Mainz FC are looking to turn their Bundesliga season around after a mixed start. Coach Bo Henriksen believes they are close to unlocking their full potential. After the international break, the team has been analysing their previous performances, particularly the loss against Hamburger SV.
Focus on Improvement
"We've obviously analysed the game. The break was good for us though, both mentally and for recovery, as we've got a busy schedule of games coming up," Henriksen stated. The team's main goal is clear: to accumulate more points and improve their performances. They recognize the need to convert opportunities into goals.
Building Confidence Through Wins
Henriksen emphasized the importance of winning to build self-confidence, which in turn makes winning easier. While Mainz has secured victories in the DFB-Pokal and UEFA Conference League, they are striving for success in the Bundesliga. After six matchdays, Mainz has not won, drawing three times and losing three.
"The most important thing for us is to get more points on the board, as well as improving our performances, as we’re not 100% satisfied with them. We’re getting into good situations, but we need to start taking our chances and scoring goals,” said Henriksen.
- Intense training sessions are crucial.
- Building self-confidence in games is paramount.
- Converting chances into goals is a key focus.
Mainz is determined to find the key to consistent success in the Bundesliga, and they are working hard to achieve their goals. South African football fans will be watching closely to see if they can turn their season around.
