NÜRNBERG – With his third goal of the season, Under-21 international Robin Hack gave 1. FC Nürnberg an important 1-0 home win against Erzgebirge Aue and thus a conciliatory end to the year. However, the winner of the match first needed a wake-up call from his dissatisfied coach.

When Robert Klauß and Robin Hack found their way to television interviews, there was another warm hug between the coach and the winner of the match. Midway through the first half, little had indicated that Hack would still be on the field after the break. The U21 national player, who returned to the title after recovering from an ankle strain against Aue, had barely been able to win a duel and after another half-action had to even hear clear words from the side.

“Robin did not defend the second ball well and let himself be pushed, but that was one of our main issues before the game. He was not satisfied and I told him,” explained Klauß, but he did not want to overestimate his little talk. : “Robin knows me, knows what is in me as a coach and that I give him freedom in the game. If I ever get a difficult word, he can accept it.”

In fact, Klauss’s steering wheel seemed to have elicited a defiant reaction to the visibly annoying Hack. The 22-year-old quickly fired a shot at the left outside post in the first sign of life from the Nuremberg offense (30), which had barely appeared to date. six minutes later he scored his third goal of the season after excellent preparatory work by Manuel Schäffler. “He does it really well the way he comes in,” praised Klauss.

Hack: “Made a great development”

The hero of the afternoon himself was modest. “I’m happy with my goal and I’m happy that I was able to score again,” Hack said, but above all he praised the team: “The team is making a very good impression at the moment. Now we are getting the dirty wins.” We could have lost games like this last season. If you look at the last six months, we have had a great development. We are on the right track. “

Besides the scorer, Christian Mathenia was also able to feel a bit like the father of victory. With three good saves, the club’s goalkeeper had saved his team from falling behind and after the draw. “I am happy that I was able to help the team today and I am very happy with the three points,” said Mathenia. Like Hack, the veteran also witnessed a “good development” to the seventh table with a view to all 13 games of the season so far, but this was far from over.

Klauss’s wish for an early decision

Klauss knows it too. “We have become too frantic in the possession of the ball and let Aue’s game impose high balls on us,” complained the coach, and his eleven failed to take advantage of the attractive moments of change. “In a game like this, I hope we don’t have to shake until 94 minutes, but decide the game beforehand,” Klauss said, and he should have thought of Hack again, the one in the 75th minute after the strong pass. Tim Handwerker alone in front of the Aues goalkeeper, Martin Männel, had missed the probably redeemer 2-0.

After a harrowing final phase, Klauss was able to give his team “a great compliment”, “that we will play these tight matches on our side and win them.” Even if it required a little wake-up call first.
