser) and were 1-0 down after only nine minutes thanks to a goal by Christopher Duchardt – the Kotterners Fans, who came by bus and loudly supported their team, celebrated the goal like a victory.
Mölders made it 1-1 after a goalkeeper error (26 '), but despite all efforts and a good Mölders chance at the beginning of the second half, it wasn't enough.
On the contrary: After the pitch had “disappeared” briefly in the Kotterner Pyro fog, the guests scored the winning goal in the 69th minute through Matthias Jocham after a corner kick.
"Very bitter.
You can't ever lose a game like that," said Jürgen Meissner,
Six games, only four points, rank 4 - that's not the claim of TSV Landsberg.
Meissner: "I don't know what it is either.
Certainly not in terms of quality.
It worked before."
However, the sports director notes: "I'm missing the last percent and the fire on the pitch." In addition, the Landsbergers had "penalty bad luck" again.
The young referee Tim Grunert (21/second Bayern league appearance), who sometimes seemed overwhelmed, refused the hosts a clear penalty after a foul on Timo Spennesberger before the break.
Hutterer annoyed: "A situation that decides the game.
This is the third time in a row that this has happened to us.”
Annoying, but can't be changed.
“An unsatisfactory conclusion, we know that.
But everyone somehow plays a bit better against us,” Hutterer recognized.
The best example besides Kottern on Saturday: FC Gundelfingen, who had defeated Landsberg 1-0 the previous week, now lost 6-1 at Schwaben Augsburg.
The TSV winters in 4th place.
out,” says Hutterer.
“But we are only one point behind second-placed Memmingen.
Everything is still in there.”
attack after the break
Now it's time for a break of eight weeks, the start of training for 2023 is on January 30th.
The player-coach is certain: “The winter break will do us a lot of good.
After that we'll attack again." Probably with a few new players in the squad.
According to reports, Meissner has been looking for reinforcements for some time.
Incidentally, Sascha Mölders occupies first place in the top scorer table in the Bavarian League together with his former 1860 teammate Nico Karger (Deisenhofen). Both scored 19 goals – Mölders in 21, Karger in 19 games.
