Two times is not a time, but the third time it becomes a shoe.

This is how the “lilies” treat the striking tendency to concede late goals.

If the Darmstadt team couldn't see a trick after the home wins they missed against Heidenheim (2:2) and Bielefeld (1:1), the 3:3 on the Betzenberg last weekend kept them busy.

"We were very upset how we screwed up the 2-0 lead in Kaiserslautern.

That was our topic this week,” says head coach Torsten Lieberknecht.

Nine competitive games have been played for the SVD in this round, they took the lead in the last eight, but three times the result was only a draw.

If you include the points lost late, the southern Hesse would be at the top of the table.

Now the start of the season with seven unbeaten second division games in a row and 15 points after eight match days can still be described as successful, a home win over 1. FC Nürnberg this Saturday (1 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the 2nd Bundesliga and on Sky) in However, the sold-out Böllenfalltorstadion would help to avoid head problems arising from the emerging trend.

Positive core message

During the week, the coach and team looked at scenes of how the respective eleven professionals acted on the pitch after the tours.

“There were patterns of behavior that we discussed vigorously.

The guys also had one or the other idea of ​​how we could position ourselves better," says Lieberknecht, who has the basic knowledge of PR and psychology that a core message should always be turned into a positive one.

So: “We have long been a team that is difficult to beat.

That gives us a good feeling.” And: “It's still the case that we came back for FCK after the 3-2 lead.

That must give us a huge chest.”

The fact that the Darmstadt team were still able to counterattack to make it 3:3 after the loss of control, which quickly turned a 2:0 lead into a 2:3 deficit, is thanks to Aaron Seydel.

The player whose health was seriously shaken during his time with Lilien.

However, the way he appeared in Kaiserslautern after weeks of suffering from meningitis (inflammation of the meninges) and scored a goal worth seeing in added time made his value for the SVD clear.

"That's why you play football.

You're a little boy and you're happy about your goal," says Seydel.

The man from Langen with the imposing body length of 1.99 meters can make a difference in the opposing penalty area.

He proved that in terms of performance, which was more difficult because of higher demands, and an insufficient start time in Darmstadt last season.

When the highly praised goalscoring duo Phillip Tietz/Luca Pfeiffer faltered, Seydel jumped into the breach and scored another six goals.

He had just recovered from an Achilles tendon operation that kept him from the profession for a long time.

At the beginning of July, the 26-year-old suffered the next health-endangering setback.

After the meningitis diagnosis and a ten-day stay in the hospital, it took him a few weeks to even be able to think about physical exertion.

Now he feels fit again and he would like to see a little more playing time in the future and not just the role of emergency helper in added time.

Trainer Lieberknecht still slows down: "It's good when Aaron paws his hooves.

Then he has to hope for me when I let go of him again.”
