After a strong start to the season, SpVgg Unterhaching is now in a relegation zone.
Trainer Arie Van Lent announces changes in an interview.
• The
SpVgg Unterhaching
is after
four defeats in a series
on a
relegation place in the 3. Liga.
• Coach
Arie Van Lent
remains
confident
in the
interview
, but above all calls on his established players.
• The
comeback
of
Stephan Hain
is fast approaching - the veterans
Sascha Bigalke
and
Jim-Patrick Müller
are still an issue.
Munich - Since this week,
Haching has been
on the
bottom line
in the
table
.
The nerves are on edge, which was already evident in the
trainer's
frustration
after the 1: 3 at
KFC Uerdingen
.
Literally,
Arie van Lent had
said: "I hope that everyone looks in the mirror tonight and asks themselves: Was it me who played such shit or was it my neighbor?" How he
sees
the situation at the
suburban stock exchange club
the
Dutchman
reveals
in an interview.
SpVgg Unterhaching: "It was time for a wake-up call"
Mr van Lent, asked directly: Has the relegation battle started?
The
season
is still young, everything is close together, but there must be a reason if you are now in
17th place
.
Even if the
table is
currently not fully meaningful.
We want to
play
in this
league
next year
too.
And so it was time for a
wake-up call
.
How have the reactions been to your rough statement?
I think that the message got through to those who are meant.
The experienced players in particular are now required to do so
Name?
No names
.
But it should be obvious that I wasn't primarily
talking about
the
young players
, but rather those who have been on the field for a long time.
We have to be honest with each other.
And it was important to me to do it publicly.
If my stomach screams like that, then it has to come out.
And you have to
be able to deal with
that in
professional football
.
Does Haching have a problem with personal responsibility?
That is definitely a point.
Demand
and
performance
must match.
Those who think of higher things have to present themselves accordingly.
Four
defeats
in
a row
, that's an art - and not a beautiful one.
The start with three
wins
from the first four
games was
quite remarkable.
Narrow defeats against Saarbrücken and Duisburg are still in the mind
Did the 1: 2 in stoppage time in Saarbrücken destroy more than you thought possible?
That was of course a
low blow
because we
could even have won there in terms
of
performance
.
It was exactly the same afterwards in the 0: 1 against
Duisburg
.
Eight
high profile
chances
and we can't get this thing over the line.
From then on, at the latest, the worm was inside.
As a former striker, you must be in physical pain with seven goals from eight games. . .
Not only me, my
assistant coach Robert Lechleiter
was a
striker
too
- it's the same with him.
We're
just way too harmless
in the
attack
third, that's the
core problem
.
Does the team no longer listen to you?
Yes, I am quite sure of that.
When I see how we train - the
team is
pulling along.
But in the
game
the
head
comes
along, you have to defend yourself and throw yourself in front, again and again, against all odds.
Whether you
score
the
goal
with
your
shoulder or with
your
ear - it doesn't matter, the
ball
is in.
Stephan Hain is not the savior many fans want?
With Stephan Hain, a bearer of hope has returned to training. . .
Maybe he can
come
to
Dresden
with me
during the
English week,
just
wait and see.
But
Stephan
will certainly not be the great
savior
, that would be presumptuous.
With Sascha Bigalke and Jimmy Müller there are two offensive forces who have been left out since the beginning of the season and are not even allowed to train. Can Haching afford in this situation?
It's a decision the
club made
before my time.
On Sunday it's against Viktoria Cologne. What can we expect there?
The
team
will surely
get
a new
face
in parts
.
If my
words were
not
followed by
actions
, then I would be implausible.
