"No subject in the cabin": Can Hanover 96 really focus on the sportsman?

The times are clear: after the clear defeat at Mönchengladbach, Hannover 96 is still stuck in the bottom of the cellar of the 1st Bundesliga. In Saturday's home game (3:30 pm) against Hertha BSC there is an urgent victory, because if it does not work abroad, you can not give anything at home.

No mood at half time

The "Reds" are waiting 36,000 spectators, but we do not expect too much support in the first 45 minutes. This has nothing to do with 96 in particular, but groups of supporters have called for a mood boycott at the national level. They want to draw attention to their request to abolish Monday games and kickoff times during the week.

"Let's hope it will be all the stronger in the second half," said coach Andre Breitenreiter at the press conference. "I love the way fans support our team and there have not been any great expressions of discontent so far."

Waiting for Schwegler and Walace

Positive too: "When the" fullness "looks good, he has not complained about new complaints and is definitely available," Breitenreiter said. With Pirmin Schwegler and Walace you have to wait for the final training. "They normally train with the team today, so you have to wait and see if there are any reactions." Noah Sarenren Bazee is on sick leave and is not available.

So much for the sportsman. The point or withdrawal of the license, which has been discussed in public, does not occupy the team. "I can not say if all the players really noticed that." The fact is that "this is not a problem in the cabin," says Breitenreiter.

"It would be too easy and too clumsy"

"The license is far from being in danger," said manager Horst Heldt, who also does not expect a points deduction. "I am guided by the statements my President gave me and he repeated to me today that our exchanges with the LDF were fruitful." Fearing that the disturbances will affect the transfers, the official does not say: "This will never be an alibi, it would be too easy and too clumsy."

To conclude, all is positive: in fact, nothing can deceive us against Hertha BSC, because Breitenreiter has won as a coach or any home game against Berlin. But be careful: "players" like Vedat Ibisevic and Salomon Kalou should never be ignored. "They developed their game in attack," warned Breitenreiter.

Increase needed

But the most important thing is to do a lot better than the game Gladbach: "It's not because we made only small mistakes, we also met many situations in which we did not lead and played the duels in a decisive way. " The Gladbacher they came too often in our last area. "
