Hanover 96: Hanover captain Franke: “We have been beaten” – 2nd Bundesliga
Only 14 points in 15 games under Jan Zimmermann, now two wins with Christoph Dabrowski. Captain Marcel Franke (28) talks about the coach change, the goal crisis and the duel with buddy Ducksch.
Marcel Franke about:
►Siege. “The siege give confidence. The Ingolstadt game in particular, we have already seen signs of it, and we have taken a few steps forward. But we shouldn’t stop now either. That can give a tailwind, even against Bremen. But we all know that we still have some work to do. There is still room for improvement. “
►The Werder attack. “That is of course a very good storm. Of course, it’s also fun to play against such strikers. “
►His buddy Marvin Ducksch. “Duckschi is a special player, so a free spirit. You don’t see him for a few minutes and then he creates a scoring chance out of nowhere. That we are not that easy. But tease him a little, it’ll be a nice duel. He has a good instinct for getting rid of the opponent. He doesn’t like the direct duels so much, tries to get into the open spaces. As a defender, you have to try to stay tuned so that you can grab him – and take away a bit of the fun. “

► The coach change at 96. “Talking about the past is not my thing. I think we should look to the future. We should focus on what we are doing now. It’s not like we lost because Jan Zimmermann was on the sidelines. We have to get away from that. It is never an individual’s fault if it doesn’t go well. We are dying, dying in the square. We also played a big part in the coaching change. Unfortunately, we didn’t get it right in many games. But now I’m happy with how the last two weeks went. The most important thing is the results that we have achieved in the last two games and a bit of a gap downwards. “
►The Dabrowski future. “We’ve got six points from two games with him. In any case, that meant that it was a lot of fun and that we had confidence and a good atmosphere in the team. Everything else is a decision that I don’t make, but Marcus Mann and Martin Kind. We cannot influence that as a team. “
►Striker Lukas Hinterseer. “Luki is not one that I have to mother all the time. He’s a boy who has confidence and who has done well at times. He is extremely committed to the service of the team. I think that we still rarely bring him into the situation. He doesn’t have ten chances in every game and has to score ten goals from it. We don’t play enough balls in the penalty area. At some point the knot will burst and things will fly in. “
►The first half of the season. “It is clear that we have to score more points than in the first half of the season. We got a real beating against Rostock, Dresden or Darmstadt. So what just can’t happen anymore. We’ll lose games in the second half of the season too, but those have to be close defeats, so we still have to be in the game. That is the most important thing for me. “
►The second half of the season. “Everyone has to go a step further. I don’t know who is in the dressing room now and who is super satisfied with their own performance in the first half of the season. That will also be the goal. “
