Jena. Schott Jena II wins over VfB Apolda 4-1. Meanwhile, Coach Kittner dances between praise and criticism.
For Schott’s coach Andreas Kittner it was the longed-for liberation after the ups and downs of the past few weeks. Despite the clear 4:1 win against the VfB Apolda There were still a few areas of construction that the Jena coach had a bit of trouble with: “The whole first half actually went very unevenly, we never calmed down the game, never put a lid on the game.” The Scottish team went through a double pack Carl Höhn (13th, 24th) took the lead and prevailed Cousins Hundack (57.) and Vincent Delinger (69.) after. Apolda only managed to score the next goal eight minutes before the end (82′).
Andreas Kittner was annoyed about the last ten minutes because his team simply acted poorly and could have conceded a second goal.
Kittner was not the only critic
But the coach wasn’t the only critic. He was also able to identify all sorts of positive things in his ranks against the kickers from the Bell City: the performance of his young players. “Lionel Ziegner It’s doing great at the back of the chain, Neven Hundack and Vincent Dellinger are revitalizing our offensive game with new ideas. The boys bring fresh blood and, above all, quality to the team – that’s extremely good for us.”
This quality will also be absolutely necessary in the next few weeks, in the away game Bad Lobenstein A difficult but doable task awaits his team, Kittner predicted and recalled the goal set for the winter break: “We want to break the 20-point mark. Then we are on target.”
Deciphered, that means with currently 15 points and six points still to be awarded: two wins.
