It would have been too good.
96 missed the big break against Werder, lost 4-1 and slipped into 15th place in the new year.
After two wins, interim coach Christoph Dabrowski (43) suffered his first bankruptcy. Start record gone – Reinhold Fanz last won his first three games in 1996.
Despite the 1: 4, Dabro, so far U23 coach, can hope for a boss contract. Before the game there had been no negotiations – neither with Dabro nor with anyone else. Now the poker begins. The team has positioned itself clearly.
Player demo for Dabro
BILD knows: After the game, the team council and leading players spoke out in favor of Dabrowski. They shared that with sports director Marcus Mann (37).
Goalscorer Sebastian Kerk at Sky: “It’s very, very fun with him. The last games spoke a clear language. “
Mike Frantz also praised the development under Dabro: “I think that we have made a significant step forward.”
However, the 1: 4 was a setback. After a decent first half, the Reds broke after the 1: 2 through Marvin Ducksch (51st) of all places and were hopelessly inferior to strong Bremer.
Dabrowski defended his troops: “I saw my team perform passionately again today. She threw everything in. No reproach to the boys. “
Werder is back in the promotion race. 96, on the other hand, is still deep in the relegation battle. The cellar duel in Rostock (January 14th) is very important.
With Dabro on the sidelines? The ex-professional was relaxed after his first defeat, congratulated daughter Emily on her birthday (“I love you”) and let it be known that he would like to stay: “I have now fully focused on the three games. I had a lot of fun. I have the feeling that there was a fit between me and the team. “
Everyone should take a deep breath at Christmas. “Now is the time to recharge your batteries and bundle your strengths,” says Dabro.
On December 29th, things will start again – with him on the pitch? Sports director Mann wants to answer the coach question by Wednesday at the latest: “We don’t want to drag it out unnecessarily …”
