[Sports] Fight and win!

Three days left until Judgement day! After being defeated by Erzgebirge Aue three weeks ago, Dynamo's manager told the coach that he was to leave if they did not fight with honor in Karlsruhe and if they did not win against Unterhaching afterwards. The fight was there in Karlsruhe: Dynamo lost 1-2 against a strong opponent, but the real good thing: for the first time in 8 games they were leading 1-0 --- although for 5 minutes, only. :)

Next Sunday we will see the home match against Unterhaching, another direct competitor. They are currently on rank 15, Dynamo is on 16. Both teams gained 11 points up to now, but while Dynamo has not won since 8 matches, Unterhaching has an upward trend after two nice wins out of the last three games. That's the situation and all can read this from the news.

But how does it look inside?
  • The team declines all critics for the coach and says, they will play for him.
  • The coach is calm and silent as usual and even forgives those, who critizise him devastatingly.
  • The fans are undecided. That's a bad point. Many of them know that the coach as achieved wonders within the last 4 years. He took over Dynamo when they were near death, playing in League 4 and led them into League 2 within 3 years. But all this does not count, if you are not successfull at the moment. Easy to see, that there are also fans who would prefer to see him leave and restart the Dynamo engine, before it is too late.
Personally, I did not want the coach to leave after the Aue game and I am convinced that the current situation is not his fault at all. But the rules in professional soccers are as that: he is the one responsible for the situation, because he is the easiest one to be thrown out. After two weeks of thinking, I do not wish him to be kicked out, but this is not because I admire him so much, but because I want them to win on Sunday. Everything else we will see afterwards.

The weather: 70% snow probability for Sunday. 100% supernatural heat probability in the stadium.
