Before the final spurt in the first half of the season, with games at SC Freiburg II on December 5 (1:00 p.m.) and against SC Verl on December 11 (2:00 p.m.), he chose pithy words: “Anyone who thinks we’re dead will do it wonder in the next few weeks. ” The 51-year-old former junior coach from Borussia Mönchengladbach has been head coach at MSV since October 18th. The successor to Pavel Dotchev was unable to stop the traditional club’s decline. In the five league games under his direction, the Duisburg team only got four points.
At the next match in Breisgau, Schmidt sees his team again under pressure. “We’ll have a real chunk in front of our chests in Freiburg. Accordingly, the pressure will be there, but I have to deal with it, ”said the coach. He is convinced that the MSV will succeed in turning things around: “It’s still early in the season, we’re going to knock over the buck. We are alive and we will stay alive. “
