Fortuna Düsseldorf: Barbecue festival should bring about a turnaround in the relegation battle!

At the moment the situation at Fortuna Düsseldorf is anything but rosy. After two opening defeats in the 2nd league, the club is in last place in the table with 0 points and a record of only 1:7 goals. Things will get serious on Monday when the first win is on the agenda in the cup game against Schweinfurt at 6 p.m. (via Sky). The nerves are on edge and coach Daniel Thioune is under a lot of pressure to get the team back on track quickly. It's burning, so sugarcoating won't help.

Another bizarre chapter in the current turmoil is the office's confrontation with the communications disaster surrounding Shon Weissman's failed transfer. This incident even led to accusations of anti-Semitism, which caused serious problems for the club. It is all the more necessary to analyze the disappointing performance against Hannover (0:2) and to reveal the reasons for it.

Team spirit and barbecue

In an attempt to raise spirits within the team, a barbecue was held between the dressing room and the training pitch last week. Captain Florian Kastenmeier (28) initiated this event, which invited all of the club's employees. Bratwursts, steaks, beer and water not only filled the stomach, but also gave a series of motivational speeches. Both Kastenmeier and Thioune spoke to the players to strengthen the “we” feeling and bring back the positive mood.

This afternoon together on the training ground is intended to promote good cooperation and prepare the team for the challenges ahead. Thioune himself had already announced after the spectacular friendly win against Hilden (6-0) that intensive work on previous performances would be necessary.

Looking into the future

So it means: Let’s go, Fortuna! The upcoming cup encounter against Schweinfurt could not only be a turning point in the season, but also an opportunity to dispel the dark clouds hanging over Düsseldorf. Fortuna has it in their own hands to fight their way out of the slump and get the fans back on their side.

In the meantime, it remains to be seen what impact the club's social and team-building measures will have. Fortuna urgently needs a boost - both on the pitch and throughout the club. The next few days promise an exciting chapter in the club's history, and the entire team will be challenged to put their promises into action.

It remains crucial for Fortuna fans that their team quickly returns to its old strength and that the feeling of togetherness can be experienced not only at the barbecue, but above all on the pitch.
