Fourth defeat in a row

The analysis of the bankruptcy against the previously pointless table was much more difficult than usual. The fact that a spectator in the fan area of 1. FC Heidenheim fell from the fence into the interior, seriously crashed and was transported from the stadium by helicopter was a shock. He got “goosebumps”, said FC Augsburg coach. To switch to sporty – shortly after the 1: 2 of the FCA almost impossible.
Wagner has to deal with the crisis. With the next defeat and the terrifyingly weak appearance, the newcomer to the coach with the Fuggerstädters slipped even deeper into the negative whirlpool.
Four flaps one after the other after five game days-the balance sheet leads to how much you have to worry about FC Augsburg instead of a Wagner euphoria. The pressure increases against VfL Wolfsburg before the task on Saturday. “With such a performance, you will not win the next 30 games,” complained central defender Keven Schlotterbeck at “Sky”.
There is still no major debate about the 37 -year -old Wagner. He feels the club’s trust, the former assistant confirmed by national coach Julian Nagelsmann. “But that’s not what I’m not about. I just feel like being a football coach and is in the mood to be coaches from the FCA. Hopefully everything else will come into points in the next few weeks.”
The disappointing idea of his team made anything but desire for football. His eleven had probably made up too much and therefore “partially inhibited”, Wagner tried an explanation. “Mainz gave us a bit of a crack,” admitted the former striker.
Augsburg coach Wagner convinced of his players to “1000 percent”
After the violent 1: 4 against Mainz, the Augsburgers had hoped for the trend reversal at the previously pointless 1. FC Heidenheim. With the basic virtues and simple football, Wagner’s eleven should find the lightness again – and win. But the guests on the offensive were too harmful to the offensive, and were too susceptible to errors on the defensive. The Heidenheimers looked more bite.
There can be no question of a spirit of optimism in view of the third last place. Wagner has no doubt about his professionals. In general, he is “1000 percent” convinced of his players. “We have a great team.” The relegation candidate FCH, however, revealed the weaknesses with the goals of Mikkel Kaufmann (47th minute) and Sirlord Conteh (54.) and achieved the first win of the season. The FCA only shortened in added time when Phillip Tietz met (90.+8).
FC Augsburg’s Schlotterbeck: would never “scold” about Wagner
For Schlotterbeck there is no reason to shake the coach. “We don’t need to discuss anything here. He gives everything, try to hire us as best as possible. I would never scold him,” said the 28-year-old.
Will he not be scared and worried in view of the appearance? “No, we don’t need to put our heads in the sand,” said Schlotterbeck, but took the team duty: “Everyone has to question whether they have thrown everything in.”
