Sport Director Shapourzadeh Expresses Concern: '3rd League Pose Unacceptable Risks' - Sports Director of Hansaexpress, Shapourzadeh, voices concerns: "Third League poses excessive risks"
Sport Director Amir Shapourzadeh of Hansa Rostock ain't shouting no bullsh*t slogans for the upcoming season. He told the Ostsee Zeitung, "The 3. Liga's a fuckin' minefield, mate. I ain't gonna promise the moon."
The bloke took over last May after Rostock got shoved down to the 3. Liga. He replaced Bernd Hollerbach, and hired Daniel Brinkmann who almost got em to promotion spots. They ended up in fifth place instead.
Shapourzadeh warns that next season's gonna be tough, even with Dynamo Dresden and Arminia Bielefeld promoted. Saarbrücken's staying in the league, enforcing the squad, and making some shrewd moves. Rot-Weiss Essen's on the up, keeping their key players post-winter boost. 1860 Munich's got some star signings too, y'see.
Shapourzadeh's focus is on bringing in players who fit the squad like a glove, on and off the pitch. "We won the state cup and finished fifth in the 3. Liga. Our aim's to take it up a notch."
He means athletics, gameplay, and team spirit. They've had games where they've shipped four or five goals, leaving em in the dust. They gotta build a formidable team, stick to a plan, and handle setbacks like losing a game once in a blue moon.
The DFB-Pokal's a crucial aspect, according to Shapourzadeh. "Participation in the first round's in our budget, and we can earn more dough," he said. Clubs taking it to the semi-finals or even finals in recent years have banked ten mil euros. He reckons a favorable draw could land em a shot at the second round.
