Crisis at the FCH: coach Schmidt demands passion before derby against Stuttgart!

A dramatic crisis at 1. FC Heidenheim! After a catastrophic 1: 3 defeat in the Conference League against Basaksehir FK, coach Frank Schmidt is massive in the line of fire. After the game, he was already suppressed and emphasized that the team had been "demonstrated". Schmidt, who had to accept the sixth defeat in a row with his team, showed that the performance of the players is simply unacceptable. "What we have planned does not work. We have not approached our minimum performance," said the 50-year-old. Heidenheim catapults this descent to the relegation place and leaves the fans behind frustrated. The situation strikes the mind: veteran Norman Theuerkauf expresses it drastically: "We are pissed off!"

The challenge before the next game

On Sunday, VfB Stuttgart is waiting for a real chunk in the Voith Arena. Schmidt sees this as the last chance to change the switch and bring the passion back to the team. "We can't go on like this. This is not a prerequisite for successfully playing football," the coach stated. The FCH has only won one victory from the last ten games, the defensive looks unstable, and the offensive power is completely missing. But Schmidt remains optimistic and believes in a performance breakthrough against Stuttgart, even if VfB only celebrated one away win. "The audience shouldn't give us up," he appeals to the fans who should continue to stand behind the team.

The pressure on Schmidt is growing, and a discussion about his future could soon shy away. The trainer made it clear that it is up to the players to face this criticism and roll up the sleeves. "We now have to swallow the criticism and be self -critical enough," he asks for self -reflection. It remains to be seen whether the team can withstand this pressure. It is a crucial phase for the 1. FC Heidenheim, and on Sunday it will be shown whether the turnaround is better or the evil gets worse.
