After the success in the DFB Cup and the resounding victory against Freiburg, TSV 1860 München is in a hangover mood. The weak performance in the 1:3 in Osnabrück also called investor Hasan Ismaik onto the scene.
Actually, he is the man of the moment, but Stefan Lex’s fourth goal in the past three competitive games had no real value on Saturday. The attacking player, who was among the scorers in the cup against Schalke (1:0) and in the league against Freiburg (6:0), had indeed fired his team into the lead in the guest game at Bremer Brücke. But after a good opening phase, the visitors not only gave away the lead, but the entire game. “All of a sudden we didn’t have any grip anymore, we let ourselves be pushed into the back. Unfortunately, it continued the same way in the 2nd half,” the 31-year-old is quoted as saying on the club website. Captain and striker Sascha Mölders spoke of “scaredy-cat football”. If you don’t fight any duels, “then you can’t get anything here. “
It’s disappointing for all of us to deliver a game like that.
The way the 1:3 defeat came about puzzled not only Lex and Mölders, but also their coach. “It was a strange game. I’ve never seen at 1860 that we play a very, very good away game for the first 25 minutes, take a deserved lead, do everything to take something here and then give the game away carelessly after half an hour,” Köllner said.
The Giesing side missed the chance to make up ground in the table. Instead, their eyes are directed downwards – despite the fact that they still have a catch-up game to play. The relegation zone is only one point away. “It’s disappointing for all of us to deliver a game like that,” said the coach, announcing measures: “We hope to work things back on the training pitch during the international break. “
Ismaik demands turnaround after international break
The defeat at the second-placed team in the table also drew the attention of investor Hasan Ismaik, who spoke out on Facebook as usual. “I’ll be honest: the way you gave up in the second half of the 3-1 defeat in Osnabrück today is not Lion-like. I am extremely disappointed, also when I look at the table. We all had imagined it differently.” The Jordanian made it clear to trust players and the coach, “but I expect a turnaround after the international break. “
