Interested in Würzburg. - Stendel's promotion proposal
Five years ago, Daniel Stendel (50) guided FC Barnsley to the second level of English football. Today, he aims to attain a third league promotion with Hannover 96 at the Heinz von Heiden Arena.
Following a 0:1 loss in Würzburg, Stendel's U23 team must secure victory in the relegation match. If the score remains level (1:0, 2:1, 3:2, etc.), it'll proceed to extra time and potentially a penalty shootout. The match commences at 13:30, and Hannover 96 anticipates 25,000 viewers.
Stendel's Promotion Strategy with Hannover 96!
More goal opportunities! "We aim to be considerably more dominant upfront," states the head coach. Christopher Scott (21), who has recovered from a thigh injury, should play like he did during the second half in Würzburg. Stendel anticipates strong support from the crowd, emphasizing, "That's what propels the final push, the last stride, meaning: victory or no victory, goal or no goal."
More resolve! Stendel managed to motivate his players after a distressing first half in Würzburg, who became apprehensive about failure. "I told the boys to smile again. Football is merely a game, and we excel at it to a large extent." Confidence increased, and further motivation is anticipated on Sunday. "On Sunday, we progress one more step. We know our strengths."
More decisiveness! In Würzburg, Stendel's team lacked efficiency, allowing Würzburg striker Saliou Sané to reach a penalty shot through a foul by Eric Uhlmann. Ivan Franjic took advantage of this opportunity, sealing the victory. The Hannover 96 forwards need to be more direct and fearless. Stendel laments, "We had a few circumstances in the second half where we could have taken a free kick, but we chose not to challenge the opponents."
More support! Würzburg's young squad initially confronted challenges from the stadium's audience (10,600 spectators, with 700 hailing from Hannover). Home-field advantage could provide a sizeable advantage. "I predict significant reinforcement from the stands," remarks Stendel. "With our home advantage, we possess a fair chance of emerging victorious."
