The table-18 lost the second game against SC Verl.

"I admit a bad game to everyone - what matters is how you react to it," said Lettieri on Monday.
The coach appealed to his professionals before the game at the table eight in Mannheim: "Run, fight, bite - every player in the 3rd division should bring this with them."
At the same time, he criticized the fact that specifications against Verl had not been implemented.
“You have to implement the match plan,” the 53-year-old German-Italian criticized his players.
In Mannheim it is now a matter of "being compact, but not neglecting the offensive - which we did not manage at all on Friday."
