Mainz was just 2.5 weeks ago. Those were two must-wins against Freiburg and Zagreb. Talking about “crisis overcome” or “stability demonstrated” is too much for me. We can say in 2 weeks to Bayern, Barca, Gladbach away. Then let’s see where we are and where the journey goes.
So far it’s been solid at best after 5th place in the league, a cup win and a good performance in the CL (all with mandatory victories and a defeat against Real).
Then please quote the post where someone wrote that the crisis has been overcome?
It was just said that we appear more stable. Yes, there were two mandatory mirrors. And these were mastered confidently. Especially yesterday’s away game, after all the recent defeats away from home. Most on the forum assumed it would be a narrow, hard-fought victory. Now you can say it was a confident and deserved victory.
We are making progress and are more stable. Neither more nor less.
We won twice in a row. Once expected because home game, once against Dynamo Hinterdeppendorf (no offense!).
I think that talking about “progress” is quite an exaggeration
“Dinamo Deppendorf” currently has 7 points in the CL and has also scored points against Monaco, who in turn beat Barca. It was a safe away win. For example, the VFB got the A… knocked out in Belgrade. They had 0 points so far. But it’s not just the results, but the way we perform. You are much more stable at the back and also have a better grip on the ball in the center. On top of that, you’re creating chances again, even though Guirassy was out at the start. There were weeks when our offensive game depended solely on him.
We were able to change again more often and soon an important player, Adeyemi, will return.
There is actually little to criticize at the moment. Now at the weekend, of course, comes the first real opponent who will put our progress to the test. But I’m optimistic as long as we don’t make any mistakes in the build-up of the game at the back. I’m a bit worried that Kobel, Bensebaini or whoever will be pressed and play a nice invitational ball for Kane or Musiala
