SPV GG Hank O - Hailing: Das Leicester City R 5. L IGA

The SPV GG Hanhofen-Hailing in the Bayernliga SUD has sat silently and quietly in the Bayernliga SUD to the top of the table and perched with fabulous eleven points ahead of the competition. This is all the more amazing because there are no stars or ex-pros as in many league spells in the team. Actually, the Lower Bavaria, as in all years since the division of the Bayernliga, wanted to play in a north and a Unstaffed 2012, only to the league. But now the Hornbeam, so the nickname of the team from the small village in the district of Straubing-Bogen, get the best title opportunities and can rise for the first time in the club history in the Regionally Bavaria. This possibility does not want to give away Hanover, such a board decision of Monday evening of the past week. We decided to perceive this unique opportunity. We will ask a license application, allows the sporting director Richard Marathoner (50).

Year, Years Hanover had the preservation of the Bayernliga as a goal. But now the club is suddenly at the top of the table, and you can see how fast things can change. It's something like the wonder of Leicester in the Premier League Season 2015/16. With 51 points from 21 games, the Lower Bavaria have long since arrested the class yet. Now it's about correcting the goal. If you stand up so long and has such a big lead, then of course you want to stay first until the end, says Herbert Better (61), which together with Tobias Beck (26), the recent coach of this lake class, as equal Trainer Duo acts and the troupe has brought to championship course.

Better, which is also regional selection trainers for the junior in Eastern Bavaria, brings it to the point: After the good preliminary work of our predecessor Gerry Huber, who introduced for the body and the head of challenging game forms, we have refined this and in terms of Puerto tactics turned on some set screws. So we have changed in the competition the player opening, the system and the type of pressing so that it suits our opinion optimally to our team.

Between toxic and snappy

In terms of mentality and team spirit, Beck and Better have been guided by a saying of National Trainer Hans Flick: We do not play each other, but for each other. So it is the highest premise, a balance between poisonous and snappy against the ball on the one hand and calm and control on the ball on the other. In addition, the team was already at the start of the preparation Top fit. The big share of it has Julian Brick (24), today at the U 19 of the VFL Bochum, who worked for four years as an athletic coach in Hanover, where the fruits of his work can be harvested.

The large pound, with the Hanover the numerous championship parades such as Donaustauf, Ingolstadt II, John Regensburg II, Eisenhower, Lands berg, or the two Augsburg clubs out of the field, are the great cohesion in the team and in the club as well as the great fan support with 700 spectators Per game (peak of the league). With Tobias Lerner (17 results in 21 games), Hanson also provides the most accurate protecting the league. Should it go in Lisa 4, down-to-earth will remain the trademark of the Hornbeam : We will continue to sit on young talents from the region, says Better.

The association will not depart from this philosophy, which the sports chief Marathoner has introduced years ago. He always finds candidates in lower classes that dare the jump into the BayernLiga. We are also glad that we have always been able to hold our players in recent years. This causes this powerful troop, says Marathoner the way.
