Türkgücü Munich just can't get out of the crisis.

After the next defeat against Halleschen FC, the future of the club is still completely open.

Munich/Halle

– Türkgücü Munich* continues to experience troubled times.

In addition to the ongoing uncertainty about the future of the club, the team around coach Andreas Heraf is also in a deep sporting crisis.

On Tuesday evening it was the next bankruptcy (0: 1) for the Munich team at Halleschen FC.

A completely unnecessary foul by captain Alexander Sorge sealed the defeat, and Halles Huth confidently converted the penalty kick (83').

The club has not won twelve games in a row.

"Emotional world definitely sucks": Türkgücü goalkeeper Flückiger completely served after an ongoing series without a win

Türkgücü goalkeeper Franco Flückiger was served accordingly after the final whistle.

“The emotional world definitely sucks.

We invested so much again, ran so much and threw ourselves into the duels," the 30-year-old told

.

“Heads are empty, nevertheless we have to go on.

It just keeps going.” Coach Andreas Heraf also seemed at a loss after the game.

"A point would have been deserved," said the 54-year-old, who emphasized the unrest surrounding the club after filing for bankruptcy.

"I'm missing a total of 16 people." 

Türkgücü Munich coach Andreas Heraf criticizes Türkgücü's transfer activities.

In addition, the Austrian denounced the precarious personnel situation at Türkgücü: "Today I took the trouble to calculate what people I'm actually missing.

I was promised three players, but I didn't get them.

Then I had three players who were given up.

Then I have three long-term injuries.

Now there are two more long-term injuries with Barry and Mavraj, Knöll has injured himself.

I'm missing a total of 16 people." He was therefore "very proud of the guys who are here."

Türkgücü Munich: Quartet around Tosun and Vollath not there again - Heraf asks the quality question

Türkgücü Munich traveled to the away game at Hallesches FC with only 16 players.

With the exception of substitute goalkeeper Wagner, everyone was used.

Again not in the squad: The quartet around goalkeeper René Vollath, Sebastian Maier, Filip Kusic and Ünal Tosun, who were kicked out of the squad before the game against VfL Osnabrück.

"There are reasons why they weren't there," said Andreas Heraf, adding meaningfully: "There are reasons why we're in there, it's also a question of quality.

Whether one or the other would have helped us, I can't say at this point."

Türkgücü Munich's future completely unclear - Flückiger is courting investors

After the opening of the insolvency application, only the two games against VfL Osnabrück and Hallesche FC were initially secured at Türkgücü Munich.

Whether and how things will continue beyond that, the coach could not give any new information.

"For me, the last stand is that it will continue, I assume that." Andreas Heraf does not rule out a worst-case scenario: "If the information comes that it doesn't go on, then I will find out. “ Those responsible around Managing Director Max Kothny continue to remain silent on the subject.

After the US financial services provider "Remitly" joined Türkgücü Munich, there was new hope for the future of the club.

It is still not known whether the money from the sponsorship deal will be enough to keep the club afloat until the end of the season.

In order to avert a possible dissolution of the football company, further investor funds will probably be needed.

Goalkeeper Flückiger therefore diligently beats the drum: "Everyone can see what a character this team has.

We all hope that it will also appeal to someone who can help us further.

The team lives, the team wants, the team bites.” (Vinzent Fischer)
