It was early August, the SV Darmstadt 98 after two defeats in the league just in the cup excreted against third division 1860 Munich. Since Tor keeper Marcel shoes prophesied in its inimitable way: You will see: we will pull so much energy out of the shit. That looked like the whistle in the forest. After all, there was not really much of what gave for optimism at this time. Around three and a half months later, the lilies are at the top of the 2nd league.
Goa lover duo without competition
If you ask the players for this development after the reasons, the term team spirit is always falling. After the 4-0 over the FC St. Pauli, double goalkeeper Luca Pfeiffer was very happy about the hits of Braydon Many. With his assault colleague Phillip Dietz, Pfeiffer changes to the goal shooting anyway. No competition, how both emphasize. With eleven hits each are both in the top group of the scorer list. With 35 goals, the lilies are currently by far the goal-threatening team of the league.
But Pfeiffer does not forget to praise the Beckman, where, for example, in the central defense Patrick Pfeiffer (22) and Thomas Isherwood (23) for weeks make an excellent job. With the two young boys in the Defense Center, the lilies left in the last six games — including high-cowl like St. Pauli, Bremen, Schalke and Nuremberg — just four goals. Defensive safe, offensive efficient — or how it says Pfeiffer says: The players behind can rely on the players at the front and vice versa.
What coach calls favorite
Crucial for the good team spirit is coach Torsten Lieberknecht, as all parties say again and again. The 48-year-old meets the right sound in the team, treats all from the regular player to the reserve with much appreciation and thus ensures unity. Although he is very emotional himself, he repeatedly emphasizes how important he is seriousness in the place.

For example, against St. Pauli, his team played the game in the second half with the 4-0 lead in the back extremely reputable. Routine Tobias Tempe raised the coach especially because of his extreme seriousness. At the same time, he moved to Kempis role on the double sect next to Klaus Grassley, where he was not a pity for dirt work and thus a model just for the young players in the defensive excretion. And Isherwood also shot the ball almost from the end of clarifying very serious almost out of the stadium.
I have incredibly desired for every home game.
Luca Pfeiffer
If players become dubious, Lieberknecht takes them to the side — as Dietz at 6: 1 in Tannhauser. Since the attacker had tried after a double pack to displace the coach to start conjuring and a few occasions lacquered lightly. During replacement, he said Dietz: You do not need that, stay serious and game through. And the reaction? He thanked for the assessment, said Lieberknecht.
A surprise package that forgets from time to time, to keep the side
But despite all the demanded seriousness, Darmstadt plays everything but drugs football. There is also space for unconventional approaches. Best example: Braydon Many. The Surprising Package (O-Ton Many) made in recent games for powerful confusion in the opposing defensive. Against St. Pauli, the wing player like a Dervish (O-Ton Lieberknecht) be whirled over the square — often in disregard of the tactical specifications. That's just the Braydon. He forgets and then to keep the side, said the coach mildly smiling. On the other hand, he knew the viewers and his teammates. He brings with an incredible heart. Sometimes it is not what the coach does. But sometimes it helps.
Anyway, the native Palmer love boss comes well on southern Hesse with his down-to-earth nature and his enthusiasm — speakers with the name of the trainer were no longer heard at the Böllenfalltor for years. The fact that the past games were 13,000 spectators on the sold-out stadium construction site gave the team extra momentum. At the moment it simply makes extremely fun — especially at home, Luca Pfeiffer swarmed. I'm incomprehensibly desire for every home game. This is also reflected in numbers: After the opening defeat against Regensburg, the 98s at the Böllenfalltor brought six wins with a goal ratio of 20: 1.
Weizmann's work
One may definitely not be missing when it comes to the current altitude flight: the sporty director Carsten Riemann. In the summer, after the sudden departure of Markus start (Welder Bremen), he fetched his successor, also had to compensate for the departures of Goal Scorer Serial Pursue (Fenerbahçe) and Defensive Leader Victor Pals son (Schalke 04), which more than achieved. Anyway, the current squad is a work of Wetlands and his team. Except for Fabian Holland, Tobias Tempe and Marvin Flour, all players were obliged under his aegis. And in the three mentioned, he was largely involved in the contract extensions.
The native Hamburg came from Holstein Kiel to SV Darmstadt 98 in the fall of 2018 and has been a sporting director since the beginning of 2019. After he did not always have a slight stood in the environment, now former critics now see his merits. Characteristic of this: At the General Assembly at the end of October, a club member even publicly apologized to Weizmann that he had criticized him on the Internet.
