Next game without a win
The supporters who had traveled with them insulted the TSG Hoffenheim pros and whistled at them after the 13th Bundesliga game without a win in a row. The team of Breitenreiter successor Pellegrino Matarazzo has thus set an internal negative record and is currently the weakest team in an international comparison of the top 5 European leagues behind the French first division club Angers SCO – with only 19 points after 23 games and 16th place in the table increases in the Kraichgau the fear of relegation.

Discuss TSG Hoffenheim in the forum nowThis way
“The fans wanted to give us their opinion, that’s absolutely justified. They demand 100% unconditional commitment,” said Hoffenheim midfielder Christoph Baumgartner on Saturday after the 0-1 (0-1) loss at FSV Mainz 05 something to it,” says the Austrian. Everyone must now know what is at stake: After the sixth league defeat in a row, sports director Alexander Rosen urgently appealed to the players to fight back after falling from fourth place after ten matchdays to the bottom of the table. “Anyone who now negates the situation and does not accept it is out of place,” he warned, adding: “We have to accept, reflect for ourselves, take responsibility and come out of the victim role.”

Hoffenheim coach Matarazzo: It’s a “matter of attitude”
Thomas Delaney put it more practically: “We’re in a bad downward spiral. We need a win for self-confidence.” Easier said than done. The new coach Matarazzo has not found out how this could succeed in the four defeats under his direction. “It always hurts that we have a few defeats,” said the 45-year-old, adding a slogan to persevere: “You have to process it and get up again.” Creating SC Freiburg was a bit of a mystery: “It could be profitable if you fundamentally change something. As far as the structure is concerned, how you put on the game.” This should give his protégés the feeling “that something is happening and that you have a new chance”.
Nsoki in second place: TSG Hoffenheim’s most expensive new signings
After Freiburg, Hertha BSC, Werder Bremen and FC Schalke 04 may have decisive games in the relegation battle before moving to Bayern Munich in mid-April (the rest of the program at a glance). Against Mainz, on the other hand, there was a lack of structure, clever play structure and, as a consequence, great chances. Nevertheless, Baumgartner is convinced: “We won’t be relegated.” It was particularly annoying for Matarazzo that the defeat was again caused by a negligent set piece. “It’s the third time in a row and it’s the same pattern,” he said. Defensive standards are about pure discipline, it’s a “matter of attitude”.
