TSG Hoffenheim: Herber Damper for Bruun Larsen

So far everything was going according to plan. Jacob Bruun Larsen had settled in his second attempt at the TSG Hoffenheim right in the starting elf and even hit in the first two season games. For the reward, the 22-year-old was allowed to go back to the Danish national team in the international team, in the World Cup qualifier in the Faroe Islands, coach Kasper Hjulmand even totled his second international game for his country.

But on Saturday, the upswing Bruun Larsens learned a severe damper. Against Mainz stayed offensively pale on the wing sprayer, only a single degree was recorded as he had entered the right side in the Mainz penalty area over the right side - in the Mainz penalty area, nor a opponent dot and closed with his weaker left foot. The ball landed at the external network.

My ball loss before the 0: 1 is of course totally annoying

In contrast, Bruun Larsen made a momentous mistake in the starting game. In one-half, he tried to escape the pressing of the opponent and played a highly risky pass without visual contact into the center. A found eating of lurking guests, which switched lightning speed via Dominik Kohr, switched a few seconds later Jonathan Burkardt to 0: 1.

We played a bad first half. We collect the first goal exactly as we can not get it, coaches Hoeneß rightly, if you are at the back of Mainz, it becomes extremely unpleasant. That may also have become for Bruun Larsen for his Patzer. My ball loss before the 0: 1 is of course totally annoying, the Dane showed the same in terms, it was not a good day for us, we have to do many things better. We take it out of the game. Mainz does not take us Easy, but we have made it difficult for ourselves. We have to analyze that. We have won too few second balls. Unfortunately we did not put our tactics on the court. We have to learn from the game. Especially he himself.
