David Nemeth: Held of the game despite the bitter defeat for St. Pauli!

A dramatic football game ended for FC St. Pauli with a painful 0-2 defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach! The Hamburgers remain on relegation place 16 and urgently need to work on their coordination. A bright spot was 23-year-old David Nemeth, who in his first Bundesliga mission for FC St. Pauli performed an impressive rescue act when he defended an almost safe goal from Alassane Plea at the last second. The 5,300 fans traveled with them celebrated him for it, but the joy could not alleviate the defeat.

The problems in the defense of FC St. Pauli were obvious. Nemeth himself admitted that he had to improve his positioning. "I have to solve that better," he confessed after the game. Eric Smith and Hauke ​​Wahl, too, could not stabilize the defense, which led to the two goals conceded. The early 0: 1 after a corner kick was particularly painful when Manoli's Saliaca's Plea lost sight of. Coach Alexander Blessin was visibly upset: "We have pointed out this before, but are not awake enough."

A bitter evening for FC St. Pauli

for the Hamburgers it was a bitter evening, especially for Nemeth, who finally wanted to prove himself after a long break. Blessin had appointed him to the starting eleven for the injured Karol Mets, but the lack of coordination and communication on the defensive made it easy for the Gladbachers. "We offered too many rooms," admitted Nemeth. The Borussia, on the other hand, was well recorded and disciplined what helped them ward off the Hamburg attacks.

The question remains whether Nemeth will also be in the starting eleven in the next game against Holstein Kiel. Should Mets not get fit until then, the Hamburgers have little time to fix their defensive problems. A victory in the upcoming north Derby could bring urgently needed points and maybe even a turn in the season!
