1. FC Heidenheim coach: Schmidt “needs to talk” and wants changes

Four defeats in a row

The frustration of Bundesliga promoted team 1. FC Heidenheim after their fourth competitive defeat in a row is great. After the 1:3 (0:3) on Tuesday in the second round of the DFB Cup at Borussia Mönchengladbach, coach Frank Schmidt announced changes for the important Württemberg derby on Sunday against VfB Stuttgart. “We need to talk. It can not go on like this. We have to change a few things,” said Schmidt after his team’s weak performance.

“I can only apologize for the first half. Not for the performance, but for the non-performance,” Schmidt continued to complain. His team was already 2-0 down after just ten minutes and 3-0 at the break. Adrian Beck’s 1:3 (78th minute) was the guests’ only chance to score in the entire game.

“At the moment we are just showing a very, very weak face with no self-confidence,” said captain Patrick Mainka. “Talking doesn’t help anymore. We now simply have to show that we are capable of learning. That’s not how we develop.” When it comes to squad value, FCH is in 17th place in the Bundesliga with 39.6 million euros, just ahead of fellow promoted team SV Darmstadt 98. Despite the negative series, Heidenheim is currently in a reasonable 13th place. In the summer, the newcomer to the upper house invested 2.3 million euros in new additions – this was offset by no income for sales.
