Captain Dahler: Borussia is fighting to stay in the Saarland League!

After an inglorious start to the season, captain Marco Dahler speaks clearly and directly: Borussia from Neunkirchen has a lot to make up for in the Saarland league. After the first four games there is already talk of a false start, which is more than just a way for the team to reflect on their problems. Dahler explains that the quality of the players was clearly visible in the game against SC Reisbach, but that the necessary pressure and motivation could not be exerted on the pitch. He draws an interesting parallel: “Like an engine that doesn’t get up to speed,” the team now has to finally get going, which can be frustrating for many fans.

However, things look promising in training compared to the performance in the game. Dahler assures that the team is not playing poorly on purpose and that the current situation is rather a call to work hard to regain the game luck they need. “If we develop a positive atmosphere, performance will also increase,” adds the captain. Negative shouts from the ranks don't help, especially not for them
younger players who urgently need support.

A call for togetherness

The next upcoming matches against the teams from Rastpfuhl, Bliesmenge-Bolchen and the U23 from Elversberg are crucial for Dahler. He encourages fans to support the team and pull together. “It’s important to keep your head up and stick together as a team,” says Dahler. External pressure can be psychologically stressful and affect performance. Therefore, it is crucial that fans recognize their role as motivators.

Psychology plays a big role in football, as derrottenberg.com explains. Motivation, both individually and as a team, is crucial in driving players to peak performance. Role models and a positive team atmosphere promote the development of young talent, which could help Borussia realize its potential.

A look into the future

Dahler is optimistic that the initial phase of the season can still be transformed. Memories of previous teams that thrived after a false start give him courage. "The start of the season is still in its infancy. We look from game to game to get into a positive flow," said Dahler. This is a way to overcome the phase and show your own strength. The coming weeks will be crucial in order to regain confidence and not lose touch with the top places in the table.

With a total of 31 appearances this season and already 270 minutes on the pitch, Dahler is a central player who infects the fans and his teammates with his passion, as can also be seen on transfermarkt.co.uk. But now it's time to roll up our sleeves and show that Borussia is not only strong on paper, but can also impress in the game.
