Fortuna Düsseldorf: Crossing rooms crumble - coaches under pressure!

Fortuna Düsseldorf: Crossing rooms crumble - coaches under pressure!

Fortuna Düsseldorf is in a difficult phase of the season after the team has only won a win from the last eight games. At the moment, the team has slipped to eighth place in the 2nd league, although it previously held the lead for seven game days. However, the direct climb is only three points away. In the last game of the old season, Düsseldorf lost in the relegation against VfL Bochum after winning the first leg 3-0 in the decisive penalty shootout.

coach Daniel Thioune emphasizes the urgent need to bring more consistency into the team, but has not yet presented a specific plan for implementation. Manager Klaus Allofs calls for an improvement in home strength in order to be able to be considered a serious competitor for the upper table positions. It is important to mention that Fortuna took second place in the away table and only conceded six goals, which is the best defense abroad. In the home stadium, on the other hand, the statistics are alarming: the Düsseldorf team had already accepted 17 goals, so Fortuna has the weakest home defense in the league.
