What a wonderful home premiere it could have been: On Sunday (4 p.m.) volleyball Bundesliga club TSV Unterhaching welcomes the series champion from Berlin.

But the fans have to stay outside.

Unterhaching - Depending on the development of the infection, the ranks of the Bayernwerk Sportarena remain completely or almost empty.

"Zero or ten percent of the hall capacity may be used," explains TSV managing director Mihai Paduretu, who is currently in daily contact with the health department.

Depending on the incidence values, the decision will be made at short notice, but even in the best case scenario, accredited family members or sponsors will be allowed to attend the game.

"Of course, this is not only sobering because of the lack of income, but also because of the lack of mood," says Paduretu.

"But we have to take it as it comes."

Paduretu's son Eric, TSV player, also regrets the situation: “Of course it's a shame that our viewers can't be there to see the superstars from Berlin.

The fans are a huge motivation for every athlete to give their best. ”He does not believe that a large backdrop could put the young people in Hachingen, most of whom will be celebrating their first division debut on Sunday, too nervous, and that a ghost game is even cheaper:“ As a young player you enjoy every point against such an opponent.

In terms of nervousness, I think that as soon as the ball flies on Sunday, there will be no difference.

We also have nothing to lose. "

His trainer Patrick Steuerwald answers the question about the effects of the ghost backdrop on the psyche of the players with an original: “Yes and no.

It can be an advantage.

On the other hand, the fans can also push you up and it is definitely better when they are there. ”In general, according to the ex-national player,“ a certain nervousness can be felt in the team, but that is also part of the first time play such a game. "

Steuerwald does not want to express his expectations in numbers: “No result counts, it just counts to play the best that we are able to play.

Whether that means 13 points, 23 or even winning a set depends on the opponent. "The 34-year-old emphasizes:" Our best is not the same as it was three weeks ago. "

Because, as is well known, the people of Hachingen had to go into quarantine because of a corona case in their area.

“That was a setback,” says Eric Paduretu.

“After two weeks without movement and without a ball you almost have to start again with Adam and Eve.

It takes another two weeks until you get to the level you had before the break.

And through the increase from zero to 100, some physical ailments come back that you had actually cured before. "

Despite this difficulty and the superior strength of the opponent, Paduretu junior, who, because Benedikt Sagstetter is plagued by ligament problems in the ankle, will probably start as a player, has a goal: “The goal is always to get the most out of ourselves, to focus on ourselves, the Things that we have set ourselves to implement and to use the opportunities that we get.
