Frankfurt / Main (dpa) – Under-20 coach Manuel Baum expects a certain level of uncertainty among the professionals in the upcoming games of the Bundesliga due to the unusual situation. “At the beginning there was a palpation almost everywhere, there was total uncertainty, nobody ever had to deal with such a situation,” said the 40-year-old coach of the “Augsburger Allgemeine” (Friday) about the restart of ghost games after the corona – Break last weekend. “We talk a lot about the lack of viewers, but the general conditions are also completely different. If the routines are no longer available, that makes us unsure.”
This was also seen in the 1-2 of his former club FC Augsburg with his new coach Heiko Herrlich against VfL Wolfsburg. In detail you can only see in the next few games what has changed under Herrlich compared to the predecessor Martin Schmidt, said Baum. “The first day of the game was more of an insecurity due to the corona. Everyone looked, how does it feel, what does it look like. Only after the third or fourth day will you see in which direction it will go.”
Baum had trained the Augsburg professional team until April 2019 and has been in charge of the U20 national team at the German Football Association since July 1 of last year.
