Lucas Hufnagel graced in the summer for a long time with a return to the SpVgg Unterhaching – it is so home like nowhere else
Unterhaching – Hachings Trainer Claus Schromm know yet exactly how it is in Lucas Hufnagel has worked with: Should he return to the SpVgg Unterhaching, after he left in the summer of 2015 to SC Freiburg? In Breisgau, he had never set properly in the scene, also in the case of a lending transaction with the 1. FC Nuremberg, he was not an influential figure. But a return to the third division, which had a little step back.
Hufnagel would not be said to have failed. But Schromm can be quite convincing. And also helped how the team members reacted as she Hufnagel met once in the Parking lot at the sports Park, when he came to the second round of Negotiations. “All were absolutely thrilled: that Hufi is back,” says the Trainer. At the latest since Hufnagel thought final.
The homecoming has paid off for both sides, as it Schromm had prophesied. 13 Time, the 24-Year-old could be involved in the first half of the season, his record with three goals and three assists, could exclude even better, if he would not in the meantime to retire due to neck problems and a knee injury. “Hufi is a player who can make the difference – and he has proved it in the preliminary round,” says his Coach. “For him it was a long process, to be clear, that he finds back with us to happiness. I knew a little bit longer.“
sometimes you need to force people Yes to your happiness. Schromm was in talks with the midfielder, whom he has known since a young age, well, quite frankly. His Problem is that he is a center player, he explained Hufnagel. But no other coach would get him up in the center, because he was used in Freiburg and Nürnberg are constantly on the outside. “You can play in the Second League locker centre. But the other Trainer you don’t even know your Position, put you in Haching is different,“ explained to him Schromm. “And when you glue more on the outside, give you just your time.”
Hufnagel gift is to open up spaces that others do not see. On the pitch, he creates the after taste – behind the Scenes Schromm had to open up to him in the summer again, what are the (Free-)space Haching offers.
Similar to Sascha Bigalke of the returnees had presses in a set pattern, says the coach. Haching was unpredictable, this is also a mystery of the strong first half of the season. Sometimes the nail itself is not decode for the own Trainer. The other day he gave in a home game a Hachinger push for a rotation that was so rehearsed. Co-Trainer Steffen jumped up, but Schromm held him back: “If we take Hufi such things, we can send him home. Because that’s exactly what makes him so special.“
at the end of January Hufnagel 25. He is not a long time in age, in football, no future. And Haching offers him a good chance maybe it’s enough already this year for the climb. To a training camp in Cadiz with flies on Sunday in the Rest of Niclas Anspach. Born in July 2000. “This is a small Hufi, he has similar movements. He doesn’t know it yet,“ said Schromm. As convincing as the Coach is, he might open up, possibly as soon as the next young man, which rooms to explore in Unterhaching.
