On Sunday, MSV Duisburg wants to leave the relegation ranks in the 3rd division with a win at SC Freiburg II in the best case. Coach Hagen Schmidt is confident.
Has seven games Hagen Schmidt previously completed as the responsible MSV trainer. Two mandatory victories in the Lower Rhine Cup, a three and a draw in the league are on the credit side. In addition, the Duisburg lost three times under Schmidt in league three. The 51-year-old football teacher cannot be satisfied.
Schmidt also emphasized this at the press conference before the performance (Sunday, 1 pm) at the newly promoted SC Freiburg II. “I didn’t imagine the task at MSV to be easier. But of course I can’t be satisfied. We have too few points on the for that Account, “says Schmidt. But he also adds: “We are still on the right track. The guys have a different readiness, especially when it comes to intensity. We just need this breast remover now. I hope that we can do it in Freiburg.”
Under Schmidt, the MSV does not play bad football. However, there is a lack of consistency in performance over the full season. That is what the trainer made out. “We have to be more concentrated and focused throughout the game,” he insists.
I disagree with Aziz. But he didn’t put anyone against the wall, so it’s not dramatic for me either. It also shows that the team is alive. We have to get out of there as a whole.

Most recently, after the 2: 3 against Mannheim, had strikers Aziz Bouhaddouz Criticized the quality and mentality of the management. “It’s the same shit week after week. I’m getting sick of it. It’s very bitter. You just can’t compete like that. Now you can accuse us of everything, from mentality to quality. It was that bad for me in one.” I’ve never played a game. That really excited me, “said Bouhaddouz, expressing his frustration.
Coach Schmidt spoke to his protégé about the Moroccan’s words. “I disagree with Aziz. But he didn’t put anyone against the wall, so it’s not dramatic for me. It also shows that the team is alive. We have to come out as a whole,” emphasized the former Mönchengladbacher.
In addition to long-term injuries Roman Schabbing, Dominic Volkmer, Chinedu Ekene and Rudolf Ndualu, the MSV will most likely have to do without youngster Julian Hettwer (cold) in Breisgau. “That will be tight,” reveals Schmidt. Meanwhile, midfielder Kolja Pusch is fully training again with us and will be available in Freiburg.
