Will offensive talent stay with Beier?
After two wins and 5-0 goals from the games at FC St. Pauli and against Holstein Kiel, Hannover 96 have become sober again after the DFB Cup defeat against Leipzig and the most recent 3-1 defeat in Sandhausen. Managing director Martin Kind announced in the “Neue Presse” on Tuesday that planning for the new season would begin “now” and that the 77-year-old saw the ten expiring contracts in the Red squad as “an opportunity”.

“We will have to change the character of the team,” said Kind, who spoke of a “disaster in all parts of the team” with regard to the performance of Lower Saxony in Sandhausen. Due to the defeat, 96 had missed the opportunity to work their way back into the upper half of the table in the 2nd Bundesliga for the first time since the first matchday. Due to the victories of the direct competitors from Rostock and Düsseldorf, the lead over the relegation place remains at five points, and sports director Marcus Mann also spoke of a “chance left lying”: “We could have taken a big step again.” Schalke and Regensburg now have three difficult tasks waiting for Hannover.
TM community disappointed by commitment and body language at Hannover 96
Parts of the eleven of coach Christoph Dabrowski, who has had a balance of 20 points from 12 games (1.66 points on average) across all competitions since taking office at the end of last year, and at 96 has temporarily forgotten the worst fears of relegation, has been in parts of the supporters since For a long time, it was said that there was a lack of willingness to show the necessary combative virtues against supposedly less demanding opponents – like Sandhausen recently.
So Dabrowski is now at a loss in front of a team that is still overpaid in parts and still thinks it is not in the mood for a second division relegation battle. Pathetic performance. #svsh96

The attitude of the team was also recently critically questioned by some of the users in the TM forum: “Sandhausen was snappy and well attuned to the game. We completely missed body language and commitment,” attests, for example, user “Budda_1985”. In retrospect, “Rotoriker” describes the performance as “unacceptable”.
The manner was unacceptable, Dabrow will also note that.
Especially against Sandhausen you know what to expect. How the opponent performs, what you can’t afford, etc. I wonder what some players were thinking today or where their heads were.
That was unnecessarily uncertain and consequently 0 points.
Just play normally and we’ll win something like that. …
In the “more open” game against teams like Kiel or St. Pauli, however, 96 had made significant progress since Dabrowski took office. “It’s fun when Hannover tries to counter with the speed that they have with Maina and Beier and the audience then follows along. That radiates something,” praised RB coach Domenico Tedesco.

Child puts pressure on man: Hannover 96 should be ready for promotion in two years
As mentioned by Kind, the contracts of Marcel Franke, Niklas Hult, Dominik Kaiser, Linton Maina, Philipp Ochs, Mike Frantz, Marc Lamti and MarlonSINermann expire at the end of the season, plus the loan contracts of winter newcomer Mark Diemers and offensive talent Maximilian Beier . “It’s an opportunity,” says the 96 boss, with a view to the squad planning for the coming summer. While trying to keep the 19-year-old Beier on a leash with the means available (quote Mann: “Don’t get tired of emphasizing in Hoffenheim that we would like to keep him”), the decision on the other personal details is open : “Secure the 2nd league and then decide,” demands Kind.
An announcement that goes in the direction of the sports director. The 37-year-old is under pressure – as requested by Kind last week after the end of the cup – within the next “minimum two years from 96 to form a promotion team that is also competitive in the 1st league.”
