Mainz 05: Sensation on the way to the Champions League!

Mainz, Deutschland - Mainz 05 causes a sensation in the Bundesliga! The team goes into the Christmas holidays with an incredible football year and now has a sensational 25 points after winning Frankfurt. The last five out of six games were won, with a small drop of bitterness due to the narrow defeat against Wolfsburg (3: 4). Christian Heidel, the sports director, is extremely satisfied: "We didn't have many better seasons with the points. This is very extraordinary for Mainz 05," said Heidel. The successes are primarily to be owed to coach Bo Henriksen, who can get out of the team more than you could have expected.

After the hard years, in which Mainz partly fought with meager points in the relegation regions, the Rheinhessen experience a remarkable turn. Heidel explains that ongoing success is based on the strong relegation battle last season, which has strengthened the team mentally. The new tactical discipline and "never give up" setting now pay off-a remarkable change that inspires the fans and heats up hopes for the Champions League participation. "If we have such a run, I don't mind if we are called a surprise team," adds Heidel.
