After the perfect debut at Syntainics MBC with two records, the new trainer Ingo Freyer was decidedly unemotional. “We’re on the right track, that’s what the result shows. It doesn’t matter how many points we scored. It just counts that we got the two points,” said the Weissenfels coach after the 123:80 against Hamburg at “MagentaSport”. After seven defeats in a row, the success was not just the hoped-for liberation in the relegation battle. It was also the tenth win of the season – a mark that has always been enough to stay up in the league in the recent past.
This is far from fixed with five games left. “We’re on the right track, that’s all we showed,” stressed Freyer. The 52-year-old was brought in as a rescuer during the week to succeed the released Igor Jovovic. And Freyer, who was already a player in Weißenfels, couldn’t have wished for a better start.
With a difference of 43 points and 123 self-scored points, the MBC recorded two records. So far, the 102:64 in November 2003 against the Artland Dragons was the highest win in 17 Bundesliga years. In October 2022, the 117:113 in Würzburg scored the most points so far, but it also required two overtimes.
