With the commitment of Mihai Paduretu (51) as a player-coach began in 1997 in the regional League, the success story of the volleyball players of TSV Unterhaching. The former Romanian national player led the club as a Coach in three years in the League and win later, its professional Team Generali Haching four of the German Cup. After the withdrawal of the main sponsor, and the associated first division, he remained with the TSV as the managing Director of faithful. Since the return to the upper house in 2017, thanks to a Wildcard and cooperation with Austria’s serial Champions Innsbruck, Paduretu sports Director and to the Unterhachinger main character of the cross-border project with the name of Hypo Tirol Alps volleys Haching.
Unterhaching– 2018 were the Unterhachinger volleyball players at many levels successfully. Is, from a sporting perspective, actually, any of your wishes left open?
Better, you can always make it, otherwise you stand still. But it was a very good year. The Alps, volleys have become the third and now on the League front, the second team was in the 2. League, the Fifth, is at the Moment, with an even younger team on rank five. The ladies are ascended and again the Second. It runs in the Volleyball Department, not only in performance sports, but also in youth and grassroots sport. We have exceeded the 300 members limit, are one of the largest Volleyball divisions in the Munich area. And we have space for everyone.
The successful defense of the German U20 title, with her son Eric as a player and as a coach, you don’t have to be called now. This was probably a very special Moment?
This was of course a highlight. Especially as we have won. After two defeats to Start the boys stood with their backs to the wall and have proven to be Super-nervous.
A flaw there was, however, but the Cup in Düren, shortly after the start of the season.
This is annoying, because the Cup offers a good Chance to get a title. We have not made use of this opportunity at the time, with Generali Haching a couple of Times, as Berlin and Friedrichshafen were in such a good mood. And this season, they are not unbeatable, as you can see in the League. The Düren-game came out two, three weeks early. Only in the last three weeks, found our team, and her best Volleyball is shown.
Then you could get a Yes this time a different title. The Team is in the Bundesliga at the front: How the chances for the championship?
It’s just that it’s in the Play-offs again at zero. We were in the past, even twice, the first after the normal round and then lost in the final just. Of course it is important that you go first in the Play-offs, but still, you have to defeat Friedrichshafen and Berlin or also Düren, Germany or Frankfurt, then in ten days, three times.
But it looks this time, not like Berlin and Friedrichshafen, which make up the championship unmolested by the Rest of the competition. The title seems to be possible?
the distance to The First is no longer so great. You used to know usually before: Friedrichshafen is the master. Later, Berlin. This time it is not exciting but for how long. And we belong to the extended circle.
what is the goal for the second League Team?
It is not an easy season, because we were constantly injured. If we stay in the top half, we are satisfied. The goal is talent to the Bundesliga. And the structure with a Team in the 1. and a in the 2. League is ideal.
Jonas Sagstetter is the Prime example of this: He was with the U20 champion and after a year as service providers in the 2. The League achieved the Status of a permanent squad member in the pros. How do you see its prospects?
Last year, he has trained with the first-League team and in the 2. League game, practice collected. This was very important for him. Now he trains with the League Team, but plays little. When he comes, he makes it very well and if it is only for a mark-up or acceptance. In our 3:2 against Friedrichshafen, Germany, he came on as a substitute in a crucial Situation to the Service, the game was interrupted for three minutes, and he brings a Super-premium, where others only on safety would go. This shows what he can do. We will draw after the season the balance-sheet, because he must play. Whether that’s here or somewhere else, you see.
Creates your son, Eric, soon, the jump from the second team to the Bundesliga Team?
For Eric, it is good that he is in the 2. League plays. As a player you are not allowed to sit in the Bank. The team is in order, he has a lot of fun and it is a strong League is good for him. In Volleyball the jump from youth to adult is very difficult.
at what age is because whether a Talent grabs the breakthrough?
There are, of course, exceptional players, with 19 world Champions. But normally you can see with 22, 23, if someone manages. In playback devices it says: The older the better.
well, you were a Volleyball professional. Would you advise him to this step?
He studied business administration and to make all cases his Bachelor’s and Master’s, this will take two years. 90 per cent of the volleyball players have completed a course of study or a good education, more than in any other Sport. He is young, and has time enough has now made the Trainer C license. It is important that he plays. Some of them are in this age, in the case of team two, and three years on the bench. Then with 22 dead, and can stop. I say: The time everything is done.
Had Eric take it with you as a Trainer actually heavier than the other, because you are his father, and also, Yes, also media players were like him?
I’m strict with everyone, if I don’t see that he wants to. But that was when Eric never the case.
If you should choose to 2019, subject to the following two possibilities: winning the German championship or the entry of a new sponsor. What would you choose?
Both is on the border to utopia. But we must see to it that we bring the people in the hall, this is the first step. Then we can talk about sponsors. It does not need a large, there Venüsbet may be several smaller ones. I am convinced that we will find someone. So as I am convinced that we will eventually master.
it is Clear, however: It must pass Under hachinger page in terms of sponsors, something, because, otherwise, the Alps volleys-project 2020 could be set.
Hannes Kronthaler (the Alps volleys-makers from Innsbruck. the Red.) it has said in Public that we need to find in Unterhaching someone. But since it is not only about money but also about the balance in this project.
your life is a big part of football, but not only. You also have a wife and a daughter. What you wish for 2019 for your family?
health and that we can all continue to live happy. If you look at what is happening all around, we can be happy how well it comes to us in Bavaria.
