SV Waldhof Mannheim were only eliminated in the state cup and now lost 0:5 at VfL Osnabrück. The fans asked the Waldhof pros to the fence, for a report.

Of course, Christian Neidhart had imagined this 54th birthday quite differently. The former coach of Rot-Weiss Essen went down 0:5 with SV Waldhof Mannheim at VfL Osnabrück. The Mannheim team is now six points behind second place, one of the two direct promotion places.

The players around captain Marcel Seegert had to face the fans at the fence after the game. They were virtually asked to report. “Of course it’s not nice to have to listen to that, but it’s part of the game. It also has something to do with decency. You don’t deserve such a shitty kick. Point” It hurts extremely. A pitch black day,” said Seegert on Waldhof TV.

We have to let the game sink in and analyse it. We have to bake smaller rolls now. There is nothing conciliatory for me on this day.

Neidhart analysed this defeat quite matter-of-factly on Magenta TV. It is also clear that Mannheim had to play with ten men from the 45th minute onwards, when Julian Riedel was shown a yellow card. The birthday boy Neidhart summed up: “With the 0:3 behind us and one man less, it was all about keeping the result and not falling apart. We have to let the game sink in and analyse it. We have to bake smaller bread now. There is nothing conciliatory for me on this day.”

SV Waldhof Mannheim have set their sights on promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga this season. In the next match against 1. FC Saarbrücken, SV Waldhof must get back on the road to success. Otherwise, the atmosphere will probably be even more unpleasant for the Waldhof pros than “just” being asked to report to the fence…
