Hamburg (dpa / lno) - Coach Timo Schultz from the second division soccer club FC St. Pauli still believes in a positive development of his team even after seven games without a win.

“It is clear that you would have more confidence after a win.

But I'll stick to it: development will be decisive in order to move forward.

I see a development.

So I am convinced that the results will come. "

Specifically, Schultz demands of his players: “We have to improve the game, the balance and the effectiveness in front of the goal.

If we can do that, we'll play football successfully. "

FC St. Pauli is in 17th place in the table with seven points.

The next opponent, Eintracht Braunschweig (Saturday, 1:00 p.m. / Sky) has one more point on the account and is in 16th position. The promoted team has been without a win for three games and most recently lost 4-0 to Darmstadt 98. «They have a similar phase as we started the season reasonably well, then had a hangover and are now looking for balance.

They conceded even more goals than we did, "said Schultz and added:" This is where two teams meet that have to make up for something and have to score three points. "

Among other things, the Hamburg team will have to do without captain Christopher Avevor, who will have an ankle surgery next week.
