Newcomers to MSV Duisburg: coach Hirsch defends his team!

The MSV Duisburg is currently in the spotlight of the regional league, after five new players have been hired in the winter transfer window. These changes are increasing in a phase that is characterized by changeable performance on the square. After a disappointing 0: 2 defeat against Rot-Weiß Oberhausen and a tedious 2-2 draw against Eintracht Hohkeppel, the critical voices are increasing to the newcomers, which some fans view as a possible source of unrest in the team.

coach Dietmar Hirsch, who recently came back to MSV Duisburg from 1. FC Bocholt, has vehemently rejected these allegations. Hirsch emphasizes that communication within the team is good and the current performance is not due to the new players or an impending unrest. "It is not necessary that all players are best friends. It is more important that they act as a unit on the pitch," explains the 52-year-old.

new additions and their reasons

The reasons for the commitments of the new players are diverse. The departures of goalkeeper Kevin Kunz and the injury to Thomas Pledl made measures necessary. Julius Paris should now take responsibility in the goal. Despite his injury, Plessl also received a contract from social responsibility. Dustin Wilms and Thilo Töpken also strengthened the team, while Max Dittgen, who expressed a desire to return, was also included in the squad.

Hirsch draws a clear line at the 1st FC Bocholt in his previous time, where there was considerable resentment in the team after the winter break. For him, this situation is not comparable to the current at MSV Duisburg. The managing director of the association, Michael Preetz, also optimistically commented on the return of Hirsch, who played an important role in club history with 203 games for the MSV Duisburg between 1995 and 2005.

The way forward

With the return of Hirsch, the MSV Duisburg not only wants to create stability, but also to formulate a clear vision for future challenges. Preetz emphasizes that the new trainer stands for an active and intensive football that fits well with the ambitions of the club. Hirsch is pleased with the return and is motivated to be part of the new structure while preparing the team for the upcoming tasks.

Overall, the MSV Duisburg expects an exciting time in the regional league, with hope that the innovations in the team will lead to positive results. The next games will show whether the newcomers turn out to be a valuable addition and whether Hirsch can initiate the turn in the performance business with his philosophy. A look at the current transfer situation underlines that winter can not only be a time of upheaval, but also the possibilities.
