Jahn Regensburg on the abyss: just one goal in nine games!

In the Jahnstadion, the mood was tense when the Regensburg attacker Noah Ganaus was about to achieve the long -awaited compensation. After 70 minutes of play, he ran towards the opposing goal alone, but aimed at the goalkeeper Florian Kastenmeier of Fortuna Düsseldorf. The cheers were quickly steamed once again because the shot did not count due to offside. This missed gate is symptomatic of the current misery of SSV Jahn Regensburg in the second Bundesliga.

In the season so far, the team failed to conquer the opposing team in goal. With just one goal from nine games, the Jahn sets up a new negative record in the German lower house. You have to accept a proud 22 goals, which speaks not only for the offensive performance, but also for the defense against the Upper Palatinate. After a defeat against Düsseldorf with a final score of 0: 3, Regensburg remains in the last place in the table.

the balance sheet and reactions

head coach Joe Enochs commented on the game and described the Situation as "brutal". Even if he praised his team that they had made some progress, the result was sobering. They were only close to the equalization for a short time, but the team could not take advantage of the chances and was ultimately not rewarded for their efforts. In the end, two game situations, which ended in dismissal, led Düsseldorf to score two goals that rounded off the defeat.

In Regensburg there is hope that "the knot will soon burst," said goalkeeper Felix Gebhardt. The start of the season, characterized by an unfortunate course of the game and inadequate exploitation of opportunities, means that the team is under great pressure to improve their achievements. Gebhardt and his teammates Louis Breunig and Eric Hottmann state that they work hard in training every week, but have so far hardly been successful on the pitch.

The Regensburgs are in a precarity that is also reinforced by the occupation of the striker positions. Dominik Kother, the only scorer of the season so far, was sitting on the bench against Düsseldorf and could not help. Nevertheless, Hottmann, who received his first start-up setting in this game, is optimistic, although his efforts were still insufficient for effective scoring.

The next challenge is about to be done on Friday when Jahn has to compete at the 1st FC Nürnberg. Nuremberg comes with a strong shape after you last won 4: 0. Enochs encouraged his players to stay positive and believe in their potential. Sports director Achim Beierlorz rejected any coaching discussion and appealed to the team to tackle the next games together, which is of enormous importance under the current circumstances.

The pressure on the team and in particular on the offensive players grows, since the previously weak goal quota not only ensures frustration, but is also relevant for the future of the trainer and the entire club. The pressure to help the Jahn is viewed by the players as a joint task, and it remains to be seen whether they can finally create the hoped -for turnaround next Friday.
