Darmstadt: Reunion with important Building Block Grammozis

Dim Grammars has done a very good job with his coaching team in his one and a half years at Darmstadt 98, says Darmstadt s sporting director Carsten Weizmann, who had brought the VFL Bochum to the Bochum in February 2019 in February 2019. The athletic balance showed that with our coach decision, which was considered from the outside as courageous, have been right.

Do not be afraid of mistakes

In the winter of 2019, the lilies had given a Tribes picture. The team played defensive, unattractive and anxious. In relation to the former success coach Dirk Schuster crunched it. The relegation places moved closer. After the 1: 1 against Tannhauser one pulled the emergency brake and separated from Schuster.

Grammars Credo Do not be afraid of mistakes helped the unsettled team that seemed like freed. She switched quickly, bravely played forward. Milestones were 3: 2 after 0: 2 residue at the Hamburger SV or the Purpose defense battle at 2: 1 in Cologne, with which the premature league has been made perfectly.

The error with Tempe

If only the eleven games were considered under the new coach, the team would have been in third place. The expectations for the coming season were correspondingly high. The squad was tapered, talents such as Mathias Honda, Tim Share or Patrick Pfeiffer committed to the trunk today. In the course of this rejuvenation Grammars thought of being able to do without Routine Tobias Tempe. However, this proved to be misjudgment.

Kempis routine, its importance in the team s structure, its standards and his goal danger were not to be replaced. The points remained, the team seemed lush and unsettled. Grammars revised his decision, Tempe returned to the team. But only from December, the team stabilized again.

Missing trust and bad experiences

At the end of February 2020, Grammars was a year in office, the lilies for eight games undefeated, a contract extension seemed only a matter of form. That negotiations burst was surprising. The sticking point was the contract period. The coach wanted at least two years term, the club did not want to give him more than a year.

That was certainly a sign that the coach is not 100 percent trusted. The experiences with pre-predecessor Torsten Brings also played a role. With him one had extended prematurely, separated a few weeks later and then for more than two years the salary of the ex-national player paid. Grammars successor Markus Start then received a contract over two years — and was already gone after a year.

Building blocks for modernization

Although the end of the collaboration was fixed early, the Lilies 2020 still played a strong residual season: For a short time you even dreamed of the climb and ended up in the end five — the best placement since the Bundesliga rise in 2015.

In fact, at the SV Darmstadt 98 from Winter 2019, the foundation stone for the athletic renewal and modernization after the end-of-worn shuffler Old-School football. The commitment of Grammars as a coach was an important building block for this renewal. More importantly, however, the transport of Wetlands was the sporting director. With many good personnel decisions, he has a significant share of the current altitude flight of the lilies.

The system question

A reproach that MAN Grammars in Darmstadt and which is also listening to Schalke, he is not a real game idea. This was also moored that he kept held in Darmstadt almost Stoic at his 4-2-3-1 system and no trailer of the possession of the ball s football was. But the success gave him right. Ironically, the team returned to the system under successor at the beginning of the crisis and then played the best second division second half of the club s history.

For the current Lilies coach Torsten Lieberknecht it is now the first meeting with Grammars in his coaching career. Attention to the pressure on the Schalke coach, Lieberknecht said, he wishes him — like all his co-workers — the best possible support in the club. In sports director Rouen Schröder, Grammars have someone on his side, the knows that it is important to support a coach if you walk through valleys.

But of course, the focus of the Darmstadt preparation is on the Sunday (13.30 clock live! At team) the success series of last ten points from four games on Schalke continued. Sports boss WEIZMANN speaks of something countable that you want to tie, Lieberknecht wants a victory. That would increase the pressure on Grammars then further.
