Captain Timo Becker demands calm - Holstein Kiel fights against crises!

Kiel, Deutschland - After the devastating 0: 3 debacle against 1. FC Köln in the DFB Cup, captain Timo Becker reacts with unexpected optimism. Despite the misery in which Holstein Kiel is located, he didn't want to let his head hanging. "It just feels like a low point, but it is still not a low point," emphasized Becker and warned to rest. The Bundesliga newcomer has no victory after eight match days and is in a dangerous penultimate place in the table.

Impressive is Becker's unshakable spirit: "It is no longer interested in what was in the cup," he said. Instead of bowing to the pressure to perform, Becker puts his hope for the next game against 1. FC Heidenheim. "Now it's about making away the whole shitty mood that we have." A clear call to the team to pull themselves together and change the switch.

"We are a very small club"

The 27-year-old clearly clarifies that the reality of the association must not be forgotten. "We are a very small club. It's not an excuse, that's a fact," said Becker. This could be a reason why Kiel often falls behind in the financially hard Bundesliga. Weyler sees himself in this critical phase towards a strong opponent in Cologne who is in a crisis, but has appeared much more effectively.
