Mannheim (dpa/lsw) - Despite the elimination in the Baden Association Cup and the subsequent 0: 5 at VfL Osnabrück in the 3rd football league, President Bernd Beetz of SV Waldhof Mannheim is strengthening, according to a media report, coach Christian Neidhart and sports director Tim Schork. "We didn't decide in vain, but after careful consideration," said the club boss on Monday to "Mannheimer Morgen".
Instead, Beetz sees the players as having an obligation to deliver. "Everyone must now be aware of what it means to play for SV Waldhof. Namely, to give it your all from the first to the last second and tear yourself up for our blue and black colors. Our fans want to see that and we expect that also from every single player," said the 72-year-old.
The Mannheim team started the season with great ambitions. In the league they have already suffered a tough defeat against SV Meppen (2:6). In the state cup last Tuesday, the Waldhof surprisingly lost to the regional league team FC-Astoria Walldorf (1:2).
