Atlas Delmenhorst breaks negative series: victory in Hildesheim cheers fans!

Hildesheim, Deutschland - The SV Atlas Delmenhorst finally has a reason to celebrate! After an impressive negative series in Hildesheim, where the team only had to take defeats in six away games, the first victory was won on Sunday (1-0). The atmosphere in the team bus was high at a historical high when the blue-yellow started the return trip. This marks a dramatic turning point for the team, which stuck deep in the table basin two weeks ago.

The sudden upswing is particularly thanks to coach Key Riebau, who has returned to the sidelines after Dominik Schmidt has been released. Under Riebau, the team won three victories in just eight days. Sports board member Bastian Fuhrken describes the mood as freed, which is often the case after changing coaches. The team seems to feel the new drive that they urgently needed to regain confidence. The first victories against Lupo Martini Wolfsburg (3-1) and the U23 of Eintracht Braunschweig brought the kicker back on course.

Strategy change brings fresh wind

The system change from Riebau to a 4-4-2 with diamond has revolutionized the style of the Delmenhorster. The focus is now on the center instead of the wings, which makes the team appear more compact. Riebau also brings his scout Benjamin Rabe, who developed a suitable system together with fuels. The experienced Josip Tomic, who contributes to success with his game intelligence and experience, takes on the role of the defensive midfielder.

The impressive record of Riebau in the Oberliga Lower Saxony is another reason to be happy: With 18 wins from 23 games, he once led the team to the regional league climb. Now, with the return of Riebau, the Delmenhorster seems on the right track again, even if they are still in the relegation battle. Fuhken emphasizes that despite the positive development, the necessary concentration is still required for the upcoming games.
