Print increases: Hansa Rostock under Brinkmann prepared for the next game!

In the 3rd league there is currently a lot of exciting, especially at FC Hansa Rostock, where coach Daniel Brinkmann is under pressure. At the moment, the team has only scored 11 points from 10 games, which makes the situation comparable to that of the previous year when Bernd Hollerbach had to take his hat off after a defeat in Saarbrücken, how Nordkurier reported. Despite the dark prospects, Brinkmann has not had to fear for his job since his takeover in November 2024, since he was celebrated by the fans in the last week after a 2-2 against MSV Duisburg.

However, the last games were anything but successful. In the past English week, Hansa Rostock only scored 2 points from three games: The team played 1-1 against TSV Havelse, then lost 1: 3 against Energie Cottbus and recently saved himself to a 2-2 draw against Duisburg. This defeat against Cottbus is particularly painful because the team was unable to use several top -class opportunities, says Brinkmann. Now he is under the pressure to build the players and bring the turn to NDR.

The current situation

Brinkmann tries to stay optimistic. "The tendency points upwards," he says, even if not much has changed in the scout. The support of sports director Amir Shapourzadeh is available, but this avoids a clear promise to Brinkmann's future: "We are in an open exchange," he said. So it remains unclear how long Brinkmann can still hold the reins in his hand if the team's performance should not improve.

Particularly noteworthy is the cohesion of the team, which was clearly visible in the game against Duisburg. Cedric Harenbrock achieved both compensation for Rostock and proved that the team was fighting to the limits. On Friday, October 10th, the state cup game against SV Görmin is now pending, where the Rostockers can show what they can do.

A look into the future

In the coming days, Brinkmann plans to use the training week intensively to work on the offensive and defensive stability. He hopes that battered players like Andreas Voglsammer and Chris Kinsombi will soon be available again to strengthen the offensive. The next game against the leaders MSV Duisburg is considered a big challenge. Brinkmann knows that his team needs goals to create the turn and thus reduce the worries about his future.

The location is tense and time is pushing. After all, not only the next games are on the program, but also the question of whether Daniel Brinkmann can tear the helm again. There is a lot to do for the coach of FC Hansa Rostock.
