"You can't always score 80, 90 goals"

Schwabl Jr. about the value of a stable defensive and the trend towards a tie, not only in Unterhaching.

Stable share price, stable results. It is running at SpVgg Unterhaching, where another milestone is announced after the successful IPO with the purchase of the sports park. The fact that Markus Schwabl, 29, still frowns when he takes a seat under the carnival decoration in the stadium restaurant, has something to do with something that is growing towards the trend across the league - with the tendency to draw, as the name suggests , rarely have clear feelings. "If you really want to make the big hit at some point, you mustn't have too many draws," the experienced right-back preaches.

With 15 draws, Haching was top of the league last season. This year there have been eleven again, whereby the 1-1 in Rostock was naturally rated differently than the home 1-1 against Viktoria Köln. Schwabl's conclusion after the previous day: “Duisburg screwed it up, Ingolstadt too. Actually, that would have been our chance. , . "

Victories in this 3rd division have catapult effects (see Uerdingen). You have to be able to afford a draw. Haching can do that as third in the table. Firstly, because the SpVgg has made a good start in the second half of the year. And, no less important: Because no third division team plays zero more often (ten times) - and none concede so few goals at all (a total of 26).

As a member of the best back four in the 3rd league, Schwabl finds it easy to use old football wisdom: a good attack wins games, a good defense championships. Schwabl puts it this way: "If you concede 50, 60 goals every season, then you always have to score 70, 80, 90, and that's difficult." He refers to last year's promoters Osnabrück and Karlsruhe: Both would have had very stable defensive lines (31 and 38) and in the end marched more confidently than the gate factory Wehen (71 hits), which had to struggle through the relegation.

But does Haching have to advance this year? Schwabl does not deny a certain pressure, the other Schwabl in the club already ensures this: President Manni, who is not just in the ears of his son. "He doesn't say now: Men, this year it has to work, otherwise everything will collapse here. But that's the way it is: If the mentality isn't right like a couple of times in the first half of the season, it can get very uncomfortable. ”On the other hand, Haching survived the games in Halle (Sunday, 2 p.m.) and against Bayern II (February 28, 7 p.m.) undamaged, the president should not ask for the B grade.
