Tigers under pressure: Trainer Weber raises the alarm after a bitter bankruptcy!

A disaster for the TG Neuss Tiger! After a catastrophic 39:62 defeat against VfL Bochum, coach Björn Weber sees the team in a terrifying state. "We are not a team," he says, and hits the nail on the head. The shocking appearance of the Tigers, who were already back in the first half in the first half, does not allow excuses, even the injured Marija Ilic cannot serve as a reason for this bloodless performance.

The guests from Bochum mercilessly took advantage of the weaknesses of the Neussers and expanded their lead to 30 points in the final quarter. While Aisha Traore represents a bright spot in the dark of the defeat with 16 points and 16 rebounds, the rest of the team remains pale and uninspired. Johanna Huppertz in particular, who only made her debut in the 1st division on Friday, is completely next to the trail. Weber is frustrated: "We know that the team can do it better. But at the moment we have to start again."

urgent need for action

Now the Tigers are facing a two-week forced break in which they have to prepare intensively. On November 16, Bielefeld will be in front of a home crowd, and the players have to get up to show the fans a better performance. Time is pushing and the worries about the team chemistry are tangible. Can the Tigers create the turning point, or threaten another setback?
