The Heidenheim Chronicle

From our football correspondent Crisis

Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Heidenheim boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Match

7 matches without a win for Heidenheim

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Heidenheim are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Diant Ramaj keeps Heidenheim in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Hamburger SV take the points off Heidenheim

Beaten 1-2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Diant Ramaj gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Hennes Behrens knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Heidenheim, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match

A bad afternoon for Heidenheim against RB Leipzig

1-2 to RB Leipzig, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Miro Muheim gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Leart Paçarada knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Heidenheim, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The terraces

Everybody has an opinion about Christian Conteh

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.
