Kiel – The 0:2 from Holstein Kiel Last Sunday against 1. FC Union Berlin was the Störche’s fifth defeat of the season Bundesliga. The penultimate place in the table is currently the result of this. It was clear to the newcomer that the only way to avoid relegation was from the start. The game against the capital city team showed this clearly.
Four times no point in your own living room
The people of Schleswig-Holstein don’t seem to be feeling so comfortable at home when you look at the bare results. Four of the five bankruptcies occurred in front of a home crowd. So far, the Holstein Stadium is not a fortress. The previous opponents there were VfL Wolfsburg (0:2), Bayern Munich (0:6) and before the Union game, Eintracht Frankfurt came and stole the three points with a 4:2 win. “Dahoam is Dahoam” does not yet apply to the KSV.
Rapp doesn’t want to know anything about a “home complex.”
Trainer Marcel Rapp said on Sunday about a possible “home complex”: “I don’t have to smile, but that’s what they always say when you’ve lost four times at home. But what should we do? So, we want to win the games. I think you’ll also see when you see the performance – if we draw today, no one will say it’s undeserved. From that perspective you have to evaluate the performance and then not talk about any complexes, but rather prepare for the next game and do it as well as possible.”
Things are going better away
Things went a little better away. After the 2-3 opening defeat in Hoffenheim, two 2-2 draws followed at VfL Bochum and champions Bayer Leverkusen. Now the Rapp team has even been challenged abroad twice. Next Saturday the storks will fly to VfB Stuttgart and the following Tuesday they will be guests at 1. FC Köln in the DFB Cup. You don’t have to go back to the Holstein Stadium until November 2nd. The guest will then be 1. FC Heidenheim.
