Hecking under pressure? Bochum boss reacts to the defeat

For the fourth time in the still young second division season, VfL Bochum has lost. After the game, the frustration of the fans also erupts. There are whistles and shouts of "we've had enough."

The result crisis continues with the 0:1 in Paderborn. Internally, however, there is no doubt about coach Dieter Hecking, said sports boss Dirk Dufner after the match to 'Bild', and backed his coach.

"In the end, it’s always success stories that help you turn things around. We currently don't have those - accordingly, we're stuck in a mess," added Dufner. Solidarity is now needed to come out of the crisis together. "Then things can quickly go in the other direction. But we are currently far from that," the VfL boss stated clearly.
