Leo experts fear a shutdown in the promotion battle.
From a sporting point of view, a third wave is urgently needed!
Mutation of the white-blue winning gene?
Just a threesome from the last five games.
The four next Leo opponents are also worried.
So far, Köllner has had an answer to every crisis.
Alarming numbers, worse R-value, worrying trend reversal
.
Experts from the federal government have been warning of a third corona wave for days.
Elsewhere, at the third division soccer club
TSV 1860
, one ponders an
unfavorable development as well
.
The S-value is declining (last win on January 27th), after the
high at the beginning of the year
a trend towards the U- and N-value started.
Five games with two draws (U) and two defeats (N) suggest a
mutation of the white-blue winning gene
.
Not only
Leo experts
fear a
shutdown in the promotion battle
.
From a sporting point of view, a third wave is needed urgently!
Lo and behold: there is hope.
It is fed by the
curve of the previous Löwen season
.
And from the current
key figures of the upcoming opponents
.
They look anything but rosy.
Haching (Friday, 7 p.m.)
: without a win for eleven games (with only one U), worst third division team in 2021.
Duisburg (Saturday, March 6)
: also under the descent line, but most recently with an increasing S-value (two wins after the previous one three losses).
Halle (March 13)
: The U-value has dominated here for eight games (5; twice N).
Finally, catch-up opponents Lübeck (Wednesday, March 17)
:
bottom of the
table and clearly a hotspot in terms of N (seven defeats in the last nine games).
Of course,
Michael Köllner had
the feasible tasks in mind in the end of winter when he
said
after the
1: 2 at 1. FC Saarbrücken
: “That's the nice thing about football: We'll be back on the field on Friday.
We have to train well all week now. ”
To usher in the third wave of success
.
That's the nice thing about football: We'll be back on the pitch on Friday.
1860 coach Michael Köllner.
That is not only giving hope to the coach: That the Lions are able
to work on stable numbers in
a disciplined
manner
over a longer period of time
.
After the setback from Völklingen, Köllner is aiming for the next positive series, it would be the third.
Things went well from
game day 1 to 9
(17 points, average 1.88), lousy from
10 to 14
(three points, average 0.6), and again well from
game day 15 to 21
(17 points, average 2.42), since then again bad (1 point, average 0.33).
After all: So far, Köllner has always managed
to react
to
crisis symptoms
.
Sometimes he changed the team, sometimes the tactics, but never his conviction that he
would
be able
to stay
at the
top until the very end
.
The
turnaround just before Christmas
is
particularly
encouraging
.
The Lions came back
even stronger
from the first
wave of failure
.
3-0 against Mannheim, 5-0 in Kaiserslautern - ailing opponents helped turn the trend in 1860.
Just like now,
grateful opponents
wait
until mid-March
.
Köllner knows: “There are still 42 points to get.” And also
captain Sascha Mölders, 35,
will do everything possible to
inoculate
his team with the
winning vaccine
again by Friday
.
"Now we have a derby," he said defiantly: "We really want to get the points in that." The desired R-value is still possible.
R for up!
