Torsten Lieberknecht chooses a curious club vacation comparison for promoted SV Darmstadt 98’s time in the Bundesliga. There is also criticism behind this.
In an interview with the streaming service “DAZN” after the 1:3 (1:2) defeat at VfB Stuttgart, the 50-year-old said: “For 25, 30 years, the same faces always go to the Robinson Club or I have no idea which club , and then a new guest comes along and then we see how they behave, what they wear.”
Lieberknecht described the video referee in Cologne as a “bartender who also has an opinion and says: “You, be careful, the new guests are not what we imagine them to be”.”
Darmstadt coach on club vacation comparison: “We have to find our way around”
For his team it is now a matter of finding new courage and giving up respect as quickly as possible. “We first have to learn to find our way around,” says Lieberknecht.
As a new guest you are looked at from all sides.
“There are the club bosses, there are the people who judge on and off the pitch and then there are those who say, pay a little attention. We have to keep an eye on that and we also keep an eye on that “We’ll choose a new club accordingly,” said the coach, who will face SV Werder Bremen with his team next Sunday.
