After first half of the season and Hecking’s decision to leave Nürnberg to Wolfsburg it looks more or less for a big disaster because where to get a good and experienced coach to continue the good work. But all my respect to the responsible of Nürnberg. They kept the peace and were looking for a suitable solution. They found an acceptable solution with Wiesinger and Reutershahn and after some matches they saw that they made a very good decision. Both working very well together and do all for success. They lost only one 2013 so far and this was against Dortmund where they were without any chance. The other matches they played well and got rewarded for their effort. But overall they won not much as many draws shows. Sometimes they had a lot of luck too or maybe they use the weakness or stupid mistakes from their opponents. Their last two matches they were such kind of luck. At home against Schalke they were more than lucky because Schalke wasted a lot and as always in Soccer if you miss much the opponent score with his first attempt. This happened here but with a doubtful action from Feulner who changed the direction of the ball with his hand for a good shooting position and the following goal. This lead played in their cards and the game turned more and more to their favor. Last one was in Wolfsburg where coach Wiesinger choose the wrong tactic with midfielder Esswein as striker upfront, Wolfsburg took the early lead and they were up 2-0 at half time but as Wiesinger change his mistake and count on Pekhardt upfront while Esswein move to his normal position on the wing the match was controlled by Nürnberg very well and they heap a lot of pressure on Wolfsburg’s back who were not able to do anything against. With a lucky goal from Simons (sure a dream goal but he never score such a goal again) Nürnberg came back and with a free kick from Kiotake who was finished by Nilssons header let them get a deserved draw in the end.
On the other side we have the same situation for Mainz. They are only beaten one time 2013 but also not many wins, many draws like Nürnberg. This is only because they wasted so many good opportunities in their matches where they were many times the better side but were not able to bring it to end or score more at least. Too much depends on striker Szalai and Ivanschitz or Müller. If these players are not able to score or use their chances it is more than difficult to win matches. Once again, it was to experience against Bremen last Saturday. They took the lead, a very early lead, dominating the match but forgot to score more. If Müller had scored the 2-0 as he was in a very good position the match would have been decided but football is cruel and therefore Hunt equalized two minutes later and let Bremen getting a draw. Although Mainz rides a wave of draws they are still in a good position for an international spot. Coach Tuchel stands for good work and he knows to motivate his team very well. Additional he has some problems on both back wing positions because with several players unavailable he must tricks again but Pospech and Bell did a good job and they are set for this positions again. Above all Bell has a very good record (5-3-0), if he plays this season. Maybe this can be a good sign as well for them.
