Hoffenheim before abyss: Does a change of management have to be changed now?

tsg 1899 Hoffenheim is in a critical situation and is looking for a leading player for the relegation battle. Coach Christian Ilzer expressed the wish to carry out a transfer with leadership qualities, while the team had to take another defeat last weekend. Hoffenheim lost 0-1 against VfL Wolfsburg and, after eight competitive games, is in the 15th place in the Bundesliga. The situation for Hoffenheim is alarming with just one point ahead of the relegation rank, which the 1. FC Heidenheim occupies.

The offensive is weak this season, since the TSG only scored three goals in the last eight games. In particular, the new offensive players Gift Orban and Erencan Yardimci have not yet been able to score. Despite the tense situation, sports manager Andreas Schicker shows confidence in the team. The next games, including a meeting with FC Bayern Munich (leaders) and a duel with Holstein Kiel (penultimate), are considered very important and challenging. Defender Kevin Akpoguma emphasizes the high relevance of these encounters.

In addition, it is reported that the winter break brings changes to the relegation candidates in the Bundesliga. Six teams are on Saturday, while the DFB sports court made a judgment on the evaluation of the game between 1. FC Union Berlin and VfL Bochum. The points go to Bochum, which remains the bottom of the table with now 8 points and has missed close to the non-relegation places.

Union Berlin leads the group of seven endangered teams with 16 points and has the opportunity to make an appointment against the judgment within a week. On the last match day before the winter break, Bochum celebrated a first win of the season against the 1st FC Heidenheim. Heidenheim itself is on the relegation rank with 10 points and recently increased with Budu ZivziVadze from Karlsruher Sc.

Hoffenheim will be investing in the Gift Orban from Olympique Lyon in the next few weeks, which should be at least 9 million euros. There is currently a great concern to make tremendous progress in the coming games under coach Christian Ilzer.
