President Manni Schwabl spoke out against Hansa Rostock about relegation from the 3rd division and the future of SpVgg Unterhaching in the Bavarian regional league.
Unterhaching - The relegation of SpVgg Unterhaching from the 3rd division to the Regionalliga Bayern has been confirmed for two weeks.
In the half-time break of the last third division home game against Hansa Rostock, which was lost 1-0 despite an appealing performance, President Manni Schwabl commented on the relegation and the future of the game association.
Manni Schwabl over
... the basis of football:
“We have to get away from something like the Super League and go back down to the base. That is the basis for professional and competitive sport. Before the season started, I didn't expect that it would hit us again. But it is so now. We have to roll up our sleeves again. We now have to take all the youth teams and amateur clubs with us so that everyone can tackle it again because it was a very difficult time. Professional football and the senior management at the DFB and the DFL are well advised to look at the grassroots, otherwise we will have a rude awakening in ten or 20 years. I think we are already lagging a bit, especially in the German junior team. But you can talk like anything, nobody really cares, unfortunately. "
... the topic of offspring:
“I'll say no harm without benefit.
We will now go all the way back to our basic base and throw in the players from our own NLZ.
We have an incredibly good youth work.
The young trainers do a great job.
We also invest a lot.
If we don't throw the boys in now, I can cancel the youth work right away.
Now the time of the offspring has come and I hope that we will be back on top in the next two to three years, because it won't be easy.
The others don't sleep either. "
Clubs have to "dig deep into their pockets" for Haching talents
... the whereabouts and departures of players:
“Stephan Hain, Dominik Stahl and Seppi Welzmüller, maybe Markus Schwabl too, are corset bars. The boys like Felix Göttlich or Niclas Anspach had an incredibly good education in our NLZ. They are well advised to stay with us. If an association looks at the fixed-term deposit account and says we want it, then it has to be really painful because quality costs money. We don't give away any. If it suits us too, then we can sit down at a table. But we're far from saying we'll let the boys go without the receiving club really digging into their pockets. Because that mustn't be our claim. "
... the return to the 3rd division:
"I'm not afraid.
We have come a long way in planning the squad.
We have 25 players together.
We'll look selectively and talk to one or the other player.
The contracts that are running out don't hurt that much.
The top talents have contracts and so do the corset bars.
Therefore we will definitely be expected.
Whoever writes us off now is on the wrong track.
I don't know if it's enough in the first year.
You shouldn't underestimate the Regionalliga Bayern either.
Manni Schwabl: "If it takes a year longer, I'll be there too"
... the direct ascent in the next year:
“It would be like feeling up. The first goes straight up. But the others want that too. I see the whole project in the medium term, including all of the youth work. Fortunately, we have always invested and will continue to do so. That is our claim. And if it takes a year longer, I'll be there too. I'm the first to march in front and in three to five years I'll see us back where we belong: in paid football. We will certainly not forget the youth and amateur sports issues. All of football Germany would be well advised to take a closer look. Even when it hurts."
... the relegation:
“The 3: 4 after 3: 1 lead against Verl was the sticking point.
If we had won that, then we could have attacked again and if Stephan Hain had been fit again earlier.
But together we screwed it up, together we have to spoon it out again.
Full speed ahead.
Anyone who knows Haching knows that they always get up when they fall. "
