The Darmstadt club assesses the situation quite differently.But let’s start from the beginning. What happened? After the game, it was seen how the Darmstadt players gathered in front of the stands in front of a fan and received a severe reprimand from him. The scene lasted long, and there were boos and whistles directed at the “prophet” from the stands. However, he stood unhindered on the pitch and delivered an emotional speech to the team.🗣️ A Darmstadt ultra made his opinion known to the rest of the squad after their 6-0 loss to Augsburg at home.

It was an exchange of thoughts and opinions – it was positive. It can be beneficial in the long run because the cohesion of our club will show again.”Goalkeeper Marcel Schuhen expressed similar sentiments, speaking of “emotional and in any case clear words,” but it wasn’t one bit aggressive.”I know what it means to be aggressive, but this was different. It was absolutely fine.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7918243##In any case, he praised the “sensitivity of the people here, who have already experienced very different things.”Even after such a defeat, they had experienced “a lot of respect”.”We got the respect from the fans even if we didn’t deserve it, I have to say quite honestly. They could have thrown things at us, insulted us, who knows. I would have accepted everything, in any way and in any form, because today, we were not worthy to wear the jersey.”However, that did not happen; rather, he perceived the fans’ reaction as positive. “That makes it even more difficult for me that people have dealt with the situation so well.”BUNDESLIGAFriday Freiburg – Bayern Munich 2-2 (1-1)/Gunter 12, Holer 87 – Tel 35, Musiala 75/Saturday Heidenheim – Eintr.Frankfurt 1-2 (0-1)/Pieringer 59 – Gimber 39 og, Nkounkou 49/Union Berlin – Dortmund 0-2 (0-1)/Adeyemi 41, Maatsen 90/Bochum – RB Leipzig 1-4 (1-1)/Wittek 7 – Olmo 30, Openda 68, Ordets 71 og, Poulsen 73/Mainz – M’ gladbach 1-1 (1-0)/Burkardt 12 – Ngoumou 55/Darmstadt – Augsburg 0-6 (0-5)/Tietz 2, 84, Jensen 12, Demirovic 20, 29, Vargas 25/Wolfsburg – Stuttgart 2-3 (0-1)/Maehle 50, Nmecha 83 – Guirassy 14, 54 pen, Vagnoman 77/Sunday 17.30: (8.50) Koln (4.90) Leverkusen (1.37)19.30: (2.00) Hoffenheim (3.70) Werder (3.90)***odds are subject to change
