The 1. FC Kaiserslautern caused a surprise on Tuesday evening with the rejection of Markus Begin. Although at least the rank of relegation is always at hand, the 50 -year -old had to go for the place for the former coach of Darmstadt, Torsten Lieberknecht. Managing Director Thomas Hengen founded this decision on Wednesday at « Sky » on Wednesday.
« We have not done any development in recent weeks. The trend was not the way we have all imagined it. The non-explosion of the team was questionable, » said the 50-year-old man. More recently, the FCK had lost three games in a row and won only one of the last six. Above all, more playful was hoped.
« You should never be guided directly from emotions. You have to let everything flow immediately after the match. We were in the analysis on Sunday and Monday and discussed one or the other subject and passed the way we manage the current situation. In the end, the decision was there, we still want to do something new and bring the team in a situation that attacks again, » said Hengen.
Although Kaiserslautern has not entered the season with the goal, the claims increased. With a squad value of 34.3 million euros, the FCK currently has the most worthy team in sixth in the 2nd league, at the start of the season, it was still 18.7 million euros, which corresponded to eleven. On the one hand, the increase can be explained with the development of players such as Ragnar Acute (from 3 million euros to 7 million euros) or Luca Sirch (from 250,000 to 1.8 million euros), which is responsible for the start. On the other hand, the transfers were also added to Tim Breithaupt (23), to Maximilian Bauer (25) or to Faride Alidou (23) in winter – the effect hoped that the last is extinguished.
The PS present in the team should now bring Lieberknecht, the 2012/13 Eintracht Braunschweig at La Bundesliga. « We have gone through many profiles and in the global constellation, Torsten Lieberknecht was very far forward to say that this fits perfectly into the region, this corresponds perfectly to the ambitions and in the next four weeks, it is important to focus fully, a complete passion, a full gas in advance. Here, but also longer. »
