SV Waldhof Mannheim spend the winter in a non-promotion place. In the new year, the Buwe want to attack again – and upgrade their personnel to do so.
“That was deserved,” said Marc Schnatterer after the 3-0 defeat at leaders Magdeburg, “you have to accept that.” Nevertheless, the 36-year-old veteran takes more positive than negative impressions with him into the short Christmas holiday. “We always got back up after small setbacks, we have to do the same now,” explained Schnatterer.
On 17 January, a Monday evening, it continues with a home match against Dortmund II. Then, the fourth-placed team in the table will again attack the teams ahead of them in the standings. Meppen and Braunschweig, each with 36 points, have only two points more than SVW (34).
In terms of personnel, those responsible would like to upgrade. “We have done our homework,” said coach Patrick Glöckner mysteriously. President Bernd Beetz had recently announced that he wanted to be promoted in this season if possible.
