Dietmar Hopp puts pressure on trainer Sebastian Hoeneß

Patron Dietmar Hopp put a lot of pressure on Sebastian Hoeneß at the general meeting of TSG Hoffenheim with a clear demand.

“I claim that TSG should be at the top permanently on one of the six places,” said Hopp a few hours before Hoffenheim’s 3-1 defeat against VfB Stuttgart.

Although he is “happy about every year” Bundesliga, the 81-year-old has no desire for mediocrity in the long run. The association is to be represented regularly on the international stage in the future.

The demand will also “have validity far beyond my life horizon. And with Jens Rasijewski as head of our youth center it will be much more likely,” emphasized Hopp. The 46-year-old, previously NLZ boss, was promoted in the summer.

After seven games, the Kraichgauer are only in eleventh place. As the image reported, Hoeneß was already “on the brink” before the 3-1 win against VfL Wolfsburg on matchday six. The three points are said to have saved the 39-year-old’s job.

After another setback in the duel with VfB, Hoeneß expected another fateful game after the international break. On October 15th, TSG welcomes 1. FC Köln.

Even before the recent bankruptcy, Hoeneß had made his players responsible. “There is still the possibility on Sunday to put a certain message in the minds of the players. From then on there will be 18 players in all corners of the world,” he explained and announced a tough address: “We have to convince the games on our side That must be clear to everyone before they leave the premises. “
