FC Verden 04: Restart under Jan Sievers - relegation in focus!

The sporting challenges of FC Verden 04 are currently particularly high. After the dismissal of coach Frank Neubarth, who looked after the team for six years, the club is facing a restart. Jan Sievers, previously assistant coach, was entrusted with interim responsibility and prepares the team for the upcoming home game against VfV Borussia 06 Hildesheim, which will take place on Sunday at 3 p.m. in the Hubertushain stadium.

The decision to dismiss Neubarth came as a surprise, also for Sievers, which has been closely linked to the association since 2010. In the first training sessions under his leadership, he focused on the intensity of the duels to make the team more physically aggressive. FC Verden 04 is currently fighting for a victory for four games, and Sievers emphasizes the urgency to strengthen the team's morality by success.

preparation for the upcoming game

Sievers describes Hildesheim as a technically experienced team with fast players, who have defensive weaknesses. The team needs between 37 and 40 points for relegation within the remaining eight games by the end of the season. "We have to think from game to game and concentrate on every opponent," said Sievers.

An important aspect of preparation is the fitness of the players. Goalkeeper Jascha Tiemann could be missing due to a head injury he suffered in Wolfsburg after an incident. It is observed in the hospital for security, while Maximilian Hüster is available as a possible replacement goalkeeper. In addition, Kevin Klee reported that he was weakened in the flu, but should also be able to play.

"The spirit of optimism is clearly noticeable," said Sievers. He sees opportunities to avert the impending descent and emphasizes that the gap to the table rescue is not insurmountable. FC Verden 04 looks forward to the upcoming game in the spirit of common strength and willingness to will.
