Sounds Like Riverside

two games remaining

The fans of Hannover 96 in the past had much time to go through. In the office, at university or in everyday life seems to the sufferer and Abstiegskampferproptem trailer with the banal statement: "Well, already lost again? "has all kinds of humiliation. If you thought that after the defeat against VfB Stuttgart it could not get any worse, seeing himself taught in the last few games better. It was against the desolate vision (1:4) . carnival club from the Rhine, the game was over after just half an hour, 0-3 it was because from the perspective of the "Red" stood at the time a player his big appearance had not had.. Hanno Balitsch after a hand-held game . considered a yellow card, he made himself a blackout for a foul on Maniche, and could soon go to the shower, the challenge of Balitsch was symptomatic of the team in this game: phlegmatic, unimaginative, alibi football, those were the more harmless words you got to hear in the block.




It was the away game at the big brother on the Elbe. And what was the matter? There are signs and wonders happened, Hanover is 96 yes but still, if they want. Coach Slomka was something of a rebirth succeeded. Although anything went forward, but backwards. As the destroyers were the Reds at their best. HSV was nothing in front, for an ambitious club, the performance was clearly not enough. Even here, showed that his team coach Labbadia had not been reached. 96 In any event had on this match again saw light at the end of the tunnel. Remaining in the first division again seemed realistic. Even in the face of a good start to the week of truth, where 96 had to play the next three games against Schalke, Bayern and Leverkusen. 96 and tip the scales in the battle for the championship, a nice side note in this disaster season.

And it went off too well: the draw against Hamburg was a victory against the "miners". The Reds had caught a Sahnetag. Storm tank led by Didier Ya Konan, with two goals, "Man of the Match". The win over Schalke seemed to unleash new energy and strength from the recent games against Bayern, to give Leverkusen and Bochum Gladbach. The belief in their own strength had returned, the team, the environment, thought he could move against the big Bayern something. Finally, after the team's interim compensation against Schalke was not broken up, but morale had shown.

But a week later, all hope was zerpufft suddenly, almost from one moment to another. We wondered, is it still the team that Schalke had cleared? 96 found no remedy against the likes of Robben, Lahm or Olic tackling issues. It is significant that could try during a game three defenders in succession because the circles of the best Player in the league, Arjen Robben frameworks. Schulz gave up after half an hour with yellow, red and risk Djakpa noise and is familiar with their youth no charge. The Bayern game was: the team is as unpredictable as government bonds for Greece. And the game against the Werkself from Leverkusen confirmed this impression.

What remains two games to end? 1996 is on the table next to last place before descended with near certainty Hertha a point away from the relegation place, but also from the safety of 15th Table space. 27 points, the "Reds", in the end it could be 33 points, belonging to the first league in the next season would mean. This has to win 96 against Gladbach, and especially against the strongest rivals Bochum. It clings to any straw and must also serve the first season (again), as Jiri Stajner secured on the penultimate day with his last minute goal against Gladbach class membership. One might call him: Do it again, Jiri. He would sit down once a monument would be Jiri Hannover City. But not a bad option, right?
