TSV 1860 lost for the first time in the new year.
Lions coach Argirios Giannikis criticizes Redsinner Frey and calls for development in the team.
Munich – red-sinner Marlon Frey suspended for three games, flu patient Julian Guttau back on the pitch – and U19 derby hero Lukas Reich back with the professionals.
So much for the personnel news from Tuesday, the first day of training between Ulm (0:1) and Dresden (Friday, 7 p.m.).
The next top game casts its shadows ahead - the Lions want to start a new series against the weakening SG Dynamo.
“It shouldn’t happen”: Giannikis is struggling with his first bankruptcy as 1860 coach
When we saw each other again after the day off, the frustration that the old series had broken was still hanging over everything.
“In an annoying way,” said Argirios Giannikis.
The coach blames Jesper Verlaat's missed 1-0 on the overwhelmed referee Tom Bauer.
With VAR, Giannikis believes the goal would “certainly have counted”.
The task for his own team, on the other hand, is: become smarter!
“We actually gave Ulm almost no chance,” he looks back: “Even after the red card (against Frey), the team defended very disciplinedly in a 5-3-1 formation.
And then you concede a stupid corner goal where we leave space free, which shouldn’t happen.”
“Mitch is 20 years young.
The header isn’t necessarily his top quality either, but he has other great skills.”
Argirios Giannikis about Michael Glück, central defender of TSV 1860 Munich.
These two scenes, Giannikis complained, would have deprived the team of the reward they deserved on Saturday.
To put it bluntly: Where Frey showed too much zeal when he jumped in for a red tackle, there was too little apparent will to rectify the situation when the fateful corner was taken in stoppage time.
Without making any serious accusations against Michael Glück, Giannikis said: “Jesper lets himself be pulled out, then Mitch has to close the room.
If he moves out a few steps, the goal won't pass." But, Giannikis added educationally: "He's 20 years young, you can tell.
The header isn’t necessarily his top quality either, but he has other great skills.”
Giannikis was a bit harsher when it came to Frey, who took out his scythe in a situation where he was outnumbered.
"It's a half-track ball, the opponent is heading towards the outside line, there's no immediate danger of scoring that you necessarily have to make a foul," said the coach and reprimanded: "As a 27-year-old player with experience, that shouldn't happen to him."
Max Reinthaler is still missing from TSV 1860 - luck is probably in the starting line-up
The fact that the Lions are in second-to-last place in the fair play ranking is due to scenes like this, says Giannikis: “In the time that we have been working together here, we have always played far fewer fouls than our opponents.
Extremely much less!
You can say we were almost too good.” An important lesson for the analysis: “The relationship: If I play a foul – how do I play a foul?”

Against this background, the Halle game two weeks ago was significant for him: “Halle played 34 fouls for us - so they interrupted 34 attacks and only saw yellow twice.” In the Ulm game, on the other hand: “We commit twelve fouls and get three Cards.
There are various situations that we have to solve more cleverly.” Cleverness and “fulfillment of the task” until the end: “This is a development step where the team has to learn.”
Redsinner Frey now has three games to think about it.
Luck, on the other hand, will be needed again on Friday in Dresden.
Max Reinthaler, who usually sits at the back next to Verlaat, still has a sore knee.
By the way, Giannikis doesn't believe that the team will suffer from the sudden end of the series.
“No,” he said, “because that would mean that we weren’t good against Ulm.
I didn't see it that way.
My impression was also that Ulm would have been happy with a 0-0 draw even if they had the majority.” (ulk)
