“An afternoon to forget”: Stuttgart aim to learn from St. Pauli defeat | OneFootball

VfB Stuttgart had to accept a setback after strong weeks. In the 1-2 loss at Millerntor, the team found few solutions against compact Hamburgers over 90 minutes.

An early great chance by Chris Führich went unused, and later he was unfortunately responsible for conceding a hand penalty.

"It was a rough afternoon," summed up coach Sebastian Hoeneß accurately. "The mental freshness and quick decision-making were lacking today."

After nine games in four weeks, the wear and tear was noticeable. Nevertheless, Hoeneß looks forward: "We want to learn from the defeat because we hopefully will have many more games."

Striker Ermedin Demirovic also showed fighting spirit: "We want to show that today was just a slip-up." The first complete training week since January is supposed to lay the foundation for this.
