Mainz (dpa) - Sports director Christian Heidel draws a positive first balance of the rescue mission of the relegation-threatened Bundesliga soccer club Mainz 05. "We have made a decent start, but that does not help," said the 57-year-old in an interview with "Bild" - Newspaper (Wednesday).

“It's great that we turned the mood.

You can't keep relegation depressed.

But nothing has been achieved yet. "

Heidel, who was manager at FSV Mainz 05 from 1992 to 2016, has been with the Rheinhessen team since the beginning of January together with Martin Schmidt as sports director and Bo Svensson as head coach.

Since then, Mainz, who have long been beaten in the table, have come close to a point of non-relegation.

"We're much more closed now, everything looks more solid," said Heidel.

«The team doesn't believe in miracles, but they believe in themselves again!

And we are again the hunters of the others above us. "
