Including the Toto Cup defeat, TSV 1860 has been without a win for three competitive games.

Coach Michael Köllner sees himself as he should and doesn't feel any pressure.

Munich – It wasn't the biggest alarm bell that the President sounded, but with just a few words Robert Reisinger managed to become surprisingly clear.

His comment after the 2-1 home defeat against Ingolstadt, the third winless competitive game in a row: "If we all focus on our tasks again, we will also achieve the goal we have set."

The word “again” was noteworthy in this context, as it implies: not everyone may have been fully focused recently.

The second part of Reisinger's positively formulated conditional clause is also galvanized.

Conversely, assuming that the condition was not met, this would mean: The goal, promotion to the second division, will be missed if 1860 continues sportingly as it did last.

Coach Michael Köllner before the game against Osnabrück: "We want to score again there"

The message seems to have gotten to Michael Köllner.

In training on Tuesday, he tightened the reins noticeably and ordered increasing runs until he dropped.

He seemed pissed off - and let his players feel it.

A similar picture at the press conference before the game in Osnabrück (Saturday, 2 p.m.).

The lion coach looked thoughtful, introverted, almost a little tense.

When things were still going on and Köllner got into the mood to chat, such an appointment sometimes lasted for three-quarters of an hour.

On Thursday, press spokesman Rainer Kmeth looked at his watch after the last answer and said: "17 minutes – I think that will go into the record books."

Focus on the sport - that's how Köllner's appearance can be called.

The SCH .

"The feeling" of the first defeat at home drove the coach and team throughout the week, he explained: "It was important that we simply work well again." He also used the word "again", but probably unconsciously.

Koellner's expectation for the game in Osnabrück is that his team takes their destiny into their own hands, is active and self-confident like a top team.

"We want to score points there again," he said: "It's about setting an example in the first duels.

In the end it will be decisive how we get on the pitch on Saturday.”

TSV 1860 Munich: Coach Michael Köllner feels no pressure

So far, so focused.

The coach only reacted irritably when he was confronted with a statement from Reisinger's summer interview, according to which "Mr. Köllner" should please "score in 14 of 17 games" before the World Cup break;

in other words: lose a maximum of three times.

Köllner now has two defeats – and of course he doesn't want a third to come.

But he has even less desire to be reminded of this kind of ultimatum.

"I'm a fact-oriented person," he said, "and the facts are that after matchday eleven we're in second place." He doesn't feel any pressure, no matter from which side.

"We put our own pressure on ourselves," he said: "We want to be at the top at the end of the season, that's what drives us." want to assume.

That was the end of the matter for him.

It irritates Köllner that criticism of his work is loud, whether expressed internally, by the media or whoever.

"Sometimes I feel like we're twelfth or thirteenth and not Osnabrück," he said.

The main thing is that we have to bring our own strengths to bear on Saturday.” (ULI KELLNER)
