FC St. Pauli is threatened with relegation. Now Fabian Hürzeler takes over the post of head coach: at only 29 years of age. In an interview with star he talks about the psychological pressure in the football business – and how, as a young coach, you get the respect of the alpha animals.
They are at the training camp in Benidorm right now. Your team is threatened with relegation, the NDR writes “Good mood under palm trees”. Are you okay?
We work together many, many hours every day, and quite hard. Honestly, that’s part of having fun, isn’t it? The pressure and expectations on us are high – you need a little joy in between. Otherwise, at some point, your head will be full and it will be difficult to convey content. You absorb more when you are mentally more relaxed. Only: We did the training camp primarily to work on ourselves. This shouldn’t be a fun event.
