Fürth in crisis: defensive weakness brings team to the brink!
A nightmare for Greuther Fürth!
The season is only eleven match days old, but the alarm bells are already ringing in Fürth! With a whopping 22 goals conceded, only surpassed by Schalke, Braunschweig and Regensburg, the defense is a real shooting gallery. Particularly bitter: In the last three games, the Clover Leaves conceded an incredible 12 goals! Interim coach Leonhard Haas, 42, simply cannot find a way to get the shaky defense under control.

After the devastating 1:5 defeat against Darmstadt, the frustration at Haas was clearly noticeable. "We have to examine a lot with the coaching team. The statistics show that we simply give the opponent too many chances," said the coach. The xGa value (expected goals conceded) speaks volumes: 18th place in this statistic is anything but a success!
Defense in focus
In contrast to Haas' debut against Schalke, where the team won 4:3, the offensive against Darmstadt could not keep up. Fürth's interim sports director Stephan Fürstner, 37, emphasizes: "The focus on defense has to be there so that one or two goals are enough to ultimately score three points."
If nothing changes, the cloverleaf is threatened with relegation!
