Now the Bavarians are waiting
“Of course Ilzer imagined things differently”
Two months after his move to the German Bundesliga, Christian Ilzer is already under a lot of pressure. "Yes, of course he imagined it differently," says legend Lothar Matthäus in an interview with sportkrone.at boss Michael Fally (video above)
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Christian Ilzer's tenure at TSG Hoffenheim got off to a promising start, but after eight consecutive matches without a win, the mood in Kraichgau is now one of crisis. "He got off to a good start with a 4:3 win against Leipzig. That was of course a huge game, also for him. But then there were no more successes," Matthäus analyzes the Styrian's current situation.
"People have trusted him - and they will continue to trust him. Because you can't change coaches every two or three months, then you're admitting mistakes," Matthäus continues to count on Ilzer's backing.
Trip to Munich
There are no signs of relaxation: Today (8.30pm/live in the sportkrone.at ticker), Hoffenheim host league leaders Bayern Munich to close out the first half of the season.
"... then there will also be a big discussion about his name"
Ilzer has done "outstanding work" at Sturm, according to Matthäus. "That's what they hope in Hoffenheim too. They're giving him time, the next six or eight weeks. But if he doesn't turn things around, then of course his name will be the subject of much discussion."
