St. Pauli surrendered to Mainz: Trainer and captain extremely disappointed!

After a disappointing 0: 3 at home against FSV Mainz 05, coach Alexander Blessin of FC St. Pauli commented and made it clear that despite the defeat, he did not want to speak of a step backwards. "The goals are a maximum of annoying and were gifts that we distributed," said Blessin about his team's clear mistakes.

damped expectations accompanied the team into the sixth matchday of the Bundesliga after having previously achieved a 0-0 against RB Leipzig and a 3-0 at SC Freiburg. Fans and players hoped for the first home win, but the disillusionment quickly came. The goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj and the defense chief Eric Smith contributed to the lead early on with blind false passes. Jonathan Burkhardt and Armindo Sieb ran through the defense as if by butter.

confrontation with reality

Blessin, who rejects the beautifully made side, dared to remind the fans and the media of their expectations. "We are in the Bundesliga. People in the Hamburg district think that Mainz is an easy -to -beat team. It is not that easy," he said. He was visibly annoyed by the demand for immediate successes, which he perceives as unrealistic. "In general we have to bring our maximum. If we do that, we can exist in this league," he said confidently.

Kapitan Jackson Irvine, also frustrated, described the entire performance of the team as "unacceptable" and demanded an apology to the fans who traveled with us. "We know that we can play better and we have to prove it," said Irvine after the game. This opinion is shared by Blessin, who has announced that these errors have to be parked in order to better cut off in future games.

The pressure on the trainer and his players will now rise, and the next games are crucial for the team's self -confidence and the mood among fans. However, Blessin is certain that with the right attitude the erroneous ideas can be cleared out of the league and the opponents.

"It remains to be seen how we get out of this situation. mistakes are part of the game, but we have to learn from it," said Blessin. He hopes that the team will develop the necessary toughness in order to be able to survive against stronger opponents. For St. Pauli it is now important to tackle the upcoming challenges with new courage and the right attitude.
